Liverpool Theatres Review

Really enjoyed the production. Good sight lines. Can be a little cramped but not overly so. Audiences are considerate in comparison to the Liverpool Empire (lost count of the number of times events at the Empire have been ruined because of halfwits yapping and staring into mobile phone screens).

Wonderful evening at the Playhouse, Around the world in 80 days. Great production with brilliant cast.

Watched the worst witch with my two daughters. Lovely venue, very organised and great show

We watched Abigail's Party on 30 March - the matinee performance and it was really great. Very funny and brilliantly acted. The audience were so enthusiastic and it was a very enjoyable afternoon. My only criticism would be that it was very warm in the theatre.

Pretty much guaranteed a good night out when visiting the Playhousr

This is a beautiful old theatre with some amazing original features. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

Lovely building and the plays that are on in there are usually great, but beware the seats. My butt is always sore from sitting even if i get up and stretch my legs during the intermission. Beware the chair!

Really good show (A Christmas Carol by spy monkey) really busy night and the staff were fantastic, really friendly and they even put on some mulled wine for the festive spirit

Went for a meal here yesterday wasn't very impressed with the starter it was plain an simple part from that the main was cooked beautifully bit pricey

Great facilities, amazing performance space and an amazing atmosphere

Really cool little theatre although freezing cold backstage, bring a jumper!

Great night last night at Playhouse. The cast of "Still Alice" were amazing. My son and I were gripped by the play. Very friendly staff at the theatre. We will be back.

A great old theatre that tries to do things right. Looks out for some of the smaller productions in the Studion space upstairs.

Very friendly staff.also enjoyed the show I went to see .. Baskerville

Seating uncomfortable if you are taller than 5 foot

Clean and very grand interior, play was very good with reasonable ticket prices and good set design

Went to watch Christmas Carol , where there was a total cast of 4 people playing different charachters , was not worth the price and then you have to strain your neck due to stage being so high

Went to see Richard Herring podcasts not the greatest interviewer but was up for the fight, a really good night

Wonderful place to go for a night out usually there's something great on at the time

I saw a great show at the Liverpool Playhouse it's just a great please to say show also the staff are very friendly

Friendly, helpful staff! The seating is cosy to say the least! Glad it wasn't full when we were there because we managed to move up a seat. Fabulous production of Still Alice!

Lovely old theatre but having been at the Everyman the month before, a very different experience. Seats are uncomfortable and allegedly there has been a refurb? Outside maybe but the bar area was poor.

Always a great programme of events and a great venue.

The service was excellent. The play"girl on the train was brilliant well done to all the cast especially Samantha womack who shamed a couple on the front row for drinking and talking through the whole play !!!!!

A really lovely theatre. Pleasant architecture inside and a cosy auditorium, with a cool upstairs lobby. I've yet to see a disappointing play at the Playhouse.

Helpful staff. Fun production of Abigail's Party. I'd go again.

Sarah Janet Roberts - the production you are talking about was at the Royal Court, not the Playhouse.

A brilliant venue in the centre of Liverpool. They usually have a range of plays and shows each season, and is great value for the diverse performances it showcases. They also have a partnership with the Everyman Theatre.

Excellent venue. Saw Chekhov's first play. Innovative and thought- provoking.

Scrooge was hilarious, belly laughs all around. Booked last minute (on the day) sat in the restricted view seats to find the view wasn't that restricted so a bargain at 10.00.

The play Christmas Carol 5 star. Actors were all brilliant. Although, it was performed with social distencing it was amusing. How they thought up how to do it was amazing and funny. Tiny Tim, bless him was hilerious, but not sure he was meant to be. The theatre a little on the chilly side, hence the 4 star rating. The goodie bundles over priced not worth it. No bar open, understandable. No alcohol served unless in a bundle. Bit of a rip off I thought. But the main thing was the play and that was excellent well done.

Absolutely wonderful depiction of A Christmas Carol. Laughed from beginning to end, and did not want it to end. I would definitely advise others to see it, Spymonkey are a brilliant company of artistes, musicians and production people. I loved it.

Love coming here tasty scouse and always a brilliant night

Sitting in front row of gallery. We are quite small slim people but found it uncomfortable especially after the interval. Would not recommend for a long performance or if taller that 160cm.
A Christmas Carol was more like a farce, wrongly compared to 39 Steps which is funnier and much more slick. Not what we expected and rather tedious.

Great show, and a nice theatre. However a small selection in gallery bar and unbelievably hot in there, to the point of sweating. Needs Aircon!

"Toast" First act was unexciting and at times sleep inducing but the second act had more tension and conflict, engendering more empathy with Nigel, his life circumstances and drive for cooking.

Basic but slickly used kitchen scenery.

Brilliant staff and service but the seats upstairs are very tight.

Went a few weeks ago and it was a really enjoyable experience with friendly staff. Shall certainly come back when I'm next visiting.

Seats are very cramped and drinks are very expensive but the atmosphere is great
