MK theatre puts on the best pantomime outside of the Palladium … let’s be honest you can’t compete with that production and venue right?
2023/4 production was excellent, I went late to see the show on Thursday 11th with older family, TBH I shouldn’t have taken time off work but OMG had Brian or is it Bryan Conely nailed it. He was amazing, I felt the energy from him but let’s not forget the rest of the team. Yes it was getting towards the end of the run, it was a matinee performance but boom were they brilliant.
All I can say is apologies the older audience with some junior school attendees didn’t interact as much as we should have until the very end … Bryan and the four children up on stage inspired me ok … the comical genius by Bryan so quick witted incredible if you were there you experienced something. Especially that little girl Hope 3 years old … she made me shed a tear.
Well done MK theatre you smashed it again ... Read more

Wonderful!
I felt that it was a little underrehersed but this is traditional with pantos and we know that each one gets better as the days go by. The big names are often juggling numerous things and don't get a lot of rehersal time with the full cast. However often the mistakes add to the humour. Craig is multi talented (Obviously) and I loved his waspy performance. AGT always put on superb pantos and I love the way they weave magic tricks into the show. Every time I see one, particularly at my favourite theatre Wimbledon, the ingenuity is brilliant. The first half ended with a stunning scene of the flying carriage taking Cinders to the ball - fabulous darling!! Great dancing by the chorous - extremely high standard and all the other characters was great. A little under rehearsed on opening night but still a real treat with the potential to be fabulous!!! Go and see it if you can get a ticket - it was virtually sold out and rightly so. ... Read more

Well what a Show , havent been to a Panto for so long , but what a way to start , fantastic performance by Brian Conley and All the cast . It was a truly magical experience, when you see the Horse and carriage part you’ll understand , I still can’t get my head around how they did it . It is a brilliant show and definitely worth going to watch , a lot of adult innuendos that a lot of the younger audience didn’t quite understand ,awesome show 5 star . ... Read more
