Phipps Bar

A truly beautiful, small, old theatre, full of character, great leg room and views. This is my first time visiting the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth, but it most definitely won't be my last. The style of the theatre fitted in beautifully with the Tiger Lilies ethos. Will be searching out the New Theatre Royal's website regularly to find any other suitable reasons to visit.

We bought tickets to see "Knee Deep in Life" but my friend fractured her spine in an accident the month before. We didn't think we could attend the event as the seats up the top were benches, so I called the premises and spoke with Karen to see if they could resell the tickets. Karen was an absolute star. Karen took my details stating she would move us if the appropriate seats became available nearer the time. A couple of days before the event Karen called to say she had moved us to better seating that would help our friend to be able to join us at the show...and an awesome show it was. Thank you Karen for what you did. Sorry if we embarrassed you with the thank you card and flowers but you deserved it. We can't thank you enough. Thank you also to the entire team. You were all so helpful. Xx.

We've only been to the theatre a few times but, every time, it's been great. The seats we had yesterday had lots of leg room (Stalls, row F), which meant we were more comfortable than at some other theatres. The theatre is beautiful, with so many ornamental features to look at. And the staff are lovely! Not just polite but chatty, too, which I like.
