The trick to pulling off a really great pantomime is balance.
Festive Theatre Review: Mr Popper’s Penguins, Sale Waterside
In recent years Sale Waterside has built a mighty reputation for its family-friendly Christmas shows, often in association with Pins & Needles Productions, punching well above their weight with the likes of The Bear and Father Christmas.

Theatre Review: The Nutcracker, Liverpool Empire
Theatre Review: I’m a Phoenix, Bitch, HOME, Manchester
