Beauty and the Beast
★★★★☆ Sparkling:
Beauty and the Beast comes to the King’s in pantomime form for the first time since 1946 in a show that continues a classic run of hits – and is sticking around well into January next year.
Canned Laughter
★★★★☆ Canny:
Pathos and superbly performed comedy combine in Canned Laughter at the King’s all week until Saturday.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
★★★★☆ Comic spectacle:
Professional pantomime is not the place to go for new theatrical techniques or stunning insights into the human condition.
Aladdin
✭✭✭✭✩ Flashes of brilliance:
Shiny, snappy and energetic, Aladdin at the King’s sacrifices some of the traditional interaction of a panto, but remains a highly satisfying production.
