Reviews

“We all need a bit of magic at Christmas, and when it comes to pantomimes, they don’t come much more magical than Aladdin....There are colourful characters, hilarious jokes, brilliant costumes and great songs - and, of course, lots of magic.”

— Becky Jones - Leicester Mercury

“Aladdin rises high with an enjoyable take on this evergreen classic from the panto pantheon.
”

— Sally Jack - British Theatre Guide

Reviews

“This stunning family-friendly show moves along at a good pace, never sagging, it’s just delightful fun.

Cinderella is fabulous festive fun for all ages, the jokes will get you laughing, and the songs will get you clapping: You won’t want the magic to end. Book a ticket, you’ll have a ball.”

— Phil Creighton - The Wokingham Paper

“If you haven’t been to the panto before think slap stick humour, full on glitz, great music and dancing, audience participation, and some cheeky jokes thrown in for the adults. Reading’s Cinderella has that all in spades. You’ll be tapping your toes, shoulder dancing and singing your way through the show with a great set of songs and energetic performances all round.”

Reviews

“Imagine Theatre’s production is another triumph for the panto-makers, returning to Inverness for another year of festive frolics, as they find an adroit balance between the story’s romantic, fantastical core and the cream-throwing, pun-slinging, villain-booing trappings of the medium.”

— Kyle Walker - What's on North

“My ears are still ringing from the noise of the screams which came from the excited youngsters in the audience, but that noise is music to the cast of Beauty and the Beast.
The louder they scream, the more they know they’ve got the script right
