Great theatre offering a wide range of different types of productions from plays, dance and music. There is a bar and restaurant and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. There is a lift up to the auditorium. Parking is available on the side streets and nearby car parks.

The Rep is a great cultural icon for Dundee. It attracts extremely high quality productions and offers a great all round experience for young and old. The Creative Learning part of the Rep is also a real selling point for this theatre as it has incredibly good links with local educational establishments such as the University of Dundee.

Oor Wullie was an absolute brilliant play. As someone who got an Oor Wullie or The Broons annual for Christmas, the Actors/Actresses had the characters down to a T. I forgot just how much effort the casts put into these shows, I think the last time me and my daughter went to a show at the rep was either Hairy McClary and Friends or Charlie and Lola. Which is probably around 4-5 years ago. I certainly will look to get back in 2020. Taking in these shows - The hard work and skill by the cast is brilliant. The applause by the audience shows how much it is appreciated, and certainly, The show I was at - I thought the roof might come off The Dundee Rep. the performance was well received. Well done to everyone involved in the Oor Wullie Production, and to the Dundee Rep for the good facilities and organisation of these events.

The staff are friendly and welcoming. The Rep is theatre itself has an intimate auditorium with comfortable seats and a cosy environment. You can hear a whisper from the back row or feel power in a roar. On arrival after picking up tickets we were directed upstairs. There is very limited waiting space. Hardly more than a few tables to catch a coffee or food before the show starts. Come early and you will be rewarded with great food and nice coffee. Come late and it's queue central with standing room only. Thanks to limited space, the toilets are only one cubicle in the gents and a "Stand up lavatory" big enough for two. The ladies I am told have limited cubicles. When you consider the footfall through here those of you with the bladder size of a peanut (like myself) planning is important. Sorry I didn't see disabled toilet facilities but they were no doubt at ground floor access for ease of use. I understand that the Rep's immediate future involves improvements in toilet facilities. I was lucky to see Sir Ian McKellen on his recent tour. The acoustics are fantastic. The people behind the Rep have a happy family feel. I loved it. The Rep is a great asset and I will be back.

There are only 5 ladies toilets in this theatre which is not nearly enough when the theatre is full. The seats in the auditorium are extremely uncomfortable with very little space between them. For the prices charged for tickets I feel the facilities could be much better.

Lovely building offering a variety of great shows, plenty of workshops and other events. I held the launch night for my jewellery website here in the bar area (which is great for pre theatre drinks or a coffee) and had a wonderful evening, the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. They also have a great restaurant downstairs.

We went to see A Christmas Carol and it was outstanding. The Dundee Rep might be a small theatre but it's productions are first rate and up there with any I've seen in London. The restaurant is excellent and there is a great selection of drinks for mid-session interval.

A very nice Theatre and the Musical was fantastic. They may have been School Pupils, but they sang and danced like perfessionals. They made you feel as though you were on Broadway at the Theatre. We wish them all the luck in the world. Thank You again for a Great Night.
