Mother Goose, Wilton’s Music Hall – Review
A tour-de-force panto that does the genre proud. With great performances, live music and a strong moral at its heart, this is a must for the festive season.

Past, present and future collide in the atmospheric Wilton’s Music Hall as Dick Whittington and the colourful cast of Old London Town provide a great evening of family entertainment.

Pride and Prejudice: The Panto, Cockpit Theatre – Review
The best of pantomime meets the best of Austen.

Mirror Mirror, King’s Head Theatre – Review
A very funny and accomplished panto that wears its cleverness lightly.

Jack and the Beanstalk, Hackney Empire – Review
Cheesy but in the best possible sense of the word. Pantomime season is well and truly off to a cracking start!
