Brookside Theatre

"Just been to see The Jerseys at Brookside Theatre. What a fantastic theatre and the show was amazing. Wonderfully friendly, helpful staff and we had a fantastic night. Will definitely be returning. 5 stars for The Jerseys and the theatre."

"This little haven is a piece of gold in the area of Romford. It brings high quality performances to the general public at the fraction of the price of the Westend. The shows are really varied from musicals to comedy, bands to the paranormal! The front of house volunteers are delightful and always willing to help. I have seen some unnecessary reviews on here regarding experiences. I have witnessed some of the ‘negative’ experiences as an audience member and I have to say, those complaining have clearly not read small print when booking and throw their toys out the pram as they don’t get what they want immediately. In my experience, The Brookside Theatre bend over backwards to accommodate their patrons and the negative comments I have seen are merely being spiteful as they didn’t get their own way. I have have seen numerous shows at The Brookside Theatre and will endeavour to do so for a long time to come. Many congratulations to the recent cast of The Sound of Music. Absolutely brilliant! The children were outstanding and the rest of the cast were superb! Keep it up Brookside! Looking forward to the next instalment"

"First time at Brookside and definitely the last went as a group of about 40 from a club for adults with a learning disability, we had booked so they knew we were coming but no facilities for the disabled, one gentleman could not manage the steps even with 4 male adults to help him, they insisted he could not sit at the top he had to go down to the bottom, thankfully a very nice man with 2 small children who was sitting in the back row offered to swap his seats, he said it’s a shame more people are not more accommodating, the staff/ volunteers were not helpful and in some cases quite rude. We then queued up for 15 mins for a drink only to find when we were 8th from the front that they then had to shut the kiosk for the 2nd half to start !!!!! Making it very upsetting for the individuals as they did not understand. If they could not cope with that amount of people then why did they let us book and take our money. Have done many many trips with this group over approx 8 years lots to Theatres and this trip was the worst theatre trip l have experienced with my son. I will agree that the show was excellent and was enjoyed by all so thank you"

"Never going to book at this theatre again as they would not let me reschedule "elf the musical " date for another time. I was taking my nephew who was very unwell and would not be able to make the schedule date. The woman to which we spoke to on the phone had no people skills whatsoever. It does seem like reading through other reviews on here that I am not the only one who have issues with this woman. I would not take another chance at booking again at this venue."

"We came to see Titanic on Saturday evening. Fantastic show, very professional. We loved all the characters. We particularly enjoyed the male voices, towards the finale, and found it all quite moving. We have enjoyed several visits to this lovely theatre now and not been disappointed. I would encourage others to visit, we are lucky to have this in our local area."
