Nice phone - but no need to Call Me, you can book tickets online anytime for Shakers. Join in the Rapture of last night’s audience and come on down to the Lantern. Football? What football? http://www.ticketsource.co.uk/thelanterns heff
fell in love with this place after discovering in March. Wuthering Heights was excellent but they surpassed themselves last night with Midsummer Nights Dream. Absolutely hilarious - a lot of great talent there. Can't wait for the next performance
What a wonderful gem of a theatre, so special. Long may it last!
Went to see Gaslight last night. It was a brilliant production in a wonderful theatre. Thanks to everyone involved - it was truly great.
This is the second time in 6 months we have been to the Lantern Theatre and certainly won't be our last. A super venue very intimate and a friendly, warm welcome by all staff.
Both productions have been excellent with top performances from the actors. It's an intimate venue, but almost like stepping into the tardis.
The bar is well stocked with some fine craft beers and imported largers (soft drinks and Tea etc), all of which are very reasonably priced.
Superb venue, great for live music and a reasonable priced and we'll stocked bar.
Shakers: a bit of humour, some pathos, and all very engaging. Recommended. A fun theatre experience, made all the more enjoyable by the theatre itself. Well done to all involved with the production and the running of the venue. A secret too well kept.
Managed to get a couple of seats way up in the balcony and quite a few real ales outta bottles doonstairs. Top notch venue.
Lovely, quaint, full of charm I love this theatre!
Great venue and great performance of Dracula tonight
Gorgeous Jewel of a theatre! Great play and cast. Love going there - but make sure you take warm clothes and avoid the icy beer on a cold night!
Came to see A Bunch Of Amateurs on Saturday evening.
What a brilliant show.
I really enjoyed it.
A great cast and crew.
First time I have been but will not be the last......
Well done everyone involved.
And, what a lovely unusual theatre.
AND, I gave a huge plug on BBC Radio Sheffield Toby Foster show on Tuesday morning also.
Beautiful little theatre. If you live in Sheffield you need to find this little gem of a place.
An amazing place with true historical significance. Lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit!
Amazing theatre its like stepping back in time, proper piece of Sheffield history
A magical little place that fills up my senses much more than a greasy chip butty ever could. The place oozes character.
A beautiful theatre that I feel prove lived to be involved with, both as a performer and an audience member.
Saw Steel Magnolias tonight - fabulous! What's the name of the actress who played the role of M'Lynn? She was absolutely incredible and reduced me to tears portraying the raw emotions of a Mother who lost her child... Spectacular acting.
Really lovely venue! We commented that it reminded us of being at the fringe in Edinburgh. Very good value and great atmosphere. Just been to see 'A few good men' which is well worth seeing!
I love this place and it's a hidden treasure. Reasonably priced and diverse shows, and a beautiful atmospheric building. The only reason I've given it four stars is when I went to a performance last night it was absolutely freezing cold. I, along with lots of others in the audience where wrapped up in coats but I was so cold and uncomfortable it spoilt the experience for me. It certainly won't put me off going but I will wrap up well next time.
