Review: GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS, Richmond Theatre

Let me start this review with a confession - I’m an American who had never seen a panto before last night, and I had no idea what to expect from Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

BWW Review: DICK WHITTINGTON, Manchester Opera House

Traditionally, Dick Whittington tells the tale of a man who travels to London to find his fortune.

But despite keeping the audience laughing, there's no real plot, just a series of moments pieced together by songs.
