Reviews of Key Theatre

P. E.

Went to see Cinderella today with my daughter in law and granddaughter and we loved it, great singing, beautiful customers and to top it off lots and lots of laughs. Buttons stole the show he was brilliant and so entertaining. Thank you Key Theatre for the great well needed escape from reality of what's going on in the world right now. I hope Peterborough Council come to their senses and keep you open. Xx Looking forward to seeing you all again soon xx

J. F.

Took our 3 Granddaughters to watch Cinderella today and were informed that the council are closing the theatre down. It's a tragedy if this goes ahead, the panto is a major event at Xmas time and is a huge hit. The actors are all lovely and pull off a very professional show every time. The theatre staff are all very friendly and attentive. The council will be letting everyone down should the closure go ahead.

j.

The Key Theatre was well laid out, smart, clean and a good size. It had clean, spacious toilets and was wheelchair friendly with a lift to get up to the seating area. The production of Cinderella was funny and entertaining. The cast and all those involved in setting up and running the show did a fantastic job. I have signed the council petition to save Key Theatre and hope anyone who reads this will also go to the council website and sign the e petition.

A. P.

A great Small to medium theatre 🎭 makes for a fabulous live show experience 🙂🎭

m. m.

Great parking with realistic pricing within two minutes of venue, well organised, clean with comfortable seating and no matter where you sit a great view of the stage. Only downside is the queues for toilets at the interval, more Loos needed.

J. J.

Went to see the snow queen ballet, was amazing! so glad it didn't close down as we wouldn't be able to see these amazing productions right on our door step

G. W.

Went to see an adult pantomime there. Hilarious!!! The key is a great theatre, great bar and staff. Very modern inside and comfortable. Well worth a visit

G. B.

Cinderella at the Key Theatre was great. I love this theatre, easy parking and it is just the right size. It'll be a crime if this place gets closed.

C. B.

Lovely theatre and great staff, just a couple of improvements, more toilets needed and a disabled one upstairs would be great, The queue started downstairs at the toilets and was right back upstairs in the theatre.

L. M.

Took my daughter to watch Adams Family 2. Everything was much cheaper than the Showcase. Obviously the seats not as comfyvas the Showcase but still good enough for a 1.5 hr movie. Great value and friendly staff.

T. D.

Great venue for theater, nice restaurant attached and a good range of performances. Best thing is KYT attached to it for children. I hope it survives...

V. M.

Small and tight, but lovely little theatre for size, would definitely go again, they need to have cafe open though when they have events on, got their early to eat, even the website said was open and I even called days before to ask only to find when we got their it was closed.

M. B.

The staff were very helpful. The theatre was lovely and very clean. Really enjoyed Nene Park Academy's production. Well done Nene Park.

S. M.

Brilliant show, we go every year with the whole family for the panto! Lovely food in the restaurant too 👌

D. T.

Fantastic production of Cinderella as always. Shame Peterborough Council are going to shut it due to their mismanagement.

r. h.

Lovely show Buddy Holly we always love their shows had good seats could see everything we like the key seats good have been going for years

D. J.

Had a great night here, went to see Lorraine Silver, she was backed by The Signatures, who was fronted by Stefan Taylor and joined by Georgia who had a full on voice. Really enjoyed the show, venue is very clean and tidy, which was the Key Theatre on the river bank, Peterborough.

J. H.

Went to the pictures11oclock showing £4. 00. Film cuppa an biscuits in cluded what's not to like so all ok

K. E.

Nice venue which is a decent size for medium size shows. Very clean and modern and the staff were very helpful, particularly as we had issues with our tickets (not the venue's fault).

P. M.

lets remember joe longthornes last concert date 25 july 2019 over a week later he passed away age 64 r.i.p a one off performer and a great talent

Y. W.

Absolutely loved Buddy Holly and the Cricketers and the whole experience was amazing.

d. a. m.

Had a wonderful time at key panto was great even though covid at got at the cast they made it a lovely show well done laughs si much please keep the theatre open hot such good memories

R. B.

Great theatre with a good range of shows. About to be closed by the Council. A real shame as this theatre is an asset to Peterborough & the surrounding communities.

