Wolverhampton Grand Theatre Review

Excellent place to go and be entertained in fact going again soon friendly and pleasant self

Last Night Sunday 21st February We went to see The Billy Fury Years what a Fantastic Show Wonderful Memories from the 60s an 70s hope it will come back again in the future kathleen Hudson

Love this place, atmosphere is great.. only downfall is the wait at the bar..

Rock of Ages was wonderful. Clean and friendly and cool for a change as its usually like an oven!

Very cramped seating. Looks great when you walk in but every Where else is out dated. Ok performance (dirty dancing)

First time to a theatre in ages and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Lovely theatre although a shame about the long queues to the toilet.

Beautifully ornate old theatre, recently refurbished hospitality areas and pleasant staff.

It was a great experience as I've never been to the theatre and I enjoyed every minute of the production Aladdin would recommend it for all ages

Great little theatre near to the train station and tram plenty of eating places nearby went to c the pantomime which was excellent x

The show was great, seats are a bit cramped though if you are 6ft plus not the comfiest! But its decent, & lovely inside.

Great show but seats in the wings are serious view issues which are made worse by the pillars. In some seats you cannot even see a quarter of the stage

A Beautifully theatre building that has amazing, high quality performances

Boxing Day family tradition to visit the Grandtheatre to watch a Panto...Sleeping Beauty...the venue is well situated in the
City Centre...close to various transportation...and opposite The Moon Under Water....Inside there are 3 levels with bar and service on each floor...booking office on ground floor...making it easier to collect tickets...ushers are friendly...we visit a couple of times every year..great family venue.x

Always a good time but often long waits at the bar and toilet

Love this theatre. Its central with lots of parking near by. Pubs and restaurants near enough to make a lovely evening. The shows a superb with very reasonable prices.

I really think the theatre need to review having big performances at football match time.
We booked tickets for Macbeth at 730pm on a Saturday and the theatre advertised easy access by car. We arrived near the theatre at 700pm and many streets were closed and many were filled with police, lines of police vans and football supporters walking across the roads. All car parks were full. At 720pm in desperation we called the theatre and asked for advice on where to park. They admitted they didn't know but suggested the shopping centre car park. We went and it was totally full.
Miraculously we managed to get a space at a different car park at 800pm (full hour driving around) and get to theatre at 810pm having obviously missed the first part of the play. The experience (we were two Muslim women) of driving amongst the footbal supporters, some of whom shouted at us and one of whom banged the car, was scary for my daughter and not pleasant at all. Then having to walk past all the pubs etc and bang a number of times ourselves on the theatre door to be let in!
Although I knew the seats were booked out we saw many empty seats presumably people who paid a load of money but couldn't park and get in.
When we came out about 1020pm the street outside was packed with very drunk rowdy football supporters and we and other theatre goers had a scary walk back to the car. It then took 35 mins wait to get out of the car park due to a police incident outside an adjacent nightclub..
The actors and play were superb but the theatre staff were very unprofessional. One kept walking up and down the aisle repeatedly which spoiled things. Three staff in the theatre kept talking to each other. They all had walkie talkies on very loud too. I have never ever been in a theatre where you have staff standing or sitting right next to you (one decided to sit right behind is for some of the time) with loud discussioms and static coming from their receivers .. over the actors of the play??? if it hadn't been horrendous enough getting there this really was an insult to the audience and the performers.
I'd never attempt to attend this theatre again. It would have been quicker and easier and far more pleasant to go to London and back (we had come from Birmingham).

Lovely theatre with car parking not far away. We saw Fame the musical there and that was great. The seats can get a little uncomfortable, but that is want comes with being an old theatre.

Fantastic local live theatre, a historic style theatre with good range of shows and plays.

Fantastic perfomance of Annie to night
Brilliant show kids were amazing
The Grand is a lovley theatre love going there
Well done to everyone concerened

Great venue, wonderful historic buildings. Staff are helpful.

Great theatre been here many times.

Convenient location near public transport and parking.

I will say it's quite odd as on my last visit I had a large pillar right infront of my seat blocking the view...surely it would be better to just not have a seat infront of a large post??? It wasn't mentioned when booking

A beautifull placez to come. mi English isa no God but slowly I understand e so nicey evening

Went today to see Jack & the Beanstalk.
Absolutely fantastic.. loved every minute of the show, actors were awesome. Best way to start our christmas festivities. Thanks to all the stars, & to all who worked on the performance today.

A lovely theatre with a mixed programme of top musicals, plays and pantomime.

A truly amazing place. I'm so proud that it's in my home city of Wolverhampton!

Love the new layout. Friendly, helpful staff. Love to support the grand, always have great shows to suit all tastes.

Fantastic Place and amazingly well kept been here loads of times and more booked up for next year

Beautiful hall
Good service and staff

Outstanding performance of simply the best Tina turmer

We went to watch the girl on the train it was very good, seats are very close and squashed which was the only downfall , if one person moves you can feel it at the other end of the row. But it wouldn't stop me visiting again !

I went to go and see blood brothers and it was amazing the satff the way it was set out was amazing the food was overpriced I think considering that there were alot of people but all and all it was ok and the way they handled when an old man fainted was great I thought and they kept everyone clam thought and the staff were very helpful and happy to help as well

It's my second time thire and when i knew what we were watching i didn't think that i would like it but i loved it. I hope we get to go next year.

We were in the Grand Central seats - not enough leg room. Beautiful theatre and very clean and staff very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and come again. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Des o'connor and Jimmy tarbuck

Really great night out and always great at Christmas

Great night, not what was expected, but a good night!

Fantastic night out parking available (pay and display). Helpful staff

Traditional Theatre with a great atmosphere and friendly staff

Great venue, full of nostalgia and very welcoming staff.

Apart from being treated, by one member of staff, as if we were doing something wrong we had a great evening.

Would have been a higher rating if it were not for the sour taste this experience left us with.

Lovely place nice and cosy just not enough leg room

Beautiful classic theatre, situated in the town, easy parking and access.

This is a beautiful old theatre which I regularly visit. I am a member of Friends of the Grand, enjoying some discount whilst supporting a brilliant institution. They have some great shows and artists so I recommend that everyone should visit.

Four of us went to see I'm sorry I haven't a clue being recorded.

We enjoyed the event,however, when it was first built 120 years ago people were quite a bit shorter than they are today so the seating was adequate, I'm only 5 foot eight but my knees were in constant contact with the back of the seat in front and no matter what I did ,which way I turned , I could not get comfortable.,
In addition at half-time smokers gathered outside by the fire doors allowing copious quantities of smoke to drift into the theatre, that is simply unacceptable and if people want to smoke it should be well away from open doors.
I doubt very much that I will be going again,a great shame as its a great location and clearly a lot of hard work and expense have been put into its renovation

A beautiful theatre and very conveniently situated to the train station.

a good night out if you like that sort entertainment

Lovely comfortable theatre with a number of bars and cafes. Good size stage and excellent sound quality.

It's an excellent theatre, great performances and polite staff!

Beautiful theatre. Lovely staff. Outrageous drinks prices.

Dirty Dancing was amazing. Would definitely recommend!

Went to see sensational 60's experience tonight 28th Jan....the show was great and staff as helpful as ever but not impressed with the new layout so crowded no where to go but to your seat, you used to be able to mingle in the foyer meet friends and chat before a show, change is not always good!!
