    Very spacious, good view of the stage, good sound system and loads of leg room ! I'm 6ft and was sat cramped up sideways like normal theatres !

    Another great pantomime, Thanks to Anthony and all the cast and crew. Every year you deliver a family filled performance which is funny and entertaining no matter if you're young or old. Roll on next year.

    We watched Sleeping Beauty on Christmas Eve with our two children (age 7 and 10). The evening was on a par, if not better, than the past years we have been. We laughed so hard and were smiling the whole way through. My kids still rememeber the lines from previous years! We've seen a few other local Pantos over the years but nothing compares to The Mercury Theatre! Absolutely outstanding !!! Thank you to all the staff for making our Christmas and we look forward to booking our next Panto tickets once they're released. The Durrant Family

    Went to the panto with a large group of family and had a great time. The set design was phenomenal, and the cast did a fantastic job. Hilarious as always and a great time had by old and young. The story wasn't quite there this year, but it was made up for with plenty of great sketches and some top-class crowd work for the ever so talented Dame. The theatre itself has had a lot of investment, and the amenities here are very good. There are plenty of food and drink options and places to sit while waiting for the show, and it adds to the whole experience of a night out at the theatre

    Had a great time at the Do you believe in ghosts show .. it was our first time at the Mercury theatre and will definitely be going back. Atmosphere was nice all the staff we came in contact with were polite and nice . The theatre was comfortable as plenty of leg room where we were sitting just a really nice theatre ...

    My first visit today to the Mercury Theatre in Colchester which was to see Derren Brown's "Unbelievable". An incredible show. A modern & very clean theatre. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. It's located right in the town centre opposite St Mary's multi story car park. There was an offer to buy all day parking for £2.75 with your ticket. I would most definitely recommend it.

    Nice size theatre. Lots of nice comfortable seats in the bar area. Loved the hot veggie sausage roll as we hadn't eaten before the show and it was very yummy.

    Went to see Sleeping Beauty. This is the second time I've been here and the show did not disappoint! Hilarious from start to finish. We had a great view of the stage too even from near the back. My only gripe is that a lemonade and chocolate buttons cost over £6!
