Theatretrain Reviews 

Fantastic show, such a talented bunch of children and huge credit to the wonderfully supportive staff who put the show together. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another wonderful show from Theatretrain Wrexham. Oklahoma was wonderful from start to finish. The children sounded wonderful and it was engaging throughout. To have so many children from all the age ranges on the stage together was wonderful to see, it was all so slick. My 2 year old didn’t move a muscle and was enthralled from start to finish. My son has thoroughly enjoyed the rehearsals and enjoyed show day so much he wanted to do it all over again today. Thank you to Steve and the wonderful team at Theatretrain Wrexham.

Our daughter has been attending Theatretrain Harborne for 4 and a half years, the increase in her confidence in that time has been amazing. Mel and the team have been supportive from the start. She loves going every week and has pushed herself to do things we couldn’t have imagined. We are especially of proud of her performance at the Royal Albert Hall. TT is such an important part of her life, with the skills she has now and the friends and memories she’s made I highly recommend it!

TheatreTrain Harborne
My son, Victor, has been with this company for about 3 years now. His level of confidence and self esteem have increased significantly, and he’s improved his communication too. Overall, this is a great experience for him and we will continue attending. Thank you Mel and Anna.

Theatre Train Harborne deserves 5 million stars! Not only do the young people here learn to act, sing, and dance—putting on numerous outstanding performances—but they also learn patience, respect, positivity and so much more.

The leader, Melanie Dykes, is a true inspiration. She leads with such passion, continually motivating and encouraging the students. She notices every individual's unique strengths and offers the right challenges to optimise their personal growth. The award ceremonies beautifully build up each valuable member of the group, celebrating diversity and giving everyone such a strong sense of belonging.

Theatre Train Harborne is where everyone is accepted and cherished for who they are. 💖

A huge congratulations to everyone at Theatre Train Mold on a fantastic performance of Welcome to Oklahoma! The dedication, passion, and commitment of the staff really shone through, and it’s clear how much hard work goes into giving the performers such an amazing opportunity to shine. The cast were brilliant, and the whole production was a joy to watch.

Harry absolutely loved playing Curly and has been encouraged and supported every step of the way. This role has meant so much to him, and he will miss being Curly so much. Thank you to everyone at Theatre Train for helping create such a wonderful experience and so many special memories.

My daughter has been at Theatre Train Harborne for just over a year and she absolutely loves it! Mel is outstanding! Her passion, love and care for the arts and the kids is unmatched. She pours her whole heart into this group and it shows. Anna has also been truly wonderful and the two of them are a power couple!

Its such a wonderful group for all the kids to be a part of. Seeing their confidence and skills grow is so beautiful.

Thank you Mel, Anna and the rest of the TT group for giving these youngsters a safe place to be who they truly are and find their tribe!

My daughter attends Harborne TT! Mel makes sure all students are welcome and part of a family! The shows and every performances we have seen have been fab ensuring all students get a part to show their skills. Would highly recommend.

Love & Gratitude
Theatre Train Colchester has been one of the best investments we have ever made for our children.
The team is professional, caring, supportive, and passionate about helping children grow in confidence, creativity, communication, and teamwork. Both of my children have developed so much since joining. They have become more confident, expressive, and willing to step outside their comfort zones.
What I appreciate most is that every child is encouraged and valued. The atmosphere is positive, welcoming, and inspiring, and the teachers create a safe environment where children can learn, perform, and have fun.
As a parent, I am truly grateful for everything the team does. Theatre Train has given my children skills and experiences that will benefit them for life.
Thank you to everyone at Theatre Train Colchester for your dedication, hard work, and the positive impact you have on so many young people. Highly recommended!

My child goes to Theatretrain. The staff make him feel so welcome and safe when there. He cannot wait to go back each week as he has so much fun. Thank you to all staff for welcoming my child and letting him express himself. The show they've just put on was brilliant! Well done everyone!

Just got home from watching a fabulous show by Theatretrain. My daughter has only been going for a few months but absolutely loves it. I was so proud of her tonight on stage doing Oklahoma . 100% cannot recommend Theatretrain enough

My daughter Cobie goes to TheatreTrain Bristol on a Saturday run by Sue and her wonderful team. She absolutely loves going and enjoys every minute. We always get a repeat performance back home of everything she has learnt. Its really helped with giving a bit more confidence and learning new skills. Thank you to all the TheatreTrain Bristol team for making Cobie's weekend so enjoyable.

The Loughton branch running AMAZING classes, my child enjoys them so much.
The end of year production was incredible so much hard work and effort put in by the staff and children both. All of us adults were gleaming with pride and joy and probably a few tears.
Thank you to Jack, Gill, Jess and everyone in the team x

Colchester Theatretrain
A fantastic enterprise that nurtures the children’s creativity and enables them to perform in a way they never thought possible. The staff are friendly, professional and clearly dedicated. My child’s confidence has grown immensely, going from standing in the back of the chorus (her choice) with a very small voice, to auditioning for main parts and being comfortable performing in front of 100s of people at the Royal Albert Hall.

Colchester Theatre Train
What a absolute gold mine I stumbled across.
My son n has come on leaps and bounds since joining .
Great for children's confidence 😄
Excellent price
All the amazing staff that make these shows happen 😁

My 4 children have attended Hertford and Ware Theatretrain over the past 10 years, and 3 of them still go today. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the warm, family atmosphere - it really is such a welcoming and supportive environment.

The staff are absolutely fantastic. They are caring, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping every child grow in confidence. My youngest struggles with anxiety, and thanks to their patience and support, she has come out of her shell so much that she now confidently performs on stage. Seeing that transformation has been incredible.

Over the years, my children have had so many amazing opportunities, including performing at the Royal Albert Hall, as well as taking part in a variety of other productions and performances. They have loved every minute of it.

Theatretrain has also helped them build lasting friendships and given them a fun, creative outlet that gets them away from their iPads and engaged in something they truly enjoy.

A special mention has to go to Shannon. She is amazing! Always smiling, approachable, and supportive to both the children and parents. She goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome 🫶

I couldn’t recommend Hertford and Ware Theatretrain highly enough. It has given my children confidence, friendships, unforgettable experiences, and a real love of performing.

Thank you ❤️

Theatre train is such a wonderful experience for my son. He has been there for four years and absolutely loves the ladies who teach him and he has learnt so much and has so much confidence performing!
