Theatre Royal Newcastle Reviews

Absolutely fantastic - thank you for a wonderful evening

This old building provides a good atmosphere for most plays.

Watched daughter perform in studio to a select, invited audience along with her fellow Project A students...intriguing stuff..

Another amazing afternoon at theatre royal watching the panto

Certain shows have no gallery seats, limiting the possibilities, for those on a smallerbudget, and they are no longer offering last minute stand by seats, a bad show!!!

The theatre
a is amazing

Beautiful theatre and always excellent friendly service.

Saw Le Mis and I couldn't praise actors, production and theater staff helpfulness highly enough.

Great venue, friendly staff and brilliant production. The accessible toilet was too small to be wheelchair accessible but a member of staff said they would relay this information to a superior. I hope the facilities are improved and doors are widened because that is the only downside to a wonderful theatre.

Beautiful place. Toilets were a bit confusing, and shut at the end of the performance, but a lovely building, and great show xxx

Took my daughter to see The Wizard of Oz and she fell in love with the whole experience. She's 5 year old and was impressed firstly with the building and decor then blown away by the production. It's a beautiful venue and we can't wait to go again

The architecture here is stunning, and I love the layout. It's ideally situated in the town centre, so it's just a hop on and off a Metro or bus. Great range of shows. Always love visiting this venue.

Some of the most uncomfortable seating I have experienced in a theatre but apart from that it's good.

Guaranteed to provide excellent shows. Venue fantastic. Seats not always the most comfortable.

Very good venue hosting various activities for all ages and groups

My daughter's first theatre experience
Loved it.

And old but lovley theatre that puts on lots of great shows. A decent selection of drinks and snacks (although the sweet stand didn't take card), clean toilets and relatively comfy seats. I've never sat in the box, but I saw those that did had to lean over to see everything happening on stage. I really enjoyed my visit here though, definitely would go again

Friendly staff really enjoyed the short I went to see parking a bit of a nightmare however public transport is good in this area

Great seats, great show, lovely staff, can't wait to go back

A beautiful and Grand theatre, I've always loved going to the pantomime here.

Jersey Boys, another great show at an amazing Theatre , staff pleasant and helpful as always.

Love their pantomimes. They are hilarious. Clive & Danny spark off each other really well and they are supported by a great Dame as well as the stooge

Fantastic show Saturday night fever and staff are always brilliant x

Fantastic night. Superb old theatre, immaculately maintained and the best Les Miserable I've ever seen. Memorable night.

Fantastic night at the Panto. Laughed all the way through it

The seats are so uncomfortable. It spoilt my experience of a brilliant show as I was in pain due to the seats.

Beautiful theatre gets amazing shows makes our train journey worth every penny. Comfortable, friendly, courtesy of staff fab. Thank you Theatre Royal.

Brilliant. Pleasant staff and comfortable surroundings. Just seen Gangster Granny with grandchildren. Amazing!!

This is an amazing building full of history (and it's share of ghosts so they say). Having watched my brother perform here many years ago, it holds special memories for me. The domed roof and walls are stunning with its gold and deep red decor. I recently watched The Jersey Boys here, and enjoyed it so much that I went straight back into the box office after the show finished and booked up again to watch it the next week! So much history here but please remember that it is a very old building and so hasn't got the disabled facilities of newer buildings. I did once watch a show from up in The Gods and hobbled up the many narrow stairs on crutches, but wouldn't recommend doing that. Definitely a lovely place to go for the history or a family day out or evening with friends. You can pre order drinks for the interval too as its much easier than fighting your way to the bar.

Theatre Royal is an experience. The grand interior and good selection of shows makes up for the very expensive tickets.

Never laughed so much in my live fantastic peter pan

Beautiful, elegant theatre. The show I saw today was fantastic as have all the shows I have seen there in the past.

Fabulous pantomime once again can't wait for next year

It is a great experience they get the audience involved a lot and ondly with there permision.

Disappointed at the panto beauty and the beast this year. Was more the Danny Adams show than a panto and I really missed not having the spectacular stunt riders or acrobats of previous years. Although ticket prices did not reflect the obvious savings they must have made by not having to pay for those guest acts ....

Beautiful building...orchestra sounded amazing..such a stunning building

Very stiff staircase towards the gallery, uncomfortable seats as well but very kind and helpful staff.

The Theatre Royal is a great place to go if you would like to see live action shows and pantomimes. They have child friendly shows and shows for older and more mature audiences. With 15 minute intervals it's great to be able to stretch your legs and get some sweets or even a tub of ice cream. It is a great place to go with your family or friends, you may even enjoy going on your own, definitely worth going and/or going again.

The building it's self is very old but is still a stable structure and great for taking photos outside with its old fashioned pillars and its triangular roof above the pillars.

If you have never been and see a show you would enjoy, I advise you to go and see it, it is amazing!!!

Its a great, comfortable place. With really good atmosphere.

Fantastic show Annie ...Anita Dobson brilliant as Miss Hannigan

Absolutely loved our visit today. Hairspray, what a performance, what a production, what a show! Loved it all! X,

Great all round experience . Staff go out of their way to help. Only complaint is the position of the ladies toilet and access to them

Beautiful building in a beautiful city. Access is easy although parking can be dreadful. The shows are good and pantomime is excellent. Bar is stocked adequately and manned sufficiently during intervals etc. The prices can be high as expected but worth it. Having used the venue a multitude of times over the year I can say we will be back soon. Beware that the street parking areas can be unclear and the cities taxis chronic driving makes access unbearable at times. It won't spoil your night however.

Lovely theatre. Get free metro travel with theatre ticket too.

Beautiful theatre! Lovely inside and out. Really impressed by the accessibility options as well.

Fabulous theatre Reasonable priced drinks Went to see The Full Monty Wonderful show

Fantastic show, so bright colourful, hilarious, majic, great variety of acts, Great all round family entertainment, Familiar characters Danny Adams & Family Characters can't wait for summer show...
