Lovely little theatre in a great location for parking, restaurants and drinks before or after the show. I went to watch Love n stuff this week which is a 2-man show and probably one of the best performances I have ever seen! Thoroughly recommend it ❤

Wonderful building and lovely atmosphere with great staff.

A wonderful Behind the Scenes at Watford Palace Theatre

Just a brilliant local theatre that everybody should use, much better then that you get in London ... and at a fraction if the cost! Must see Mushy ...very talented actors, will become famous very soon. Thank you

Why go to the West End of London when you have this beautiful theatre right here in Watford!!

As audience and performing I know the Palace Theatre very well. The theatre is a classic early 20th century music hall theatre with prosenium arch and classic stalls, circle and upper circle (gods) layout. It gas a fantastic atmosphere and the early 21st century redevelopment improved the access, bars and, for performers, the back stage and dressing room space. A great place to watch and perform. Make sure you do not price out amateur societies, the community needs the facility as much a the professionals.

Lovely atmosphere

Beautiful theater, and staff was friendly

Sleeping Beauty production a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely loved it. Entertaining funny clean. Lovely production beautifully written and adapted for the stage really funny Laugh out loud moments. Highly recommend not to be missed, thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.

Beautiful theater, friendly staff and thought through social distancing, executed beautifully! Thank you!!

Oldest livetheatre in Herts and the best by far

We go to the pantomime here every year in a big family group. It is usually extremely good, but this year the performance felt ... thin. Set was good, music was good, but the performers less so. A couple of the women tended to shriek when speaking loudly, rather than project their voice. This was particularly noticeable in the “baddy” witch. Her acting was good, but voice was squeaky when speaking loudly.When singing the volume balance was wrong. The singing was not amplified enough, so was drowned by the music and lacked impact.Still, the children in the group loved it, which was great.

Panto was Fab-U-Lous. There were three generations in our party, and the production catered for all of us particularly musically. It was lovely to see and hear live music so professionally presented. A most enjoyable experience, thank you to all the cast, and production team. Dont miss out on this great show.

Black Men Walking was a great show. Up to the usual high standard of the Watford Palace. Always enjoy visiting this place. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Great facility which we are very fortunate to have.

Nice little theatre, we took our granddaughter to see the panto sleeping beauty. Fun had by all. Nice ice cream tub sold during the interval as well. Nice afternoon spent at this place.

Beautiful theatre

A great panto this year funny talented singers and Watford appropriate a goid time was had by all. Ticketing good too. Need more staff for break time thank you Carolyn tuck

I have been here on a number of occasions and have never had a bad time.The productions are varied but always top-notch. Whether it is a pantomime, play, show, delayed broadcast of a London play or special screening of a film, it is always well presented. There are plenty of shows aimed at children and families, so there is something for everyone to see.The staff are friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable.The bar odds well stocked with a varied selection of drinks and snacks.The building, itself, is beautiful and considering that it is over 100 years old has all the modem amenities.

Lovely theatre that produces some great plays. Can meet up in the friendly cafe on the ground floor. So lucky to have this local venue.

How was the theatre? Excellent! Nicely preserved intimate (i.e. not large) period auditorium. We saw Oklahoma! performed by Abbots Langley G&S Society - absolutely stunning, but unfortunately if you dont have tickets already, I think you will have missed the show. Watch out for their future productions and go to this theatre to enjoy the setting.

Saw their production of Gaslight last night, really impressed. Superb acting and a moving modern adaptation of the classic play. Well worth seeing.

Great old fashioned theatre

Sleeping beauty panto, just the best family fun to be had. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. A triumph!

The updated version of Gaslight is one of the BEST plays I have seen in a very very long time.. Highly recommended...

We saw musical SISTER ACT. Very well done. Performance by The Cassio Players. Absolutely superb. We visit Watford Palace quite often.

Great atmosphere, seats are fairly comfortable and the acoustics are balanced. Went to see Christmas panto, enjoyed the show!

Gaslight is well worth a visit. Innovative production which may pluck some heart strings of anyone with a similar experience

Great little theatre, with all the seats close to the stage. I have enjoy visiting this theatre for the last 35 years but they no longer choose plays that interest me. The only shows that I feel are worth seeing are amateur productions produced by Cassio Operatic and other local groups. They now show films as well but again these do not interest me. We need some more comedy or classic plays rather that what the theatre thinks is cutting edge. These dont fill seats or cater for the demographic.of Watford.

Cute little theatre. Perfect for school trips.

Really great local theatre. Saw Ruddigore last night which was excellent. Shame there werent a few more people there.

Cleverly updated, this theatre retains the gorgeous old auditorium whilst having good modern facilities front of house. We saw the 2018/19 panto which was classic family fun

Staff were freindly and polite. The Victor an venue sports a rather modern look on the outside, while inside the theatre, the impressive ornate plasterwork still exists.I have seen a couple of shows at the Watford Palace and have enjoyed both. Their program is jam packed with a little something for everyone.

Lovely characterful theatre. Friendly helpful staff. Comfortable seating that is easy to sit in with aches and pains. A great evening.

The show we saw was fantastic. The theatre is really hot and stuffy. Ill stick to shows at Watford Colosseum from now on.

We went to see an excellent performance by the Abbots Langley Gilbert and Sullivan Society.

Good venue and we really enjoyed the performance by the PQA. However it was summer and too hot in there because someone forgot to turn on the air con? The cast must have been boiling hot on stage, they still gave a grand performance.

Went to see Jack & The Beanstalk. Fantastic show in great surroundings. Would recommend the venue and that cast for anything!

