   A fantastic venue and a real cultural gem! Derby Theatre offers brilliant performances in a warm, welcoming and modern setting. The atmosphere is great, the seating and views are excellent, and the staff are friendly and helpful. There’s always an interesting and diverse programme on offer, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommended for a great night out and for supporting local arts!

   We went to see Rosie Jones and it was just amazing, from arriving to taking our seats the whole experience was first rate, I picked seats on the second row from the front of the stage, the price was reasonable and the seats quite comfortable, Rosie Jones was fabulous and the show was a laugh out loud riot.

   I have enjoyed a couple of events at The Derby Theatre in recent weeks. A sound production of The Great Gatsby and a performance by American comedian, Rich Hall. The atmosphere in the auditorrium was excellent for both. The theatre offers a fine line of sight from any seat and provides an intimate environment enabling audience members to feel close to the performers. This theatre should be receiving a five star rating but is often let down by a poor, at times, amateurish feeling front of house. This is in contrast to the theatre's previous incarnation as The Derby Playhouse with it's professional bar and restaurant. I do not believe the staff are to blame but rather the general organisation and management. The theatre is a great asset to Derby and improvements especially to the front of house might return it to its place as the formidable regional attraction it once enjoyed.

   Really nice local theatre. Went to see the great gatsby. There was a lot of sickness in the cast and someone stepped up to a main role in 5 hours. If they didnt announce it, you wouldn't have known. Very talented team. The theatre is modest but has everything you need.

   Such a great little theatre. I am pretty local to Derby and this was my first time visiting. I parked in the basement car park and the theatre was easy to get to from there. The views from the seats are good and I don't think any of the seats would of had a bad view due to positions/angles. I am a plus size woman who carries her weight in her hips and these seats are better than normal theatre seating as they only have arm rests. The staff are friendly and very accommodating.

   Took 60 nursery children to see a show here. The staff were absolutely brilliant! Looked after us from start to finish. Would definitely book another outing here.

   Lovely as always, not a duff seat in the house and the wind in the willows play had the kids and adults spellbound. Not sure why they charge differently depending on where you sit and the prices are a little high for kids, making it an expensive evening out, but it was a full house, so hopefully continued support will see prices at least stay the same.

   We love Derby theater. Perfect size. Good views from any seat. Intimate enough to feel like you're part of the production sound quality. Excellent! We saw Wind in the willows. Just an awesome show full of great performances and beautiful music. A real strong summary vibe

   The atmosphere, the passion, the crowd, all truly incredible. I was left speechless after the magical experience of this wonderful restaurant. The first thing I saw was the fact that when we did the test we had a few ideas for a Monday pudding, but we later thought it was not a good fit for the ghost bus. Anyway, the taxi service man was amazing and I loved Bill from Birmingham.
