Palladium Pantomime 2023 - Peter Pan

Thanks for the heads up greenandbrownandblue just grabbed one myself. 

Fwiw, I sat row A extreme side last year and whilst the stage was high, I could see pretty much everything - especially as in the panto, they play everything front and centre. I've gone for C3 this time as it's the only one I can buy a single seat for, and if you look at last year's panto thread, people did say the extreme sides of row C were better than row A.

Thanks for this, I had a spare space in my diary with hopes of a second visit to this (hope I enjoy the first visit!!)

Back in good old form this year. Act 1 ended with a great special effect only the palladium can deliver. A tribute to Paul o Grady too.

What I really need to know, does Jennifer sing Holding out for a Hero?

Sat ready in my RV £20 seat ,B32
The view is awful to be honest and I would say A24 and A25 the view because of a piece of scenery meant to be like a ribbon unless you’re 7ft tall not sure you’d see anything much at all.
But my view for £20 is bearable I guess and can listen along!

The running time notice board says
Act 1 1hr 15 mins
Interval 20 mins
Act 2 55mins

And you can film the curtain call!

Interval-The view isn’t great but still enjoying it.
Too be simple there is a piece of scenery blocking the view ,worse in Row A25 no real view at all not just severely obstructed and a guy came and sat there and wasn’t sat down for 10 seconds and stormed off and never came back,guess got a different seat.
If anyone has booked A24-25 I would contact the box office.
The low numbers side does not look quite as restricted.
The show is good ,the Paul O Grady tribute was emotional and Julian did another tribute to Paul by what he does at the end of act 1.

Whoops - I’m getting concerned about sitting in A24/25 next week. I did buy knowing they were ‘severely restricted view’, but was perfectly happy with A1/2 last year. Are they really that bad?

I checked out your photo, thanks for posting. Looks like more of a listening seat than severely restricted view.

There are certain things I missed totally ,ones that could see were in hysterics and I had no idea why!
Also missing the entrances of Julian and Jennifer etc kind of spoiled things.
I mean I didn’t expect a perfect view but think it was the worst view I’ve ever had in a theatre ,hopefully the producers may realise but guess it’s difficult when so many of these seats sold and I am sure they will get complaints from people paying £99 etc.
I mean I know the design is pretty etc but they are losing about 7 ft each side of stage in how they are staging it.

Last year I sat in A24 - cost £22.50 - and my partner had C3 which cost £29.50. I posted on the 2022 Jack And The Beanstalk panto thead at the time that my view was indeed very restricted whereas her seat significantly less so.

Therefore when the £20 seats were announced here I was pleased to get C3 and C4 for us but for the price I would still have accepted row A if no alternative. You do get what you pay for there but only just.

Incidentally the seats in the centre of the front row of the stalls were only recently put on sale and are currently available for most performances @ £99.50.