C.

Brilliant theatre easy to get to and lots of great shows on great location by the river with inside dining too

L. V.

Excellent theatre. Went to see Bond film with a cup of tea and a biscuit for £5. Then light lunch in restaurant.

M. C.

Always a decent experience at the key. Ticket prices reasonable and drinks are reasonable too. However, be prepared for the new parking payment system in the car park. No cash just app or card payment. Paying by card was a tad hit and miss because the system was charging people different prices. I downloaded the app which was quite straightforward.

T. S.

Fantastic theatre, first time we'd ever been, such a shame the council's closing it down 😔

D. M.

Daughter does dance n other activities there . She been going g for a good few years now so needless to say she enjoys going , especially KYT .

K. G.

As young man I visited this theatre to see a comedy act, the seating was brilliant and the act was hilarious. My next visit will be in September to see " Letz Zep. I am a heavy Rock fan and can't wait for the show. (Ticket already purchased). As I am a partially disabled person I have booked a seat in the Auditorium second row to front, the staff are very kind and are helping me in all my requirements.

h. C.

Always the best panto at the best theatre in pbro.... keeping my fingers crossed the council don't manage to close it down😔

A. A.

Brilliant time had by all. Friendly atmosphere and manged to get in to the theatre, with little fuss.

S. G.

Went to see Chicago by KYT - brilliant show! Theatre staff were friendly and helpful and the new queueing arrangement at the bar (presumably put in place for Covid) was a great improvement.

M. H.

Great view from every seat Totally Tina was amazing! Really good show.

D.

Small, centrally located theatre with adjacent pay and display car park. Features many interesting comedy and musical shows. Nice restaurant and bar serving delicious onion rings. On banks of River Nene which can be a pleasant walk if you step carefully around the swan droppings.

T. M.

Go and see Cinderella, fantastic show, great cast and lots of laughs. Go and see it. “OH YES YOU SHOULD….”

R. E.

Visited this theatre several times, once to see James Acaster, and the other to see a Creedence band. Both visits I had a good time, parking was easy and reasonable, the shows were great, no complaints at all :)

L. w.

Very well organized venue, with a great team... will definitely visit again

G. J.

Just been to see 'Oliver', really good theatre with ample parking and much more comfortable seats than the Cresset.

S. M.

Lovely relaxed intimate theatre, well worth a visit, especially for musical performances

M. R.

Brilliant pantomime, the adults in our group were laughing as much as our 3&5 year old children.

L. H.

Love a family film at The Key. All covid secure and very safe. Could do with a few more loos as the queue at the end of the film was out the door into the concourse. However still a great experience.

S. H.

Is my favourite venue for acts in Peterborough . Well organised and always parking available nearby

k. S.

My grandson and I enjoyed the Hungry Caterpillar show...his first experience of theatre .

A. H.

Superb theatre. The staff are helpful. The facilities are excellent.

S. M.

I love this theatre . There is not a bad seat. The staff are pleasant and hopeful

G. D.

Very helpful staff, entertainment for all ages and a fantastic youth theatre group

J. A.

Came to see Beauty and the Beast bravo it was really good. Vivacity staff were fab and really helpful. Truly a wonderful evening out!

H. M.

Great!! Went to see Lady in a van which was superb!! The cast were amazing. The theatre was brilliant as usual. Will keep coming back!!

D. S.

Super theatre, not too large, seats arranged quite steep so everyone has a clear view of the stage. Nice bar lounge area for pre-show drinks and snacks. Plenty of car parking next to the theatre, whilst it's not free parking the charge is only £2 for the whole evening. We've visited several times and it's always an enjoyable experience.

