"It would be very useful to have the name of the exact venue rather than a list and more singing, less games"

It would be very useful to have the exact details of where the venue is...rather than a list of possible venues? A map and 'name of building' is useful to teachers. The workshop was ok...but we have had better from you in the past? The 'warm up' activities are dated....all our students had played all but one before! The 'storytelling through song' involved 45 minutes of 'dancing/acting out' a short section of 'Mamma Mia' that was played...when we watched them back this accounted for half the workshop....we could have done this ourselves in school? On a previous visit we had 2 staff who led a singing and harmony workshop which was a lot more rewarding to our students. So, it was ok....just not what we wanted or expected.

"Couldn't have been more helpful"

Used this site to book a large number of tickets for a number of shows for some visiting students. Adam was super helpful and accommodating. We were booking with quite short notice, but Adam still managed to find us excellent tickets, for an excellent price to big shows like Wicked. Will definitely be using them again!

"Enjoyable Trip and Experience"

Adam liaised with us well and was extremely accommodating in terms of adding extra students last-minute. The workshop was thoroughly enjoyable and tailored to the show from the night before. There were a couple of unforeseen hiccups in terms of logistics, but overall we would definitely go with Theatre Workout again.

"Smooth Operator"

Adam was a delight to work with as usual and managed to secure extra tickets on top of the original 20 requested. Adam always replies to emails on the same day. The show was amazing in many different ways and a great inspiration for the students who will be devising work next term. Highly recommended.

"Puppetry Workshop with Year 1"

Theatre Workout recently did a puppet workshop with Year 1 at my school. The practitioner was very engaging and had a warm and nurturing rapport with the children. However, the 30 minute delay to the workshops (due to factors out of the practitioner’s control) meant that the first workshop began late, so the children only got to watch the puppets being made. The majority of the workshop was spent getting the children to make the puppets and for Year 1 children, the size of the paper and their little fingers made this tricky. Smaller paper, or having some pre-made puppets ready would’ve helped with this. They had very limited time to play with the puppets and make them move, breathe, interact etc. Also, I was hoping for some inclusion of practical role-play activities where they could explore the story of Pinocchio in more depth. I appreciate that this workshop was aimed more at KS2 children but I was told that the workshop content would be adapted accordingly for the age group. Communication with Theatre Workout was good throughout the booking process but also felt that a phone call on the morning of the workshops to let me know that the practitioner was running late would’ve been appreciated.

"My group loved it :)"

Brought a large group of secondary school students to do a Shakespeare workshop and everybody was delighted- kept mentioning how brilliant the experience was and it was one of the highlights of the trip for many. Thank you!

"Great workshop. Students were buzzing!"

Attended a Shakespeare-themed workshop with a group of US theatre students. They loved it! Nice mix of drama games, warmups, improv and text work. Very interactive and extra efforts were made to ask about the student's prior experience to tailor the workshop. No wasted downtime so good value for the two hours. The students were buzzing when they came out; lots of laughter and high energy. Look forward to hopefully returning with another group someday!

"Wicked day out "

We had a great experience on Wednesday. We attended Danceworks for a musical theatre masterclass before heading to watch Wicked at Apollo Victoria Theatre.

The whole booking process was very smooth and Adam's communication was great. We are looking to book a similar experience again for next year.

"Fantastic experience!"

Our children (and parents/carers!) had the most fantastic experience this past Tuesday. We attended Danceworks for a musical theatre masterclass before heading to watch Wicked at Apollo Victoria Theatre.

The whole booking process was very smooth and Adam was very communicative and understanding of any requests that were given to him - very professional indeed.

The workshop with Tanya at Danceworks was brilliant. Tanya was incredibly experienced and built good relationships with our children. They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and from conversations they loved what was offered and wanted to do it all over again. The structure of the workshop was excellent and was well suited to the age range of our pupils (6-16). Tanya was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable in her craft. The only concern I had was that Danceworks thought the workshop was 2-4pm when it was booked from 2:30-4:30pm; Tanya had the correct timings yet the studio did not. This worried me at first however it did not impact on what was offered and we still got the same amount of time.

The production was sensational and was loved by all. The seats were ideal - incredible value for money. The staff at Apollo Victoria Theatre were beyond helpful and it was clear there was excellent communication between the theatre and Theatre Workout.

We originally were going to organise transport with Theatre Workout however this did not happen due to the coach we needed being booked (we were not quick enough to book it so is no fault of Theatre Workout). We are glad we didn't though as we found a coach company that did the same return trip for over £400 cheaper; it might be worth looking at alternative companies as this is quite a significant difference.

Overall, we were exceptionally pleased with the trip and we will absolutely be booking with Theatre Workout again. Thank you Adam!
