First visit to the rep and we travelled down from Aberdeen for Sweeny Todd Unbelievable building and maybe the best venue I have been in for a show and we have been to 1 or 20 Loads of legroom, and the rake of the building reminds me of an IMAX cinema when the row in front is at your seated knee level so everyone gets the best view possible. Amazing turn around at half time with super speedy toilet and bar service Our only grip is we are so far away and can't attend more often

We came to Birmingham specifically to see Sweeney Todd and the experience at the Rep was fantastic. The seating was great and the slight dip in the rows highly appreciated, since it assured that tall people in front of you wouldn't obstruct the view. The show itself was spectacular, both in the acting and the musical numbers as the production on stage. All very high class and done with care and love. Absolutely loved it!

We visited Birmingham Rep Theatre on the opening night of Small Island. There was quite a buzz in the audience for this much anticipated play, about the Windrush generation’s experience of arriving in the UK. A great theatre with good views of the stage from each seat. There are two bars outside the auditorium, with an option to order interval drinks. There was a very long queue during the interval for the ladies toilets. It did move swiftly as there are lots of toilets. A great night at the theatre.

Such a wonderful place! Very efficient crowd management, lovely and welcoming staff people, beautiful place and probably the best auditorium I've ever been: perfect visual and audio from every seat. You can also access the Rep's library which is a gorgeous four floor structure. Worth a visit