D. P.

Brilliant place .safe our theatre

A. B.

Great venue for fringe theatre productions and touring acts. Look forward to panto. Very easy to book tickets. Helpful staff and clean building. Fairly intimate theatre that hosts great shows. Easy to reach as a short walk from City Centre. Good riverside location. Just be mindful at busy times as car park gets chaotic and as it's Peterborough cars get priority over safe pedestrian access. Vivacity manage the Key Theatre not local infrastructure!!! Maybe one day the Council will get its 'act' together regarding good signage and City Centre planning to enhance visits to places including the theatre.

D. M.

Good theatre and food , polite staff.

s. p.

Amazing show please don't close

J. D.

Fantastic Panto Well worth a visit Even the Grandkids enjoyed it

M. B.

Fireman sam, grandson loved it. Theatre very good, first time been.

J. A.

Excellent venue. Great view from every seat. Best panto around. Loved it!

d. d.

We went to watch a film rather than a live performance. The theatre is not huge but has nice areas and a bar. Seating is comfortable and the view to the stage is good thanks to the tiered seating.

S. T.

Great little venue for all the family.

E. H.

The Key Theatre is a great place to go the staff are friendly and always ready to help. Although I have only eaten there once my mine and my wife's food was very good and I know the Chef pays a lot of attention to what he buys and where it comes from. The theatre is comfortable and gets some good acts so please support it when ever you can.

B. C.

Contemporary styled theatre. Decent acoustics. Two bars onsite. Doesn't host top performers, but an adequate selection. Also shows films at a cheap price during the day. Seating is basic and a little cramped, but I've seen worse. Carpark is pay and display, currently only £2 from 5pm-7am, which covers most evening shows.

S. C.

Staff were very welcoming, show was really funny, fantastic 1st trip back to the theatre!!

M. L.

I always enjoy going to the Key Theatre. It's small enough to be close to the action. Tonight's show was hi-octane and it was great to be able to see the cast and costumes etc up close. The vegan restaurant wasn't open but the bar was, and the interval ice cream was tasty and reasonably priced.

Z. F.

Great seating which made me feel at ease. The seats could accommodate my chubby bum and I could see all the seats had good views and remained personal. The bar could have been a bit quicker but it was to be expected during an interval.

i. c.

Good space, not much social distancing and mask wearing

A. G.

Really nice theatre with a great atmosphere and clear views of the stage. There is a cafe/restaurant and a bar which makes for a good night out. There is a pay & display car park next to the theatre . I will certainly watch out for future events and look forward to going there again. Great place !!!

a. b.

Small but welcoming provincial theatre. Good view from all seats and good acoustics. Well stocked and reasonably priced bar for pre-show and interval drinks. A few big comedy names appear now and then but groups tend to be trubute acts or solo artists that are either up and coming or in their swansong years. Easy parking outside. About 1 mile walk from train or bus station.

L. B.

I took the grandchildren to see Peter Pan today.. it was absolutely brilliant! The audience ranged from the elderly down to toddlers & everyone loved it. We saw Sleeping Beauty last year & will definitely be going back next year for Beauty & The Beast. It's fast becoming a family tradition.. i thoroughly recommend it

m. m.

Really nice venue not too big or intimidating. I believe there are actually two performance halls. Studio and theatre both of them have reall good feel about them. Been for couple shows here the studio I seen stand up and it was great you are literally part of the thing. The theatre is slightly larger and again fit for purpose. All depends on the shows I believe. There is restaurant Caffè downstairs and bar upstairs. So plenty to get you sorted if you prefer everything in one place. I haven't tried the restaurant so can't comment. The only thing that surprised me was that cloak room was not working in February, bit odd (maybe there is no demand). I did asked the staff and they accommodate for me which is great but it seems to be happy go lucky system. Anyway would recommend visit but do chose and consider what are going to watch, enjoy.

C. S.

Really nice selection of shows / plays. Nice room, although not so big. Went to see a children's show adapted from a children's book and got given a leaflet at the end to advise about similar shows they have on this year. That was really good as I don't always have time to browse the internet for shows.

d. t.

Cliff still has the moves really enjoyed it

M. D.

Well organised, friendly theatre. Fantastic eaterie, The Chalk Board, on site. Good value, quality theatre.

