Chemo Savvy

Chemo Savvy

★★★★☆ Uplifting

Chemo Savvy, from Gilded Balloon and Ryan Dewar at the National Museum Auditorium in the Fringe’s last week, is an exploration of life and death that ends up as far more cheery (and far more touching) than you have any right to expect.

The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan

The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan

★★★★☆ Highflying

The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan turns out to be about 98% pantomime and 2% Peter Pan, but is tremendous fun nevertheless.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

★★★★☆ Reassuringly funny

The ‘King’s pantomime’ may have moved across to the Festival Theatre this year, but little else has changed in this year’s offering of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty

★★★★☆  Comforting

Familiar routines, eye-catching gimmicks and cheeky swagger are naturally present in Sleeping Beauty, this year’s pantomime at the King’s. And if something is unsurprisingly missing, it does pretty well in making up for it.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

★★★★☆ Spectacular:

Goldilocks And The Three Bears, this year’s King’s pantomime, is an odd creation in many ways, but it retains enough of the tried and tested formulas to convince – to say nothing of good old-fashioned variety stardust.
