Countdown to Crimbo


Hi panto fans!

Well only a few days to go until the big day, we busy getting our mince pies ready for Santa!

We want to say a big thank you to everyone involved with all of our pantos across the country for making this such a great season so far - if you haven't been to see a show yet there is still time!

We have had so many great reviews too which makes all the hard worth so worthwhile.

I hope you like the picture above of our two formidable Uglies on stage at Loughborough Town Hall - they have been having audiences in stitches!

Merry Christmas panto peeps!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!


Hello everyone!

Well even with all of this snow about for our pantos 'the show must go on!'

Despite the freezing temperatures our panto pros have been taking to the stage and keeping audiences warm with plenty of laughs, fun and sing alongs!

So take a trip to one of our shows today for the perfect winter warm up!

Take care

All go in the world of panto!


Good morning panto fans!

Well what a weekend it has been in the world of panto! Our final shows opened - a huge well done to the casts of Sleeping Beauty, Halifax, Jack and the Beanstalk, Porthcawl, and Mother Goose, Leamington Spa.

We also had our gala night for Sleeping Beauty in Reading, it was fantastic - the pic above is our lovely Jane Tucker who plays Azuriel and Joloyn Dixon who stars as Nurse Nanny Nora.

So over the next couple of weeks we will be off to see more shows which will be lots of fun and perfect for getting us into the Christmas spirit!

Bye for now peeps!