J. D.

It's a good venue, though at one point we did get some machine noise coming into the theatre from somewhere that sounded like machinery/power tools. The staff supported our needs well and made it a good space to host and film an event.

J. W.

We went to see Peter Pan, the show itself was fantastic!! Loved it & will go again. Only things that let it down are contacting the box office & collecting our tickets. No-one seems to answer the phone, I was ringing for hours, in the end I left a voicemail & someone eventually got back to me. Went to collect my tickets on the day, I'd paid over the phone, but the lady said she couldn't find my booking... eventually I got it sorted - but it wasn't a good first impression. Once you're in, the shows are good at least!!

S. E.

The staff are fantastic the theatre is intimate sound system excellent. The cinema and silver screenings are excellent and gigs concerts are also very good a few more performers would do well here rather than the cressett IMHO which is a cramped fridge of a venue

V. W.

Small, intimate theatre with studio theatre attached. Been recently decorated - nicely presented. Good location on river bank with good views from upstairs bar. At present, it has lots of tribute or comedy acts but not as much drama as you would expect. What is scheduled is usually one night only (not always convenient), three at most on occasions in the main theatre. It has started presenting lots of live feeds of theatre, opera and dance from London and further afield. Definite steps are being taken to bring in bigger audiences with wider interests; now the theatre needs support. Prices are good with a lot of tickets not much more than the cinema. There is a large car park just across the road with a set, inexpensive evening rate.

A. C.

Fantastic place to be no matter what age

P. R.

Treated my sister to watch Swan Lake - her first ever ballet at the young age of 62. Lovely place but be careful where you sit. We were near the front on the far right and we missed a bit of the show

A. D.

This really is how a theatre should be. I'd never been before, but booked my next show as soon as I got home. Every seat has a good view of the stage and is quite comfortably spaced. We're regulars to the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, but will look here first in future.

R. B.

Such a great family event going to see Sleeping Beauty at the Key Theatre. The fantastic welcome and attention given by all the Vivacity Staff to ensure that our family evening was magical could not be surpassed. The Pantomime was as always entertaining, funny and made both adults and children laugh out loud. Brilliant.

S.

Myself and young grandson's really enjoyed Peter Pan, at the key theatre. Funny. Audience involvement, very good singing, dancing, colourful well maintained costumes. A nice couple of hours spent.

B. B. (.

Beautiful frontage. Lovely restaurant. Great staff. Comfortable seating. Nice prices. Good bar. Easy to get to. Plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessible. Overall, I would highly recommend this to my friends and family.

s. w. (.

We went to see Peter Pan with our kids and what a beautiful and brilliant performance it was. It's been an overwhelming experience for all of us. The only down things was that the music in particular were a notch too loud as girls were covered ears for half of the show. Apart from that we will definitely be back!

M. T.

We went to a performance in the studio theatre and had a meal in the restaurant beforehand. The building is very multifunctional and well thought through, the quality overall very good even though an AmDram production. The food was good but here and in the interval bar the willing and cheerful staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and struggled time wise. Would definitely come here again if suitable production was on as we passed through the city. We were actually moored about 200m from the theatre which made our journey home afterwards very quick!

M. K.

Went there to see a movie. Located at good location, close to the centre of Peterborough. Tiered seats for better view, but small and really uncomfortable. Reasonable prices for tickets, drinks and popcorn.

J. P.

Great little venue for a comedy gig.

N. S.

Modern theatre and restaurant overlooking River Nene and quite easy to find. Plenty of parking spaces including Blue Badge. Only£2 for evening. Large restaurant on ground floor and bar on first floor. Lift and stairs available. Very good staff.

N. B.

We went to see Peter Pan at Christmas with the family and it was Amazing .Really well done and such a great performance. My little boy make my heart glow looking at him as he was amazed by it all ! Thank you Key Theater .

T. E.

A good venue, has a lot of activities on during the day and shows at night. The restaurant is really nice, a good place to eat out of the town centre if you want to sit down for a few hours and relax with friends / family.

