We booked a Behind the scenes tour as part of a family weekend away and it was superb. Depending on the production going on at the time the tours vary their stops, but we went backstage as it was a Sunday. Our guide was great with lots of knowledge and stories about events that happened at the theatre. very quickly he gauged our interests in the theatre and added in bits of info we would appreciate as backstage nerds Would highly recommend the tours as a nice way to spend a morning

Wow..yet again a fantastic night at this grand theatre. The whole visit from start to finish was fantastic.. The play- the storyline, the small number of actors/actresses and the number of multi parts they played..the songs, music and scenery and not to forget the dog!! Were truly amazing... We have been fortunate to get seats on offer in the past. However on this occasion we had the option of £16 partially restricted view or £40... we went for the dearer seats and so glad we did. Due to the stage layout constantly changing with each play performed there you never know how restricted your view will be..not worth the chance..don't get restricted.

Well worth booking the discovery ticket you get a really good tour behind the scenes of both the RSC theatre and the Swan, the guide is excellent in his portrait of backstage life, you can really appreciate all the work that is put in for each performance. The tower is worth a visit go up in the lift but walk dow the stairwell the portraits of famous actors going back in time is well worth the walk down. All the staff are friendly and helpful a very enjoyable place to visit

I've been to quite a few theatres and this place has to be the best. Staff really friendly and helpful the theatre shop superb and reasonably priced (unlike some theatre's I could mention) there is a restaurant there but we didn't use it, also I counted 3 bars all reasonably priced. On the whole a superb evening the management and the whole team should give themselves a pat on the back...

Booked for Boy In A Dress. Show was excellent, and as expected from the RSC. My review is really more about the staff service throughout our visit, from the gift shop to the interval drinks. Nothing was too much trouble, and I would recommend getting drinks on the third floor as much less busy. Only one point of caution is that there is only a twenty minute interval, which does make things tight with large numbers of children present.

Not our first visit- will keep coming back. Birthday surprise this time- front row seats. Excellent production, very faithful to book but with creative and original artistic choices in staging. Lovely to see so many engaged (and well-behaved) children in audience, being introduced both to the RSC and to the tolerant themes of the piece.

We visited the theatre for the first time to see the play the boy in the dress and had a fantastic time. The play itself was excellent and appeals to all ages. The place itself is well laid out. They have lifts to all levels which is great as one of our party struggles to walk upstairs. The eating in the the theatre is actually quiet comfortable. There are bars but if you want to take drinks in you can purchase plastic reusable cups for a pound and either keep them or take them back downstairs and get your money back. I would also recommend ordering drinks for the interval. These are left on specific shelfs so you can pick them up and don't have to queue up at the bar. the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Not been to this theatre since it was remodelled its a lovely lay out comfortable seats great views of the stage. It was a cold day outside and freezing in the theatre not very nice. We knew that this new musical was for families but thought as it was a matinee in term time there wouldn’t be too many children. What a mistake it was full of children and consequently as those in the stalls were primary school they simply did not stop fidgeting very annoying. We were told before hand masks were mandatory in the theatre unless eating or drinking but people were not complying. The west end theatres ask for a COVID certificate to prove double vaccination perhaps the RSC should consider this. The musical was good some great talent on stage, fantastic scenery but the music was not memorable. You didn’t want to rush out and buy the music to play again.

My group of 6 friends watched in awe as the superb actors made ‘The boy in a Dress’ come alive. From the first word to the last, we were captivated. The show is awesome & must be destined for the West End. Denis was played by an extremely talented young actor whose performance was faultless. Simply excellent!

Decided to try something different on New Years Eve. Really glad we did. Visited the RSC to see the Boy in the Dress by David Walliams. The venue is small but very well organised with a nice little bar and cafe right in the centre of Stratford. Parking was straight forward at Stratford Leisure Centre. Whilst ordering a drink before the show we were able to order our drinks for the interval. This all worked very well and the drinks were ready for us at the interval. Seats were mid-range and the view was excellent. The theatre really does feel like a throw back to Shakesperian times in its design internally. Show was superb with great songs and a modern storyline. Would highly recommend a visit
