deedar Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We went up to Sheff. for Xmas and the wife and kids went to see Snow White. They loved every minute of it and said that even though Bobby Knutt was on video screen, he was brilliant. My two London accented kids have been walking around saying "Ayup Knutty" ever since.

Cozzer22 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I just don't think it was a patch on previous pantos at the Lyceum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylady Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Went yesterday - didn't think it was as good as last year's although the dame was brill again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 It was disappointing, compared to last year's which was fantastic. I felt shortchanged; no kiddies were brought up onto the stage, no birthday wishes were read out and there was virtually no audience participation.

powerhaus Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I've heard some kids say it was the best panto they've ever seen. I've only seen this one so can't comment, although I'd love to see Cinderella at the Manor! I agree that dame Damien is great in Snow White - great comic timing, excellent physical comedy and all the best lines. Princey has a good singing voice too. Birthday requests and general hellos are always done - if there are any - and the actors will sing happy birthday. However, you have to tell the staff BEFORE the interval. They don't invite kids onto the stage any more simply because they found it difficult to get kids who wanted to get on (apparently, parents put their kids forward and then the kids refuse on a regular basis). There is some car parking deal. Not sure what it is (first hour free or something) but staff at the box office will tell you or just ask for the duty manager. It's on until 10 January but I think next Sunday's performance is cancelled. Guess you call this a long answer to a short question... Sorry.

gnikojm'i Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 a group of us went to the lyceum one, all of us thought it was great. ive been to a few at the lyceum and this had to be one of the best. ive always found in the past that they recycle the same jokes every year, this year seemed to have a lot of fresh jokes. you cant beat a good panto to get you in the mood for xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
