Monty Panto and the 12(ish) Labours

Monty Panto and the 12(ish) Labours

★★★☆☆ Light-hearted fun

In Monty Panto and the 12(ish) Labours at the Bedlam, mixed messages purposefully run riot. While it is neither quite a panto nor yet a full tribute to Monty Python, it provides solid entertainment from beginning to end.

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.

Beauty & the Beast: The Panto

Beauty & the Beast: The Panto

★★★☆☆ Charming

Beauty & the Beast: The Panto, the Christmas offering from Forth Children’s Theatre, has the appeal of a traditional pantomime. Like many pantos, it lacks a little in subtlety and smoothness, but makes up for it in determination and pizzazz.
