    Great little theatre with excellent airy atmosphere. The parking is opposite the location and reasonable at £2. The facilities offer a nice bar. The theatre is modern and could be a problem for tall folk as leg room isn't overly great. Productions are 15-20 per seat and very well produced

    Been to a few pantomimes in different parts of the country..... none of them get close to the quality of entertainment provided by the one run by the Little Theatre. It is one of the best things about Leicester and something the community should be rightly proud of.

    This was my 1st visit here it's a great little theatre seating lighting sound are all are well suited to this place. I think there are maybe around 300 seats but you can see the stage clearly I'm guessing from all. Brilliant and recommended.

'Mama Rose' you excelled yourself. I compere every Rose to Rosalind Russell, you got her to a T. The best I have ever seen, including professionals. Well done everyone 👏

    I attended the matinee production of Puss in Boots, this years Panto. This was my first visit to The Little Theatre and was unsure of it's location, however I found it easily a short walk from the hopper bus stop opposite the train station. The theatre has only a small box office and foyer but a surprisingly large bar with plenty of tables and chairs. I did not sample the wares so cannot comment upon prices or quality. The program was only £3 which is much cheaper than many other theatres. The ice creams in the interval were also very reasonably priced. The seats were comfortable enough not to be an issue even after the 2 1/2 hr. production. I have never seen a Puss in Boots panto before and was unaware of the story, which worked out fine as basically there isn't one! It was however a wonderful mix of song and dance routines with all the usual sillyness associated with a panto. My favourite part was the 12 days of post (Christmas) which was very cleverly written and performed to perfection by the three cast members, I'm not sure how much was adlib or scripted but it was hilarious. Overall a very enjoyable experience and one I hope to repeat in the future.

    The show was very good. With all performers parts acted well. Sat at the front so it was a bit loud . Enjoyed the show well done everyone.

    The staff were lovely and friendly and the theatre was nice and bright and clean however the lift was out of order and there are a lot of stairs. As a person of limited mobility this made it difficult. But on the whole, it was lovely.

    Brilliant! Our annual visit to the little theatre pantomime 16th December was another great night. We go as a family, grandparents right down to young grandchildren, and have been doing so for a few years now and we all really enjoy the show. All on stage performed so well and all played their part in putting on such a good show but fusspot was particularly good,as usual. The costumes and scenery were perfect and did show how much work was obvious put into.To watch the grandkids getting involved when the bear appears on stage is so special. Thanks also go to all front of house and back stage crew because without them quite simply the show couldn't go ahead. The commitment from all is so impressive and they all should be so proud of the result and the enjoyment they all give. We've already booked and looked forward for next year's show, sleeping beauty. Thanks again for a great show!

    Lovely theatre with great view of the stage. The first 5 rows are flat on the ground however with no tiers so if you want a bit of height go further back. Helpful staff, there is a pay and display car park opposite it, they sell snacks and ice creams in the theatre and there is a bar with a great variety of drinks. Comfortable seats in the theatre and have been many times and will continue to go back.

    Always have a great time at the Little Theatre! I've seen plays and musicals and pantos here and they've all been brilliant, with excellent actors, costumes and sets! The seats are a little close together but they have good leg room. There's a handy car park across the road that isn't expensive. A lovely theatre overall!

    I went to see calendar girls and the performance was fantastic. The sound quality was a little shakey in places but I wouldn't say it affected the performance. The only minor problem I found was the doorways and lift are quite narrow so a larger wheelchair might have problems

    They hosted a 3 day international music event for The Collective Choir. Amazing staff, flexible spaces, great and clean facilities with easy access.

    It's a great little theatre, parked in Dover Street car park just opposite . We saw The Jersey Beats who were brilliant. Give the theatre a go you won't be disappointed.

    Fairly impressed by the theatre, it was very clean and tidy and the staff were friendly and helpful. The seats were a little on the small side and the heat on a warm June evening was quite unbeareable towards the end of the performance.

    First time at this theatre and I was very impressed. Staff, service and prices all excellent. The theatre was "cosy" and clean. Loved it

    Excellent theatre, had a kids bar so they could do some colouring etc during the interval. It was a lovely little place.
