23rd Jan 22 :: Review: The Snow Queen
A truly amazing experience. It had such a professional feel to it. No need for tremendous scenery and back drops. The sheer passion of every performer grabbed your attention. The live band were amazing too and the fact they were part of the set, really drew you in. It was a pantomime and concert all in one. I will definitely see another All Souls production. Extremely impressed.

I've seen three pantomimes this year and I have to say Cinderella at the Whitby Pavilion was by far the best show I have seen in a long time, from start to finish the fun never stopped and as for Cinderella, who is that girl she was amazing! All the actors were brilliant. Fantastic show well done to you all.

19th Jan 22 :: Review: The Play What I Wrote
If you want a great evening, then this is it. Very funny, especially the sidekick Arthur, I had a fabulous belly laugh throughout the show. Many Eric and Ernie jokes, and mispronounced words and guest star name. Fabulous.

19th Jan 22 :: Review: The Dresser
This afternoon, a friend and I saw production of The Dresser. We were most impressed by the performances of Julian Clary and Matthew Kelly. Matthew Kelly’s portrayal of ‘Sir’ was insightful and seemed to mirror some aspects of Lear’s madness in a sympathetic way. Julian Clary captured the protective concern and empathy with ‘Sir’. Absolutely brilliant ! Congratulations to all concerned.

5th Jan 22 :: Review: Sleeping Beauty
Disappointed to be told before show started that Martyn Knight was unwell and his part would be played by the author and director but we were really lucky as he was so good, funny at ad libs and mistakes, and we were full of admiration for him stepping in as understudy! I have been coming to the panto for years and the belly laughs set me up for the year. I have always enjoyed the rapport between Tucker and Martyn, but Chris was a fun change. The whole of the second half had me in stitches, not least the blow up scene. The cast obviously enjoyed themselves. Particular compliments to Carli Norris and very handsome Ashley Emerson with a lovely voice taking the happy uncritical atmosphere to their hearts. It was one good reason to cheer us all up and look forward to the next pantomime at the Devonshire Park for life after Covid!.

31st Dec 21 :: Review: Professor Brian Cox - Horizons
It seeems that between Leicester and Edinburgh there is no demand for pop culture physicists and their shows. Even Manchester and Leeds have been skimmed over never mind Todmorden Hippodrome. Come on Brian I think you are missing a beat here.

Usually go to a UK panto at Christmas but this one was brilliant and so glad we went to see it before Covid forced us to go home to England a week early. It is up there with the best. Fantastic scenery and lighting.
