Reviews- Dick Whittington

“The best pantomime you will ever see”- The Sentinel. 

The first reviews are in courtesy of The Sentinel, Birmingham Mail and performing arts website, The Stage. Feedback has been fantastic, with everyone thoroughly enjoying the alternative Rock ‘n’ Roll panto format.

The Stage commented: “Fantastic energy, a seriously funny script and a superb cast of actor-musicians.”

They added: “It’s a show that zips along at a cracking, toe-tapping pace. No wonder the opening night audience was on its feet begging for more.”

Birmingham Mail also expressed positive comments: “Dick Whittington is guaranteed to put a smile on your face…… Stafford panto once again stayed true to its fabulous musical heart with actors playing instruments and singing lots of songs.”

Finally, The Sentinel expressed a host of complimentary comments: “This performance of Dick Whittington is like no other in the country.”

They continued: “Sitting silently isn’t an option, as opportunities for audience participation are readily available – you even get a chance to dance and sing along to the last few songs.”

They finished with, “the Gatehouse has truly excelled with this pantomime”.
