What Did We Think of Jack and The Beanstalk?
We LOVED it! Every member of the cast gave 110%, Dame Gertie was outstanding, and the strongest dame we have seen this panto season.
Fleshcreep gave the best villain vibes, with plenty of boos and hisses
Daisy The Cow was the cutest cow i’ve seen as part of a pantomime, and the costumes are AMAZING, Sue King is such a talented costume designer.
One of the winning aspects of this theatre is the table style seating, meaning you have plenty of room for drinks and very reasonably priced sweets, and when its time for audience participation, you can stand up and get your groove on!
