We went for a pint, pie and a play or get it while it's hot. Great price for an interesting evening out. Pot luck with the play but good to support up and coming talent. P.S. go for the extra chips, peas and gravy with the pie.
12 noon very busy children's performance. Small amount of snacks at bar. (Not child appropriate) those in the know brought their own. No extra facilities for children in the toilet i.e. steps, potty, seats. Good points. Toilets well situated in the large foyer bar area. Could be improved.
Came to watch little red riding hood performing in the studio. Kids really enjoyed the performance, however the seating was not great. Adults were sitting anywhere they wanted and some children were struggling to see.
Facilities wise everything was really clean and tidy.
It's easy to overlook this theatre amongst the other live-performance venues in Cardiff. Indeed, we have been to most of the others, and have recently discovered that we have been missing out.
Also, I ordered a bottle of wine while we chose our food, only to discover the wine would have been much cheaper with the food. This presented no problem, as I was credited with the difference in price when I ordered the food. Proper customer service.
The theatre itself is lovely, and the performance of a dual-language (Welsh and English) play was greatly enhanced by the Welsh and English surtitles. The standard of my Welsh meant my head was whipping hither and thither (watch the play/read Welsh surtitle/read English surtitle) as I watched the play.
Post-performance it was nice to see the performers in the bar, which only happens at smaller venues.
Don't miss out.
I am and always will be a 'huge fan' of the Sherman Theatre. They go above and beyond being inclusive, creating access and opportunities for all. Fantastic shows for all ages, we took the whole family to see Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland and really, really enjoyed both shows. If you're looking for a personal experience with theatre then get a ticket to one of the shows here - you really won't be disappointed....
High standard local theatre with a nice Cafe and small restaurant. Nice atmosphere.
Went to see the Snow Queen Dec 19(sort of got it)and was a good production. First visit to Sherman, great
auditorium.
Beautiful and modern theatre. The seating is brilliant as everyone can see. We recently saw Tiddlers Tales with my young daughter who absolutely loved the whole experience and wasn't frightened of the pull down seats as they didn't fold back up on her.
Went to a comedy night here. Bit quiet, but the comedians and venue were really good. It's obviously been recently renovated and the bar area is nice
