I am already looking forward to bringing the family to see this! TLTW+TW has always been one of my favourite children's stories. What a Christmas treat!

I would love to bring our Year 3 and 4(60+pupils) to see the Lion the witch and the Wardrobe. Could you please give me the cost to attend a morning performance just prior to Christmas. What is the ratio staff to children . It would be a wonderful chance for them to see theatre.
I came to see the Snowman , it was spectacular
Kind Regards

Hi,
Are any of the performances going to be signed for the hearing impaired children?

Could you tell me if you will be having afterdarks / spotlights / backstage tours etc during the run of this show.

I would like to book my tickets around these.

Good afternoon Mr Cleary,

In answer to your question, absolutely. Performances on the 15th December at 10.15am and the 30th December at 2.30pm are BSL interpreted.

We are keen to make sure that The REP is as accessible as possible for as wide an audience as possible. We have a number of access performances through out the season that include BSL interpreted, captioned and audio described performances. We also offer touch tours available for those with a visual impairment whose experience would be enhanced by gaining a physical familiarity with the set and costumes prior to a performance.

Will you have any matinee performances on 29th November? looking to bring our 3 children to this.

Thanks

If you are bringing a family, do give the Sales Team a call on 0121 236 4455 and they will be able to advise the best ticket package available for your group. We look forward to welcoming you all.

hello just wondering when will the cast be announced for this and is anyone staying on from the west yorkshire playhouse production of last year?

Hi Andy

You can see full cast details under the 'Company' tab further up this page - we'll add biographies and photographs to this page nearer the time.

Hi there!
I am coming to see this production with my theatre group on the 2nd January next year, and am really looking forward to it.
i noticed that the director is Adrian Mitchell. Would you possibly be able to tell me if this is the same production that was at the RSC in the late 90s?
Thanks!

Hi Liberty

Thank you for your message. This production is indeed written (not directed) by Adrian Mitchell, and is the same script used in the RSC production - though this is a different production to the RSC's version. It was originally created by West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2004 and revived by them in 2007, and we're delighted that it will be coming to us this Christmas. In return our production of Peter Pan from last Christmas will play at West Yorkshire Playhouse this year.

We look forward to welcoming you and your group!

Hi
We came to see Peter Pan last year and our two children of 3 and 13 loved it, our youngest will be 4 at christmas and I was wondering if the 6+ rule was fixed or is it as an advisory note due to some slightly scary bits in the show?

Hi Hayley, thank you for your message. We advise age 6+ because we feel that younger children may not follow the story well enough to get the most out of the production - and yes, there are one or two bits which might be a bit scary for younger ones! It's entirely your decision whether to bring your 4 year old, but we offer these guidelines in an effort to ensure that you and your family get the most out of your visit to The REP and are able to choose a show that's suitable for your family's needs. If you need any further advice do drop me a line stephanie.falkiner@birmingham-rep.co.uk. PS - I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed Peter Pan!

Our School is coming to see this play, we are very excited and can't wait to enter NARNIA! We hope it's good!

BRILLANT !!! SAW IT LAST NIGHT !!!! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT !!!

I went to see this production last night. Absolutely fantastic!! The cast are excellent and you almost feel captured in the story.....

Thank you so much for a great day out the whole family enjoyed the show - my 4 year old did not speak the the whole time! and couldn't stop talking afterwards.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Many Thanks
Nicola

My children were totally mesmerized, a fantastic production...congratulations to all involved.

My family saw this on the first night and it was brilliant. The sets, costumes, acting, singing, dancing and music were all wonderful. My advice to anyone thinking about it would be BOOK NOW!

We saw this on Saturday and were blown away!! Even our 13yr old lad (who didn't want to come) was enthralled. Wonderful acting, fab set design, how it's used and the overall direction and attention to detail was stunning. The way the fawns & reindeer walked & trotted almost had you believing they were real animals. I've mentioned the great acting but a special mention for Aslan and the White Witch who both inserted great drama into this great production.
Well done, again, the Rep!!

