Great atmosphere, seating and sound
March 03, 2014
My family and I went here for ELF! this past Christmas. The theatre itself is lovely, with comfy seating and great sound quality. We would happily return!
I recommend bringing a snack in your bag as the cookies and drinks are VERY over-priced!

A Quality Evening Out
January 26, 2014
A historic venue, The Grand Theatre is a wonderful place to see a production, either on the Main Stage or in the smaller McManus Theatre downstairs.
The seats are comfortable and the "view" is really quite good when seated virtually anywhere in the house.

A Great Place To Break A Leg
January 08, 2014I have been attending their productions for many years. They are always outstanding. The theatre is a treasure of old London, Canada. It is well run, clean and lots of fun. Subscribe and join in the fun. All of the seats are excellent.

Great venue. Its the small details
December 22, 2013Bought tickets for the show "Elf" over a month in advance. The receipt showed that the tickets would be mailed via snail mail. They never came. We made two separate attempts at calling the box office, even on the day of the show and they were not open. So we took the risk of driving 2 hours to London with... more

London's Professional Theatre
November 30, 2013The Grand Theatre doesn't just offer professional shows. It invests into the community with other projects like: The High School Project (A professional level production for High School Students), The Playwrights Cabaret (Local Playwright Development), etc.

We have had season tickets for the Grand for the past few years, we always enjoy the shows and it's always a fun night out. The theatre itself is well kept and the seats are comfortable. We typically arrive a bit early to get parking, but there is an outdoor lot nearby as well as a parking garage.

A gem of a theatre
November 25, 2013The Grand Theatre continues to impress me with the calibre of performances on offer. Whether it's a popular holiday-themed show at Christmas, a light-hearted musical or a thought-provoking drama, this venue offers quality performances across a broad spectrum of interests. A key feature of the Grand is the pastoral scene on the proscenium arch above the main stage, a nostalgic... more

Great feature for our Annual Business Retreat
November 25, 2013London is so close to home....and our business group was looking for somewhere different for their annual 'retreat'. So switched it up a bit from going to Toronto or Collingwood...and a short drive brought us all to the Station Park Hotel because of its proximity to the Theatre. It became the epi-centre of 3 days of compressed meetings and fun!... more

Thank God London has a proper theatre
November 24, 2013
I have seen at least 3 performances at the Grand, and I'm so happy that London has this gem. It's a gorgeous theatre with a beautiful history and it's own 'ghost story'.
I think it's nice to sit in either the orchestra or the balcony, and if you are looking for group celebration ideas, block seats at a discount and...

A London landmark

Recently saw the dance group that pays tribute to everyone from Gene Kelly to Music Man to Chicago to Michael Jackson. While the stage itself could've been a bit larger for the dancers, they performed flawlessly and gracefully with careful choreography.

There is nothing not to like
August 08, 2013I've been attending plays at the Grand several times a year for many years now, both with friends and with family. December's play is always family-oriented but the remainder of each season is quite eclectic. The historical theatre itself is quite a sight to see.

Excellent theatre
August 05, 2013I find the Grand Theatre very suited for watching a live play. Every seat is a good view and even the balcony. The seats are very comfortable also. My family of 4 had box seats once but I wouldn't recommend because the view is from the side. Otherwise, I would highly recommend seeing live theatre at the Grand!!

A nice change of entertainment-The Grand TheatreLondon
August 03, 2013It has been a while since we had season tickets to the Grand Theatre but for those who are looking for a little change in entertainment, "The Grand" is a great night out and any eye opener to the talented individuals in the industry. Enjoy a pre-show drink or dinner downtown to make the evening even more memorable.

A true night out in London includes one of our excellent restaurants followed by a theatre show at the Grand.
We love going to shows and the staff at the theatre is always very impressive to us.

Great Venue but Weak Playbill
August 03, 2013The Grand is one of the most beautiful theatres I have ever seen. A former opera house, it is quite intimate and cosy. The theatrical offerings are another matter, however. Under Robin Phillips as artistic Director from 1983-84 and then Martha Henry from 1988-1995 the plays mounted were excellent and this professional theatre company was second to none. Since then,... more

The Grand old Grand Theatre
August 03, 2013The Grand Theatre is the grand old lady in London. It has been upgraded to modern standards and is a true gem when it comes to watching plays and one man shows. The acoustics are very good and the orchestra pit is from the bygone era. It is a great venue to see plays at its best.

Mainly a touring house with some local main stage productions.
Excellent quality, comfy seats, beautiful space. Tickets kinda pricey, but thank the gov`t for not supporting our arts communities...oh, but if you want to build ANOTHER hockey arena, here`s the cash....

Expensive amature theatre
July 13, 2013As season ticket holders we've been increasingly disappointed with the performances over the last years. More misses than hits. Kim's Convenience was good but the rest were terribly average with next season looking even sketchier. Don't think we'll be renewing our subscription.

Lovely place for a show of any kind
June 17, 2013I love the old style seating, velvet chairs, and gilded surroundings. There is it a bad seat in the house. The Grand Theatre has a nice variety of family performances, seasonal shows, concerts and dance recitals. I love going there for a few shows a year for a treat.

New artistic director needed
December 17, 2012The Board of the Grand Theatre and its artistic director fail to take any chances to provide the city with something challenging. The best productions are at the Palace theatre while the professional theatre lags behind. We usually find one or two things to enjoy at the Grand; this year, none. Have not been back since last May.

2012/13 season
December 10, 2012My friend and I have now seen two events of this season and are delighted with the program. Opening with Calendar Girls was brilliant move. A lively bright performance set the scene for the coming performances. Costumes and stage settings are very well done and always amaze me. Well done Grand!

Wonderful Theatre - wonderful experiences
December 05, 2012This really is a Grand old theatre. I love the old fashioned balconies, the set decoration, the costuming; I have been to lots of productions both in the main theatre and in the smaller McManus theatre downstairs and it is magical every time. The seats are very comfortable as well and the sight lines are good.

The theater has seen world class performers grace its stage over the decades and has played host to a range of theatrical and artistic works. A large portion of the building was reconstructed in 1978 with historic flourishes from its past retained and restored. Today, the Grand Theatre... more
