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.

BWW Review: CINDERELLA, London Palladium
After an almost 30-year absence, a star-studded pantomime, mounted by Qdos, returned to the London Palladium last night with well-known names including Julian Clary as Dandini, Paul O'Grady as Baroness Hardup, and Amanda Holden as The Fairy Godmother on the bill. A big set with even bigger production numbers had the audience primed and ready for mass cheers, boos and lots of laughs from start to finish in what can only be described as a spectacular return.
