Pantomime recommendations please

[littlemissindulgence]

Hi,

Looking for a good quality amateur pantomime in SE London, where kids are actively encouraged to get involved.

I have grandparents and a 4 year old who would love to go.

Have you been to one last year or know of one coming to SE London this year - I would love to know.

Thanks

Kate

Not a pantomime, but guaranteed to be absolutely magical.

Not amateur, but I highly recommend Greenwich Theatre:

We went last year and it was excellent; quite a small theatre so a nice atmosphere, and a good balance between old panto traditions and new stuff.

I can second the Greenwich recommendation - we've been going for the last 6 years and its fab. Trad panto with sing a longs and shouting, toothy hoofers, splendid dame (who writes it - Andrew Pollard)no "stars" who can't act. Excellent atmosphere - we LOVE it and go with smalls and grands.

And here's a third vote for Greenwich. It was hilarious last year!

Our youngest was three at the time and LOVED it, as did our older children (including a teen!!)

Catford Broadway Theatre - such a good atmosphere. And they have the legendary (in 2001) Richard Blackwood this year. I'm going. Might even take the kids if they're lucky.