A happy place with good productions. I am a little biased because my 80 something year old mother still does the festivals here. The staff are good all round & the bar is well stocked with drinks & nibbles.

Saw Gaslight. Problematic in acting, directing and conception.Actors are ok but they had a problem dealing with directors concept. The villian was far too violent and obvious. And the psychological element of subtle mental abuse was thus lost.Good stage design.Too much adapting a play too suit the aims of women under abuse.

This is a great theatre. Lovely hall with comfy seats and good views, even in the stalls. And a nice bar too!

Great local theatre well laid out drink prices very reasonable nice venue

No need to travel to the Westend. Try the local and visiting productions. Always enjoy the amateur musical production which are great!

Its not Christmas without seeing a panto at the palace! Great fun lovely little theatre

Nice, comfy theatre with a good shop and great place to see a performance.

Excellent show, would recommend to anyone who hasnt yet seen this version of gaslight

A cool intimate venue where you really feel part of the act.

Very nice theatre. Good bar with a fair amount of choice. Seating was comfortable and a good view of the performance area. Will be going again.

Saw wonderfully acted version of Arthur Millers ‘Broken Glass’. Thought provoking and scarily relevant to today. Well done to Watford.

This is a fairly nice, small and cosy theatre. Traditional looking theatre inside. Has a bar that serves cold and hot drinks. Parking can be found at nearby multi storey car park.

Nice little theatre. Park in the nearby intu carpark. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Production was great

Great place to watch Covent Garden opera relays. Audio volume could do with being turned lower. Please survey your audience on this as it is of concern to many.

Lovely place to go, excellent shows for kids they loved it.

Its a really nice theatre - it has a modern bar and cafe and then you enter a gorgeous renovated Edwardian theatre. Its a really great place to see the Big Screenings (unlike the popcorn strewn multiplexes). The modern drama is really good too often touring other major theatres. There is multi-storey parking right next to the building though Watford’s ring road takes some understanding.

Great local theatre, always has interesting productions.

Looks like an old interior the modern theatre has been built around, but more comfortable and better leg room! The only drawback is the terrible parking. None of the many carparks were open late and it was horribly confusing driving around trying to find one as we had never been previously

Pity its still closed due to covid19

Nice theatre. Easy parking across the road. Absurd Person Singular was very funny

Amazing place and my little ones enjoyed the baby broadway show.

Top quality professionally acted plays in a beautiful theatre. West End quality at a modest price. Car parking nearby and plenty of local restaurants.

Good night out. Excellent production

Had a great time at the pantomime yesterday. Kids and adults alike enjoyed their show of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Go every year to see the panto great family entertainment

Lovely little theatre, perfect for a little ones play. My kids enjoyed being there (and so did I😅).

Imaginative programming and great performances. A gem of a theatre.

Saw my niece in a production there excellent facility

Great performance. Absurd Person Singular by Alan Ayckbourne. Even met the cast afterwards at the 70s disco upstairs! Fabulous, thoroughly recommend!

Went to see Aladdin with 7 year old and wife. All had a great time. Good entertainment.

Amazing entertainment. Watched the scarecrows wedding.

Found this a nice venue and the help given to our group by a guy called mark was very good

Went to a Poetry evening in the bar upstairs which also has a small stage.Great intimate venue, superb talent too!!

Beautiful theatre, great variety within the performance schedule. Visit annually for the Gilbert and Sullivan production, always superb.

Easy to get to. Helpful staff. Good programme of events.

Lovely little theatre, put on a variety of things suitable for all ages. Nice little restaurant as well

Good to have a theatre tight on the doorstep, seen some brilliant productions there

Just been to see much ado about nothing really good all the cast were entertaining good show and the atmosphere was good and all the staff cant wait for guys and dolls

A real gem, great atmosphere, exceptional customer service

Great venue and Sleeping Beauty was excellent!

Brilliant Panto as always. Especially the Dame. My grandkids LOVED it

Been living in the area for many years. Always a good experience whatever I see. Must go more often.

Very good!

We went to see the pantomime. Excellent as usual in this beautiful gem of a theatre.

Saw the Xmas panto (Jack and the beanstalk) great performance and great show.

We visited again yesterday to watch an excellent performance of “Brighton Rock”. It is West End standard! Highly recommend.

Had a lovely social day with gentle exercises and interaction with the attendees.

This is a little gem right in the middle of town. Lovely inside and comfy seating.

Great performance of much ado about nothing. Lovely little bar.

Took my grandson to a matinee performance of childrens books he had a great time and got a tiddler

Information regarding parking not good , palace car park recommended but it closes at 10pm 15mins before show finishes

Feels familiar, helpful staff

Had a great time, entertained by ex Watford FC players.

Beautiful seating and theatre. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely looking theatre. Plenty of parking options close by.

A small and friendly theatre. Last there for the pantomime excellent.

Shocking , l unfortunately left my wallet on my chair after a performance and when I phoned the theatre to see where it was, I was told they would search and come back to me. So I have to presume a member of staff stole it. That’s a bold claim but as I was last out ( due to my disability) what else can I think. Very disappointed and upset.

Traditional. High.. Two bars. But cosy. No obstruction of view from seats.

Loved the theatre. Beautiful intimate theatre. reasonable bar and friendly staff.

Theres often something good on, ticket prices arent too bad.

I enjoyed my seat in the box and the theatre has a nice intriguing decor overhead and on the balcony perimeters!

A pleasant afternoon seeing a good play.

Lovely little venue. Good seats in the stalls near the back
