Nottingham Playhouse Review

Excellent show, bar fairly priced. Parking was priced OK.

Very smart, clean and staffed by friendly and helpful people. My only real gripe is the seats. They are not wide enough. I'm not one of these people who spill over the sides of chairs and seats however these hurt my hip bones. Something I can't recall ever experiencing before. Thankfully the act (Richard Herring) took my mind from the discomfort very quickly.

Absolute fantastic brilliant night. The kids loved every minute of it!!

A very creative theatre. The quality of the production, the actors and the stage were excellent. The venue has all the facilities anyone would need. There are nearby car parks, it is wheelchair accessible and friendly for people with disabilities. Just check the play is suitable for your age.

Small theatre, but plenty of leg room, great atmosphere. Liked this theatre very much.

Stewart Lee Tornado / Snowflake: completely brilliant performance in a really relaxed setting.

Nottingham playhouse is a modem looking building with a large sky mirror just outside the main entrance, it's good to look at in all light conditions.
The veiwing area is large in an oval shape, with a balconies above. You can see the stage well from anywhere and get a great view. The stage is large enough for most plays to be performed. There is a restaurant on site although I didn't use it.

Really smart theatre, nice bar good choice for the type of venue. Not too expensive and a lot of room. Parking was good near by. Excellent spread of comedy acts on better than nearly anywhere in the country. Definitley worth a visit.

The Playhouse is a wonderful theatre, one of the best in the UK. Their traditional pantomime is always a real family treat.

Good facilities and lovely public spaces make a visit very enjoyable. The auditorium is small and cosy so you always get a good view, no matter where you sit. I am very tall but there seems to be enough leg room.

Awesome local rep - make sure you check out the bar and restaurant if you have time. Plus the Sky Mirror is a must see at sunrise.

Fantastic performance of "Wonderland' seen at The Playhouse. Well worth going to see: raw, real and rich; quite simply a must see.

Brilliant as usual. We come every Christmas but this year I took my mum along! We had a great time laughing away. Such a lot of hard work goes into it every year. We very much appreciate it. Such talented people. Keep up the good work!

A great venue for more contemporary/independent/local artists and performers

Watched Coram Boy today, 5* community production. Singing, costumes, acting all excellent - loved every minute. Some raw talent in a very diverse cast watch out you professionals!

Fun venue with great bar and restaurant. Stopped in for a quiet afternoon drink with friends. Friendly staff and dramatic surroundings really made the place. The Anish sculpture kept the kids entertained.

Just far enough off the beaten path to not be crowded in the summer. Decent menu as well. Perfect for pre show drinks or post performance dinner.

Great atmosphere, good auditorium, friendly staff, good selection of plays

This is a great venue ideal for small scale concerts much more intimate that the concert hall you feel really connected with the performer's. Pleasent courteous staff. However avoid row D hardly any leg room! and I'm only average height. Rows immediately behind had much more room.

I love the atmosphere here. Food is alright. Staff are friendly and nice.

Superb theatre! Great staff too. Bonus getting a discount on parking at the Mount Street NCP.

Great local productions, as well as some touring productions. Space is fantastic and there are loads of activities throughout the week. Playhouse also do outreach activities.

congratulations to all staff and cast of Sleeping Beauty. Each year gets better and better. We will be booking for Beauty and the Beast asap.See you then.

Amateurish box office. Need to learn from others how to sell tickets

Fab night at the theatre but need to find ways of making the queues for the bar move quick during the interval as there isn't time for a drink and a loo visit...

What a great venue for the performing arts in Nottingham. So lucky to have it!

Josie long did just what she said she would: not be a smart arse being mean to people. Several male comedians come to mind
She was a delight. Made me smile for 2 hours straight, punctuated with some snorty laughing.
I like the playhouse too. Great sized venue and a vital organ of Nottingham cultural
A great night out for me and my son

Go to the panto here every year and it never fails to deliver. Fantastic venue that always puts on a well organised event and amazing cast that gets better by the year, finding the perfect balance of pop culture and old school music hall.

Fantastic performance at the panto. Kids loved it. Well done!

Sat in the stalls. Rather narrow between the rows of seats. Sometimes abit difficult to hear the speech. Drinkd,sweets and ice cream are expensive as always. Parking can be an issue as it's on the surrounding streets. Lovely round large mirror outside with water feature.

Amazing venue and the staff here are always willing to go the extra mile and offer assistance.

Great regional theatre producing top class shows. Good bar serving food. On street parking. Friendly helpful staff. Good visibility of stage from all areas.

A great venue. Very large, comfortable seats with good views of the stage. It is fairly large but feels intimate. We saw the opening show of Johnny Ball and found it a really good experience thanks to the venue.

NEEDS an upgrade because i see Playhouse one of the best places i've been

A good experience. We go every year for the panto, always a great show.

Great venue, very helpful staff, brilliant atmosphere for the Panto.

Only downside is it gets incredibly hot near the top !!

Always an enjoyable experience seats are good and sight lines fine. Staff friendly and helpful, offers value for money. Street Parking (meters) outside and multi story close.

Brill night!!! So much good music and dancing. If you haven't seen it, please check out Rush- a joyous Jamaican journey.

Its difficult to rate the theatre rather than the performance. However it is reasonable, seats not to squashed up. It has an expensive bar (same as most theatres)

Visited several times for conferences lovely venue fantastic catering.

Brilliant, lovely atmosphere and so easy to park and walk to. Looking foreward to our next visit.

Lovely theatre with very efficient and helpful staff. The production we saw was amazing!

Brill play and great audience. Fantastic atmosphere.

Slightly limited lunchtime menu but still tasty food. Good wheelchair access and accessible toilet.

8 of us went to watch the Pantomime, really really enjoyed it, will definitely go again..

Excellent production of The Madness of George the III tonight.

Great place, cozy, great acoustics and a great bar.

Really nice food and reasonable price, limited selection of beers though

Fantastic shows here. The 1984 stage show was very impressive and super thought provoking!
