I've been going to the panto here for a few years now, always on the last night. There's normally a large group of us attending of a variety of ages, this year I had my 4 year old god daughter. This panto gets better each year, I didn't stop laughing, and neither did my god daughter. The staff are friendly and very helpful, the prices are also very reasonable. I would recommend to everyone

Well, if you ever want to see a fantastic Panto this is the place to go. I have been to many over the years & have always had the best time with my children. A great place to see plays too, many famous TV celebs have started there careers @ the Coliseum & return to act there. Not sure if it will be this year 2015 or 2016 but the Coliseum will be moving. I am hopeing its still open this year for Panto when I visit from Australia for one last visit.

I took my grandchildren to oldham coliseum last night to watch ALADDIN.We had a great time when we got there but we could of done with a magic carpet to find the theatre.oldham council should put up BETTER signage to get to the venue not just around the corner from it.Better signage from the A62 to the venue it self also the KING ST ROUNDABOUT needs much better exit signs it took me two goes at finding the right exit to the A62 to the M60.Back to the coliseum,the show was outstanding great venue the staff were great and we ALL really enjoyed the evening looking forward to the next one.

I have visited the coliseum on a lot of occasions over the years and they always have something on each week in the year for everyone. We went to the pantomime in December with all our family 11 of us in all ranging from 5yrs old to 70yrs and we had a great night. Reasonable prices and parking nearby it is a wonderful theatre and well may it continue.

Oldham colliseum theatre is a real gem , not just in the northwest of England but on an international stage. 130 years old and still a benchmark for even the best the country has to offer, Wonderful architecture and historical feel to this old lady. The town itself has suffered a period of ill fortune due to govermental austerity, but, has insitue, a multi million pound revamp in progress. It plans to modernise many of the areas direcly accessible from The Colliseum. With a plethora of bussiness enquiries already inundating the council and an exstensive metrolink network to all parts of The local region and exciting rebuilding in progress, Oldham WILL return has the oustanding hub of northern entertainment it once was.

Went to see Aladdin on Saturday with our four grandchildren aged from 4-9, all of them were mesmerised from start to finish. Finetime Fontayne once again led an excellent cast who entertained the adults as well as the children. This was our 6th ( I think I've counted right) visit and they seem to get better every year. See you next year!The cost of £88 for two seniors and four children is value for money I think but £2.50 for a small tub of ice cream ie £10 for four felt like a rip off, which I why I took off 1 star.

Undoubtedly the highlight of Oldham, which is unfortunately lack lustre. The theatre is charming with staff that clearly enjoy their jobs and want to be there- this makes all the difference. The bar before and after shows has a good atmosphere and worth visiting to see the cast post show. They produce engaging work and I'd like to see more in the future.

Oldham Rep (as many know it) seems to manage and thrive despite its surroundings, visit on a midweek night and other than a bar which is open( you can tell because all the smokers are out on the pavement) most other buildings close by are shuttered and darkBut go through the door and see Our Day Out..the Musical ..full of teenagers..bright stars of the future ..all of them portraying an 'edge' which reminds us of many of the teenagers we know, add into the mix a school outing, a group of teachers like we used to know, a theatre which is recently refurbished and is clearly well run and a programme of future events where there are many to try to get to see in the near futureGet the picture..go see ..you will not be disappointed!

At the Coliseum Theatre Oldham to see brilliant production "Our Day Out" starring Claire Storey Russell Richardson Adam Barlow and Samantha Siddall a funny often touching thoughtful musical with Mrs Kay and her Progress class.With such talented youngsters on stage - makes a feel good night at the theatre. Catch it if you can before 27 September.

What a crap hole this has become... Everything i remember that was ace has shut down and it's just full of of takeaways. Best to just get the tram to manchester... Oldham council has killed this place with their excessive business rates and parking charges. Even trying to kill the Coliseum with their evening car parking charges. Best avoided unless your visiting the Coliseum.I highly recommend the coliseum, had some fab evenings out here..... And their christmas panto is grea t:-)

This theatre is very well known for the actors it's helped on the way to success and it's no wonder. I've tried out the acting classes and they were great, even if I wasn't. There is a great atmosphere here, lots of good value shows. The Chicago production was outstanding and the pantomimes are much better than the ones in Manchester, in my opinion, as long as you don't want big names. There is a nice cosy bar too.

Recently visited to watch Avenue Q. A friend was also with us who has seen this at a number of venues and commented that this was as good of any of the previous times he'd seen it. Also the pantomine here is always one of the best around. Working in Manchester my company used to go to the Manchester theatres for panto trip, but after booking late one year and being unable to get in, had to go to Oldham. Never looked back, staff have requested that we go back to Oldham each year instead now!
