Panto Fantastic

I had the pleasure of going to the opening night of Nottingham Playhouse's pantomine last weekend. Kenneth Alan Taylor is back for the 25th successive year, donning his dresses, wigs and heels as the ever popular Widow Twanky.

I haven't been to a panto since for about 15 years, and I wasn't sure what I'd make of it...but it was absolutely brilliant!
From the dancing penguins, the 'en masse' Time Warp (just one more time Kenneth!!)
it was a laugh fest from beginning to end. Mr Taylor kept the cast on their feet, adlibbing as only a pantomine great can do, he had the audience (and his players) in stitches.

My personal favourite bit though, had to be the tribute to the other famouse Nottinghamians celebrating their 25 year anniversary, Torvill & Dean's Bolero...absolute genuis!

If you don't have tickets yet, I would highly recommend it. Be it with children, parents, partners or a girly night out - its a great Nottingham night out
