    I've been to a few shows here and they are very cheap. But, the quality is great and it's a nice place to go and hang out and make new friends. Romeo and Julie was the first performance I watched and there was a lot of engagement from the enthusiastic volunteers at the Sherman. I also went to the BBC film festival that was held there. Really good place to visit. Everything is accessible and they run things on different days/times to accommodate all. There are also performances in Welsh and English which gives people and option to explore Welsh medium life. The team are also happy to help out disabled people which is great.

    Early morning vibe - in foyer and in coffee bar, calm and had that creative feel to it. Very obliging and friendly staff, had a lovely coffee whilst taking in the ambience and had a chance to browse what shows are upcoming which prompted me to book Rome and Juliet in April.

    Enjoyed evening hosted by Aled & Fiona in appreciation of front of house volunteers, great quiz and pizzas πŸ˜‹ meant to ask, though, where was the Olivier award for best regional theatre? It used to have pride of place above the bar πŸ€”

    A magical welcome and a great show. This is a very special place held dear in our hearts. We had a problem with the tickets and it was sorted out with a smile and no dramas! (Unlike the show!) Lol highly recommend a visit if you get the chance. πŸ‘πŸ»

    Great children's show in the studio space. Well set up with mats so kids can be comfortable on the floor rather than being stuck in a seat for an hour. Friendly helpful staff.

    Went to see Peter Pan to the 23rd December and the whole experiment was magical. The staff were fantastic at accommodating someone in our party who is a wheelchair user and the show was unusual and fun as always!

    Really enjoyed Sunday in the Park with George. Excellent staging, scenery, acting, singing and music.

  • 5/5 Luke R. 1 year ago on Google
    Just saw The Tales of the Brothers Grimm. Absolutely brilliant. One of the best Christmas shows I've been to. The story was great, the actors were superb as they were able to sing and play instruments as well, the stage design was fantastic and the music and songs were amazing. I want the soundtrack! Thanks for a lovely evening. We absolutely loved it.

    A small theater with a big soul. I was at a play by the Brothers Grimm. Great show. I also enjoyed delicious espresso and incredible and caring staff. Will definitely come back here again.

    HUGE Thank you! to the Sherman Team, from Fairwater hub customers and staff, for the wonderful Tales and Tea play and the service you provided and all the help. Everyone had a fantastic time!

    I cannot praise the staff enough, they were absolutely brilliant when my daughter missed a show for her friends birthday. Thank you so much, you made a little girls day!

  • 2/5 Amir W. 1 year ago on Google
    Generally great staff and performance however, was really disappointed at the way one of the larger female managers spoke to my friend, with great attitude and disrespect. It was really unnecessary and really ruined the rest of our day. Can further etiquette and mannerisms be taught to some of your managerial staff pls? Thanks.

    Always a good quality show at this place - great stories, gorgeous sets and amazing costumes. Beautiful building, chilled and welcoming atmosphere. What's not to like?

    Warm and friendly. Every member of staff I encountered were amazing. Very accommodating with my children and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sherman Theater for making our visit a positive and enjoyable time. I will definitely come back!

    A magical first theatre trip for our Grandsons. A Christmas Carol set in Cardiff was well worth the visit.

    Lovely theatre! Staff are lovely and food is well priced! They have a lovely restaurant where you can buy hot food at a good price. It’s amazingly wheelchair accessible and there are lifts everywhere to allow access

    Saw Dance to the Bone on Monday - and I'm going back tonight to see it again!! An amazing production and beautiful space. The concessions are reasonably priced as well. Also, they have a very competent volunteer base, and do a very good job of recognising their volunteers.