J. H.

Been here for the last couple of years to see the pantomimes. Love the size of the theatre doesn't matter where you sit there's a good view. Loved both pantomimes will be going again next year!

J. T.

This is a lovely theatre to go to. Although the show we saw last night wasn't the best I'd seen, the theatre was clean and staff extremely friendly, polite and very helpful. Would highly recommend a visit.

C. C.

Best theatre I've been to. Perfect size with cosy feel. What more there are good views from all seats. If you have sensitive hearing avoid end seats at front near speakers. Pre-order drinks to save time during intermission.

S. E.

A pleasant venue with a variety of shows available. We attended the annual ‘Pantomime’, the humour was not generally appreciated by our mixed age party but it was probably typical of a budget rated panto. We will return but maybe avoid the Pantomime.

K. R.

Small, compact, comfortable theatre. Polite staff, manageable bar. Gents is a couple of stalls light at peak times. Good diversity of entertainment, hopefully not subsidised by local taxpayers.

M. R.

The key theatre is a great little venue in a really nice location and puts on some excellent shows. The website is diabolically clunky and you have to give your inside leg measurement to sign on to book a ticket and then it is hit and miss whether it actually does so. Best to phone, and then phone again, and then phone again and you might get through and actually book some seats! End of whinge. I do like it a lot but my goodness their tech folk and phone answering are rubbish.

D. H.

The Key puts on some great plays, shows and film. I saw Little Women had cup of tea and biscuits for £3 as I'm a member. £4 if not. Shame about the unfriendly staff at reception though. Maybe they were having a bad day.

L. W.

A lovely theatre. I really enjoy coming here. For certain performances I think the prices are a bit steep but that would be my only complaint. Nice bar area & the cafe that doubles as a restaurant at night is a nice touch.

V. E. A. R.

Lovely beer nice staff

T. E.

I love this venue. Its where we live and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Great seating and not too expensive. You need to try the ice creams! They are divine!

S. W. S.

We have been to several children's film screenings here. They are excellent value, up to date films and well organised. Great use of the space when it is free and much cheaper than the cinema.

J. S.

Love going to the Key Theatre. Staff really nice

w. z.

The show was great but my only criticism was the sound. I dont know if its because they have outdated microphones and speakers or if the sound technicians messed up a little bit but it was far too loud to the point where i didnt understand what the actors were saying. Its such a shame as im not the only one who thought this. The actors did a fantastic job though.

S. B.

Love the key. Nice layout for virus felt totally safe. Love the silver screen events. Shows are brilliant and staff wonderful

I. E.

Excellent venue for our TEDx talk :)

M. N.

A fab theatre I love visiting..my daughter ballet was great x

S. S.

Took the grandchildren age 9 and 5 to see Peter Pan for my 65th birthday. We all throughly enjoyed it . The children with all the shouting and us watching the grand children. A great night out. Many thanks for the singing of happy birthday. We cannot wait for next year.

P. B.

Family showing of a latest movie, which was really good. The only negative thing, is the toilets are downstairs for both adults and children along with the ♿! Thankfully, there are seats allocated for those with a disability at the top of the auditorium.

D. C.

Went to see All or Nothing an excellent show about the Small Faces. Lucky enough to meet the writer Carol Harrison. A really good venue with something to suit everyone. I would recommend it to anyone for a good evening out.

H. 4.

Didn't actually visit here for the theatre, we went for Resist vegan kitchen. The food was absolutely amazing. And would highly recommend. See photos. Vegan buffalo chicken wings and loaded fries with vegan donner meat.

c. k.

Very welcoming, staff smiling and helpful. Inly begative is seating, not enough leg room so can become uncomfortable especially the elderly with bad knees! But will visit again

J. P.

Just been to see Vicar of Dibly, absolutely brilliant, realy good evening. One small thing think key theatre missing a trick, as we had to go upstairs for ice cream, would of been good to have a ice cream lady come into the theatre. Think you would of sold more. Anyhow fab evening, well done all off you.

s. k.

