A riot from first line to last bow, Danny Adams leads us through this high octane, fun fuelled festive mayhem of a pantomime leaving EVERYONE howling with laughter. The pantomime at Newcastle Theatre Royal has long been a highlight of the theatre calendar – lavish sets, wonderful costumes and brilliant acting have always been a given, such is the quality that the theatre have always prided itself on. But more recently there has been an extra dimension to this end of year sh

Sunderland Empire’s Panto, Aladdin, is wickedly funny and funnily wicked all wrapped up in fabulous story telling. UK Productions’ pantomime is triumph of tradition packed full of today with some very up to date music, brilliant gags and great dance routines. The story remains true to the usual Aladdin; broke boy finds lamp, becomes rich to try and win the hand of the princess, loses it all and realises there’s more to life than riches. Now that’s the story done with, lets fo

This years Hippodrome Panto from the panto masters Crossroads is Peter Pan, but make no mistake, this is not the usual Pan story. This high-flying festival takes us back to Neverland long after Pan’s last battle with Captain Hook, as Wendy Darling is on a mercy mission to help Peter rediscover his ability to fly. Aided by Tinkerbell, Wendy and the Lost Boys must restore the pixie dust waterfall and bring happiness back to Neverland. Star billing goes to the amazing Christop

Durham Gala’s festive offering this year is Sleeping Beauty, a wonderful, family friendly pantomime packed full of great music and a brilliant cast. Written by Gary Kitching and Directed by Rachel Glover, this story of Briar Rose (Chloe Jane Millar) and her faithful, if somewhat mad, bff Sammie the Dog (Jude Nelson) gives us a few little twists, making it feel more for today without losing the essence of the original. That Briar’s companion is of the canine persuasion is a g

This year’s Billingham Forum panto is Beauty and the Beast, written & directed by Liam Mellor (who also plays Loopy Louie). Liam is possibly the hardest working person in panto with more years’ credits to his name than his tender age would suggest possible. His formula for great panto is to ensure the audience get what they expect and boy he doesn’t let anyone down; fantastic dancing, tick, great choice of songs, tick, villainous anti-hero, tick, daft sidekicks, tick, large

Following a tradition spanning many years, Newcastle Theatre Royal’s annual pantomime is wowing audiences once again, this time in the guise of the perennial favourite Cinderella. It feels almost disingenuous to simply call this show a panto; this is a variety show of the highest order, worthy of a Royal Command performance a la London Palladium. Dancing, singing, comedy, magic, fabulous costumes and the most up to date light & sound show, it is very difficult to find ANYTH
