Fantastic reviews keep on pouring in for the Gatehouse's panto!
Beauty And The Beast Rock n Roll Panto at Stafford Gatehouse * * * * *
By Justine Halifax
"I defy anyone not to be standing up out of their seats and clapping their hands in the air by the time the curtain falls.
This is a fantastic family festive treat that will appeal to everyone.
It ticks all the classic panto boxes with cheesey jokes, a fabulous dame and sidekick, lots of audience participation and ample opportunities to shout back the usual pantomime lines like “he’s behind you”.
Add to that pyrotechnics, fireworks, a talented cast who act, dance, sing as well as being musicians performing all the tracks live against the backdrop of a great, glittering set"
The Times and Echo also had fantastic things to say about the show:
"For a really rocking pantomime experience this year, you should get on down tot he Gatehouse Theatre in Stafford to see Beauty and The Beast - the Rock 'n' Roll Panto that will rock your socks off.
The Gatehouse rocking panto format is now firmly estabilished following the massive success last year with Dick Whittington. This year is sure to repeat that success with the high energy pulsating performances from the multi talented cast of actors who can sing and play musical instruments. Known in the business as triple threats, this terrific company has the audience from the off as the classic story is played out to the accompaniment of over twenty classic rock 'n' roll songs...
Michael Fletcher is impressive as Prince Promising and the Beast and delights with a superb singing voice which really carries the part....
This is one Christmas treat not to be missed"