Another superb show!
I brought my four children last Saturday and we were mesmorized from beginning to end!
The set & costumes were fabulous.
Thankyou for taking us on an unforgetable, magical trip to Narnia!

My husband and myself went to see the show on Saturday 29th November, it was excellent. This was our first visit to The Rep and we would certainly return.

I took the kids to see TLTH&TW last night and it was excellent. I jumped at the bangs more than the kids.

I'm Mac and I am 4 and I liked ALL of the show very very much, especially 'Asland'(!!) the lion. I jumped a lot especially when Aslan was roaring. It was so good it made my Dad cry and I told everyone at school about it!

Great production!! Good sets !! Really enjoyed it !!
Small quibble,the spring transformation scene maybe could have been a little more spectacular,the few crocuses didn't quite do it for me. also the White Witch,'tho brilliantly acted and very scary,was a little muffled during her major speech.Will be recommending the show to all and sundry !!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS & A GREAT NW YEAR.X

I have been bringing school parties to the Christmas production at the Rep. for more years than I care to remember, and it never fails to impress; but this year's show was absolutly outstanding. The children were captivated by it, and so was I! Many congratulations to all concerned.

A wonderful production - the entire cast were brilliant. Hats off to adults for playing children so convincingly. Myself and my family had a great night - thanks.

Hello. I'm age 9 and i went with my school (PENNYHILL PRIMARY) on the 5th December 08. I thought thet the lion, witch and the wardrobe was brilliant and I would love to visit again soon to see it with my family. XXX

Another outstanding success, saw it on 6th december, brilliant cast, marvellous set - superb!

Saw it on the 29th November, My wife and I along with our grandchild thought the show was outstanding,and very entertaining, the cast were excellent and the set was just right. If this is the standard of shows that are put on by the Rep we shall certainly come again

An inspired production, highly imaginative and the acting confirmed that you must be the tops in originality of production.
Have already booked for 'His Dark Materials' in Northampton. Grandchildren can't wait for it.

went saturday 6th december to see TLWTW had a fantastic time. I am a middle aged old geezer and went with my partner and we both had a ball. would recommend this for all ages. Have told others and they are going to come see it. Superb cast and stage and score

Well done Rep on an great performance

My first visit to the rep theatre was wonderfully rewarded with this splendid performance taking me back to my childhood but yet utterly enjoyable for adulthood too! If you loved lion, witch and wardrobe once upon a time, this won't disappoint. Very impressed with the theatre, cast, stage design and overall production. A must see for children and adults this christmas!

hello i saw it you were brillant i wish it had gone on longer! Lucy you were excellent at singing and Edmund you were brillant at pretending you didn't go into Narnia. Susan you were brillant at being the queen on the throne and Peter you were excellent at fighting the queen's wolf and the queen you were brilliant at making the drink and turkish delight come like magic and the slave you were brilliant at making that funny voice. Oh and Aslan you were brilliant at every thing. Professor and maids you were excellent too but there are so many of you i can't remember but you all deserve a round of applause producers instrument people brilliant i have got to go nearly bed time so bye, from Chloe Tierney-Martin (on my moms e-mail)

Really enjoyed the production. It had everything. I have given tickets to my nephews as xmas presents and I'm sure they will enjoy it.

Only one little grumble - the auditorium felt rather cold - I sat with my coat and gloves on - can you turn the heating up a notch ?!!!?? Hah! :-)

Had family down from Scotland and managed to get them some additional tickets. There were 6 of us in total and we thoroughly enjoyed the show. My son of 9yrs especially liked Aslan, The White Witch's laugh and Mr.Tumlus as he thought the way he walked was very realistic!Thanks! The Haggerty Family

My husband and I went to see this show on Saturday 13 December and took my son and my parents. My son enjoyed it very much and so did I. The costumes and set were very cleverly done especially the large coats used for the forest. Mrs Beaver had a lovely singing voice. I do not think you can beat live theatre whether it is a serious play or a Christmas show.

Well done to everybody involved in the production.

My daughter and I saw the show on Monday and had a wonderful time. There were alot of school parties in the audience but the atmosphere was electric.