Brilliant night tonight. Look forward to the next one

C. F. M.

Fantastic kids loved it , services was amazing too

T. “. T. F.

Wonderful, intimate theatre. Great rake to seating do stage is clear from every seat. Bar is really nice and chilled. Drinks are reasonable.

J. M.

Easy parking and access although the main theatre is stepped raking. Bar can be slow, pre-order interval drinks. The stage always seems close.

C. R.

V good. Easy access for everyone. A lift available to 1st floor for anyone who has any sort of disability. Disabled toilet available! Own car park. Price after 5pm up to 7am £2. Disabled parking bays! Great place to see any show! Automatic doors! Box office and toilets all on ground floor! Bar for drinks sweets, pop corn, coffee and alcohol! Resturant open b4 show but closed after you come out which was ashame! They lost business but being closed only at 8.30pm. But may not of got enough customers to make it worth their while! To help them out if you pick your rubbish up and take it with you there is always someone standing at the door of the theatre entrance as you go out with a large plastic bag! (Upsrairs). Staff great help!

T. C.

Good range of performances great venue with two stages and a lively scene, there's a reasonably priced bar and a pretty good turnout most nights. The once a month comedy rotating night is particularly of note.

A. C.

Nice little theatre, we were in one of the small stages. Really close to the performance, enjoyed the play too! If theatre is your bag, then I can recommend this place!

M. C.

Small, cosy theatre with low stage. Friendly staff. Sizeable car park nearby. Interval Ice creams expensive as they seem to be in all such establishments.

L. G.

Went to see Riverdance 25th anniversary show Enjoyed the film. However it loses stars for the seating . It was shown downstairs, not impressed at all So uncomfortable .

C. D.

A fun time for family and children. Lots of groups in the audience for Sleeping Beauty at 4.00pm on Dec 29th. We took our five year old grandson on his first panto visit. He loved it joining in with the singing clapping hissing and waving his flashing sword at the witch. A local effort largely comfortable seating lots of leg room and easily viewable from our seats in row D. The witch and the king deserve special mentions a talented pair in terms of singing and acting and the witch a great school player. The three fairies were amusing and also multi talented. When WC stripped off to sing a rock no in a tight sequinned dress it brought the house down. Well done Key Theatre very entertaining!

C. S.

I have never been let down by the fantastic service you get there. The members of staff are all so attentive

C. D.

Went to a cinema screening of the war horse... fantastic social distancing and felt very comfortable with others also keeping space and plenty of hand sanitiser everywhere

J. B.

I have had many happy hours at the Key Theatre .loved the Pantomimes , and the Dramas So much enjoyed a the Buddy Hollly Show. if I could go again, it would plesse me so much. I am sad to say that I am not well enough to attend now. Than you so much for giving me some wonderful memorise.

B. B.

Lovely setting overlooking the river had a great night in the downstairs restaurant called the chalkboard, fantastic atmosphere, we saw a brilliant drag artist and the food was really nice...would 100% recommend this place ....thank you chalkboard.

A. P.

A favourite venue where every seat has a good view. Drink prices reasonable. Ticket office staff very welcoming. Bar staff can be busy.

S. L.

Quaint intimate theatre. Good views from seats all around. Bar service good, also restaurant inside so. Lots of female toilets. Lifts to Upper floors

G. H.

Lots of parking! Plenty of good shows to suit all ages and tastes. Excellent stepped seats good vision of stage anywhere in theatre.

A. F.

The Key is one of Peterborough's top attractions hosting a wide range of shows all year round. There's a fine restaurant and bar to complement a great auditorium. Always a pleasure to visit.

B. w.

Great little venue that gets some great acts, a comfortable lounge with a well stocked bar is another bonus and plenty of parking and nice views across the river.

S. P.

Always a perfect view in this small, friendly theatre. Nice bar area too, and the staff work very hard to cope with the half time rush.

C. D.

Appreciated the care taken to keep us safe and the complimentary refreshments was most welcome.

