Theatre Royal Newcastle Reviews

Lovely theatre with a friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go back again

Watched Beauty and the beast. Great night filled with laughter from start to finish

Fantastic place! Went to see Macbeth and thought staff were great. Only thing is that they had ran out of programs but not much of a big deal. Overall great.

Super show Anita Dobson was brilliant how agile is she? Annie was amazing as were all the children and the rest of the cast.

The best place to catch a show in central Newcastle.

Wonderful historic theatre, always enjoy my visits here.

Had a great time, great show, Danny Adam's and the crew were awesome

A absolutely gorgeous theater to go to if you are visiting from out of the area I definitely would try to catch a show. Once inside there is a cafe and a bar ice-cream and other sundries are there to buy usually during break in the show. I have visited many times over the years and I always leave satisfied and looking forward to the next show.

Beautiful theatre. Seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room compared to some theatres. Very expensive at the bar.

Very friendly staff directing and helping people to the seats. Beautiful theatre and thrilling atmosphere. A wonderful experience seeing Matthew Bourne's Romeo and Juliet.

Lovely venue it's been a while since I was last there but nice to return remind me what it's like

Brilliant show tonight. Theatre Royal delivers once again.

Went to see Mary popping a while back production absolutely amazing. Seats are a little cramped though

Fabulous theatre, staff very polite, friendly and helpful.

Lovely theatre. Over the years I've sat from the very front of the stage to seats on the most upper levels. Never had a bad experience.

Would love to book a ticket but can't even get onto the website! Have queued 3 times for over 20 minutes. System tells me I am next then kicks me out! Poor!

A brilliant show (We Will Rock You) in an iconic venue. My daughter and I had great seats on row D which gave us an excellent view of the stage.

A stunningly beautiful theater and superbly looked after. If you are in the upper circle or gods you'll have lots of stairs to climb unfortunately but other than that an amazing theatre. Les Miserables was awesome when we saw it.

Lovely theatre. Spoilt by selling ice cream from Mansfield and not local ice cream suppliers.

Greatest show on earth .in the greatest city in the world.

Beauty and the beast was fantastic I never stopped laughing.

Seats are very uncomfortable. Note I have only sat in the Grand circle. Too many low brow shows for my liking and any decent watch is priced really poorly. Should have far better wine selection than it does.

Brilliant reworking of this Agatha Christie thriller. Some difficulty hearing words in early stages but generally well executed. Interesting set. Not sure what the ' scene-shifting' achieved.

Great place
Great shows
Refreshments are majorly over priced though

Super show, shame about the 40 minute delay in the middle.

It's a great theatre. I've seen a variety of shows here and never been disappointed. The staff are so friendly and helpful. A wide variety of drinks available. Whatever show takes your fancy you will find it here.

A lovely theatre ,one I visit often only downside they have the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in .

Had a great time watching Spirit of the Dance. The Theatre Royal is a fantastic place to watch any performances, be it a play, musical or pantomime.

Went to see Mama Mia last night, great show, up dancing & singing at the end. However I was rather confused as to why the character Bill was introduced as Bill Austin and not Bill Anderson as was his name in the film. Was this a mistake or have they changed his name for some reason.

Seats so uncomfortable. Clean and tidy, welcoming. Bars with hot drinks too.

A beautiful theatre unfortunately the views can leave alot to be desired especially when compared to the likes of the Sage. Always has an excellent selection of shows on however.

Brilliant theatre, really designed and run with the audience in mind.

Great atmosphere in this classical but we'll restored theatre

Tied as my favourite theatre with the Sunderland Empire - but got to see and meet Gandalf there. Whoop whoop!

Amazing place! Such a beautiful building, not only on the outside but also indside. Absolutely loved it!

I just love this theatre! Went to see Henning Wehn...very funny man! The theatre is beautiful, comfy seats, good view of the stage from Row N stalls and good ticket price too. Bit nippy for some reason, defo wear a jumper or take a wrap/cardy :) Bars on 2 floors, good service and you can order interval drinks. Sweets and ice cream also sold. Lovely stewards and staff, most enjoyable evening!

Has a very old school feel to it. Acoustics are great, and good views from pretty much every seat.

It's right in the town centre. Has a great range of shows something for everyone.

Amazing time watching the panto, hilarious and they get better every year

Opera North were spectacular in this wonderful theatre

Mama Mia was excellent. All the actors were amazing. I could sit and watch it again.

Arrive early as parking was quite difficult for us (although this could have been because we were there on a Friday night).... we've been several times before But this was the first time we have sat on the very top floor and I would avoid it whenever possible as it felt like the seats were tilting forwards. It's a beautiful building but I prefer other local theatres as the seats here feel more cramped together. We watched the comedy about a bank robbery and the show itself was great. Bring snacks as their prices are ridiculous....take note that bags are checked on entry!

Firstly, we have been to the Theatre Royal on many occasions and had fantastic times and the Motown show was magnificent. But not the theatre's greatest evening. I was seated next to a disabled lady and we had to get up from our seats 11 times in one hour to allow people passage to the toilets, as the theatre allowed copious amounts of alcohol to be brought from the bar into the auditorium. Totally ruined the show for many of us that night. Please review this policy Theatre Royal.

Fantastic show. Gorgeous theatre. Staff couldn't be more helpful.

Excellent theatre and good seats with good leg room..

Benidorm Live. ... amazing. .side splitting fantastic to see so many of the TV cast too

Peter pan panto was amazing .Danny Adams literally throws himself into everything he does ..so funny fit n fantastic ..its his 13th panto at theatre royal n we've seen every one of them .grandaughter loves going .yearly treat xxx xxxxx well done xxxxxxxx

Only problem was that my seat tilted forward which meant I felt as though I was sliding off. Apart from that the pantomime was 5* as always

My good lady and I took our grandson to see La Boheme by Opera North and the performance was absolutely wonderful, especially Mimi played by Katie Bird. The negative side of our experience was the fact that people are allowed to take drinks into the auditorium and the couple next to us brought a LOT of drinks back after the interval. I know it costs a lot of money to run this theatre and the drinks all add to the revenue, but some thought must be put into how to avoid a situation where some members of the audience end up quite inebriated and spoil the experience for others.

Very enjoyable and despite being in the amphitheatre it felt like we were on the stage!