The combination of music and script gave the play real atmosphere. Some great characters, we especially liked the beavers.

Well done to all!

Hi all i went to see the lion the witch in the wardrobe today and let me just say it was fantastic
the way the stairs moved and allsorts of flashes it was fanstastic!!!!!!!!!!

We took our parents to see the show as an early Christmas treat...Absolutely stunning show, great set, wonderfully acted. as always with the Rep a brilliant production. Thanks x

I took my partner to see this play for his birthday at the playhouse in Leeds in January - WOW what an amazing play, really felt like you were inside the play, it was simply MAGICAL, certainly brought out the child in us both :-)

Me & my family went to see the production of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe and We All Loved It. It was an amazing experience and was simply excellent. We were on Row D In the middle so we had Brilliant eye contact with the cast.The only problem was that Lucy wasnt a Little 8 Year old girl Like the book . Other then that it was Magical production.

I took my Nan and Grandad to see the show. They really liked it. I thought it was fantastic. I've promised to take them again if they behave themselves!!!! Harrison: aged 6

Absolutely amazing performance - we were enthralled. This was an excellent production - having seen recent Christmas events from The Rep this ranks in the top echelon. Thank you

I went to see the show on the 20th December with my 8 year old Grandson who thought it was fantastic. I've always enjoyed the story and have read it to the Grandchildren several times so it was wonderful to see it come to life.

Absolutely amazing performance - we were enthralled. This was anexcellent production - having seen rcent Christmas events from the Rep this ranks in the top echelon. Thank you

It was brilliant! I can't imagine how much work went into it. My fave part was when Aslan came right close to us (I was four seats from the edge and my friend nearly jumped into my arms! It was hilarious!)
11 out of 10!!!

This was our first visit to the rep -- the show was fantastic -- the whole family realy enjoyed it. thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. It was cleverly done with a minimum of staging, the acting was good & the children convincing. Aslan was stunning with his amazing voice, perfect casting.

We were 12 people from 5 to 60+ and all thoroughly enjoyed the performance. A brilliant Christmas treat for the whole family. Many thanks and congratulations to actors and production team.

We came to the show on New Years Eve with out two 10yr old daughters, what a fabulous interpretaion and professional performance. Thank you for helping make the end of 2008 a memorable one for good reasons. Really like the Rep as all seats are in fairly good positions and seats are comfortable.

We visited on 27 December with our two grandchildren.
We thought the show was fantastic, my two grandchildren were enthralled by it. The actors and sets were first class.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

FANTASTIC!! I bought my 11 year old daughter a ticket for christmas, she's been so excited since Christmas day. Love the film, now love the Live Production.
Well done to all involved.
Thank You for a Wonderful Magical night out.

Thankyou for a lovely afternoon, my 4 year old son was mesmerised the whole way through. Infact it is the longest he has sat still ever.

Went to the Rep on Saturday and the performance was awesome. Aslan was brilliant and my 6 year old is still talking about it . My personal favourite was Mr Beaver but the whole show was worth every penny.

What an amazing performance!
Congratulations to all those involved.
42 of us went (as a work outing) and we all really enjoyed it!

Great performance, this was my son's first theatre experience, he was mesmerised. Highly recommended

Excellent, we came along with our 6 year-old nephew who was transfixed throughout the whole show and clapped like mad at the end. A fabulous production!

I came to see the show on a school trip. I really enjoyed the performance as a whole and I thought that all of the actors/actresses were exceptionally brilliant! I found that the performance was better than the film and I enjoyed it more than any other show I had seen in years. Fabulous Show!!

A magical performance, myself my wife and my daughter thought it was an excellent, very professional performance. My three grandchildren ages 11, 01 and 6 were enraptured. Well done keep up the good work at the Rep.

I brought a group of 29 made up of 19 members of a Club we all belong to and 10 of the member's Grandchildren.

The Show was wonderful and very well received by the Young and Old alike. We try and attended all your Christmas Shows as they are so beautifully presented in a magical sort of way

Thank you a splendid day out.