G. B.

Peter Pan - the Pantomime. Fabulous production with nice local touches to the script. Amazing work by all taking part, especially the multitasking of playing instruments. The only downside was the unnecessary flashing plastic tat which is not simply un-eco friendly but also very off putting when you are trying to enjoy the performance.

D. L.

Great small venue recently expanded and refreshed. A good bar and great shows usually reasonably priced. Parking is cheap and right outside. Eat at the local charters or East restaurant for a complete evening.

C. D.

Really comfortable friendly staff theatre.Great accustics very good venue for all like,and a very nice restaurant too.

M. M.

Brilliant show my 7 year old granddaughter really loved it. Will be booking again next year. Very comfortable theatre. Worth the ticket price.

L. J.

The Rising Stars show was amazing. The theatre was packed, unfortunately that led to long queues at the bar and that whole process seemed to take a long time just to get a drink.

J. L.

Newly taken over bistro wine bar tea room in the theatre. Very good food looked good we were not eating 3 pages of tea choices.

H. A.

The Key Theatre, part of Vivacity, is a lovely theatre, good size and has a reasonable priced bar. The drink selection is great and the staff are always lovely

B. B.

First visit to see Circus of Horrors. Excellent , parking,staff and comfortable seating,really good view couldn’t have been better. Great night.

R. A.

Went here to see the voodoo circus of horrors show... It was a bit out there, but thrilling! The venue itself seems very nice, and we would enjoy seeing something else here some time

R. D.

Great view of stage from every seat. Comfortable seats. Nice bar for pre show drinks. Good selection of forthcoming entertainment.

M. L.

Good evening singing along to Dirty Dancing, 😀

M. J. E.

My son and daughter love there week at theatre school

G. C.

Good food before show, brilliant drums!!!!!wow 🥁👍 if you ever get chance to see,hear Mugenkyo Taiko drummers DO, br superb

M. C.

I always approve of any theatre that is managing to keep going outside of the M25. It is important to have a local art scene for all communities and films with untalented "actors" like kira nightly and johhny depp simply don't cut the mustard. Take away their wealth, tell them they are talentless idiots and watch their films for free by supporting the real film industry and using PirateBay. Many of us want to see a more distributed and less state controlled film industry an industry where we don't get so rich but a higher proportion of those with actual ability get to work. In the meantime I have my animal show and I'll carry on doing that. Britain has got talent but nobody with any sense is going to show it to simon bloody cowell, mostly because nobody with his dress sense should ever be trusted. Simon Cowell bringing you no talent or style since 1981... At some point I'll get round to reviewing his house!!! In the meantime come to this theatre and watch a show, I promise it will be a more authentic experience than going to the movie megaplex...

C. K.

Fantastic panto.

F. J.

The kids was so entertained, Brillient place, still feel that grand theatre in Leeds is still up there in my favourites, nothings ever topped Phantom of the opera xx still loved it

J. H.

Great theatre offering a broad range of programming.... Just wish the seats were more comfortable... Plus the dance studio ceiling is stupidly low!

N. C.

Went to a film showing of Star Wars : The Last Jedi. £3 each. Bargain and decent viewing. We will go to other film screenings again

J. S.

We've been a few times now, and never had a bad show! Staff very organised and accommodating. Overall a very professional and consistent standard of performance.

M. O.

Great evening of comedy from Gary Delaney. The Key is a superb venue for comedy shows, just the right size to engage with the performance.

F. S.

Fantastic venue with a good view wherever you’re seated. They get some great gigs there.

D. W.

Brilliant evening seeing the Neil Diamond tribute band. What a fantastic voice. Close your eyes and you'd never know you weren't listening to the man himself.

L. P.

Wonderful friendly theatre with good choice of music dance and drama. Who needs the west end when you have quality on your doorstep.

R. J.

Great pantomime, brilliant cast. So versatile with good music and singing. Loved the rocking fairy and Dame.

S. K.

Good theatre...saw a wonderful performance of Lip Service's new show "Strangers on a train set" and it went down very well.

D. P.

Great little theatre. Loved the tiger elwho came to tea. I think prices should be lowered to encourage more people to attend the theatre.

B. R.
