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!
-
Aladdin, Shaw Theatre – Review
A great-looking and truly contemporary panto with nifty dance routines and familiar songs to tap your feet along to.
-
Robin Hood, The Tramshed – Review
A fun, thoroughly modern Christmas pantomime
-
Cinderella and the Beanstalk, Theatre 503 – Review
A smart, funny and affectionate homage to the traditional pantomime.
-
Treasure Island, the Curse of the Pearl Necklace, Above the Stag – Review
A rip-roaring pantomime packed with innuendo and some extremely close-to-the-bone gags, so (knowingly) bad that it was good
-
Billy the Kid, Rosemary Branch Theatre – Review
A fun, silly, intimate Christmas panto. Definitely worth trying to get a ticket, but remember the front row is only for the brave...
-
Pride & Prejudice: The Panto, Cockpit Theatre – Review
A brilliantly funny adaptation of a classic Austen novel, which faithfully honours the original story while adding some hilarious contemporary references.
-
Sleeping Beauty – An Adult Pantomime, Hen and Chickens Theatre – Review
Filthy but delicious. A fun way to spend an evening out with your friends and most definitely away from your kids.
-
Buttons – Another Cinderella Story, Rosemary Branch Theatre – Review
This is panto at it’s very best. If you see one pantomime this Christmas, make it this one!

Dick Whittington, Theatre Royal Stratford East – Review
This unabashedly wacky and high spirited take on a Christmas classic is lots of fun.
