Who's been? Who's going? Where? And good?

Me and daughter saw Cinderella at Preston Guild Hall last weekend, with Phoenix Nights' Den Perry as Baron Hardup.

Great show, good value, lots of laughs for the grown-ups as well as the kids, but it went on longer than the last Lord Of The Rings film with about four false endings.

That Buttons character is a bit of a sap though, eh?

Not been for years and years.
Last was Cinderella at the Orchard in Dartford. Linda Lusardi starred. Forget who else.

Aladdin in basinstoke.
Son loved it but I had never heard of any body in it. There was a fat old bloke who was in Dr who and there was a few dr who jokes. Needed wife to tell me he was dr who.

Went to see the the panto at the Hackney Empire with a bunch of mates, no kids. It's apparently well known as being a really good production, and relying on that rather than having Mr T or someone who used to be off of the telly.

It was bloody great fun. Plenty of jokes in there for adults, really good set and fantastic ogre. Great beer just down the road at The Cock, too.

Currently sat (during intermission) at Aladin, in Cannock.
I keep nodding off. 😕
Wife's not happy.

Saw Dick McWhittington in Glasgow on Boxing Day. Great fun and worked well on two levels. John Barrowman seemed to enjoy playing Dick. The Krankies were surprisingly entertaining aside from Jimmy Krankie in a G string, the image of which will scar me for life....

We've been the last couple of years to the hexagon in reading and seen aladdin and I think Cinderella. Both times starring Justin fletcher, who I know is Marmite around here but was absolutely superb, taking the piss out of himself mercilessly.

Went to Shrewsbury to see Sleeping Beauty and spent all but 10 minutes on the landing with a crying 4 year old.

Went to the local Panto (Leatherhead) for Cinderella. No known names but it was a good laugh.

Cinderella at the Dancehouse Manchester £20 for a family ticket, suitably cheesy, same script as the "posh" versions but more of a "community" feel
