I went to see Cinderella this morning at Boathouse 5 (Historic Dockyard) and it was absolutely brilliant. The show had great energy from start to finish. The cast was fantastic. Buttons and the Princey were a comedy highlight, their parody sketch using record titles was clever and had us in stitches. The "adult" jokes were perfectly timed, and had us all laughing. The Dame was very funny, and the Ugly Sisters and Stepmother were wonderfully entertaining villains. A special mention to Cinderella, who had a truly beautiful singing voice. The dancers brought great vibes, and the three mice were absolutely cute and very good humans too! The modern pop song adaptations were cleverly done and the whole production was top-tier. Highly recommend catching this if you can!

Very nice historic theatre. Bar is really good with a great mix of fairly priced drinks. Went to see the panto, Rapunzel, and really enjoyed it! Great fun for all the family. All the main cast are amazing, but I have to shout out Rubella and Jojo, who never put a foot wrong and were so good with the crowd! Dancers and secondary cast also knocked it out of the park! The only thing to bear in mind is the stage is up a fairly large flight of stairs, but if that is no worry, I definitely recommend the venue and the show.

As we got there very early we were able to park in the carpark. It was about £1 per hour so for 4 hrs parking only cost £4.50. The place it's self was really nice just like stepping back in time but in a good way. Staff are very friendly

Went to the panto today, and this little theatre massively over delivered! So great to get everyone involved! I did have to point out the friend zone to Colin! But all taken in good humour. I will be supporting this place massively. Thanks for a great show

What a lovely little theatre. We were at a Cabaret show Saturday 3rd December hosted by Miss Hilsea Lido (The famous Drag Queen). Haven't laughed so much for a long time, adult humour, music and magic. All round a fantastic night

I have just come back from doing a tour of the Theatre, fantastic place, never been there before. Staff friendly helpful and very knowledgeable. The re-enacting wonderful. Thank you so much, will be passing on what a very enjoyable hour was spent at the Theatre.

A small, quirky theatre. You have to go upstairs to the stage area which has round tables and chairs as opposed to normal raked seating. Unfortunately no actual ventilation in that area. Nice, friendly staff.
