That is the worst panto cast photograph I’ve ever seen What they've done with Danielle's face is the worst part. She looks strangely ill, the colouring is really bizzare on both their faces, but they appear to of done something additional to her, she looks so bizzare! |

To be fair they are both very pale in real life, it’s what they’ve done with her hair that looks odd. |

To be fair they are both very pale in real life, it’s what they’ve done with her hair that looks odd. It's not pale though, it's like a grey tonw on their skin. It's more prominent on her, but it's bizzare with the bright pink background! It's almost like the background and costumes are colour but they are in black and white. 😂 I agree the hair looks weird too. |

How awful would M57 of the upper circle be (pretty much the last seat in the theatre? Don't have a strong interest so I don't want to pay much. but I'd love to see Charlie.

It's on the aisle too which is always nice for getting to the bar (The Long Bar at the Palladium can get very crowded) I wouldn't recommend if you have a really bad fear of heights but otherwise, it'll provide a reasonable view for the price and won't feel ridiculously distant. |

Nice to hear! I'm currently deciding between M57 in the upper circle and E38 in the stalls which is 15 pounds more, but is marked as side view. I would probably prefer E38 due to it being in the stalls and seeing facial expressions, but wonder how the view would suffer.

I would probably prefer E38 due to it being in the stalls and seeing facial expressions, but wonder how the view would suffer. Simply to be closer and feel more part of the panto I would take the stalls seat. Personally, I always choose the closer seat and deal with a bit of a side view. Don't forget Charlie has thighs made for slapping...so you'll want to get as close as possible! |

Having been in the third row for Hello, Dolly, I can vouch for that! He's the main reason I'm going so seems like the closer and maybe a little restricted is better. |

Good Lord. How in the name of Bernadette Peters have they managed to make Danielle Hope look like a female impersonator?

Can anyone tell me what the running time is likely to be judging by previous years ?

Looks like someone beat me to E38, so I'd be going with M57 in the Upper Circle. One more question before I purchase, I have a pretty good sense of humor and also find humor in silly things, but will this have plenty of jokes understandable for me, someone from the States, or is it very much British humor that might be hard for me to understand?

Juian Clary's every line is a double entender which will fly over the childrens head but pay attention. It is every line. Paul Zerden's routine will be very entertaining and it does not matter what country you are from. He won America's Got Talent. Charlie Stemp will be the butt of Julian's lines most of the time. If you know the Barnaby character in Hello Dolly I would expect his prince to be similar. But add in dancing he is an excellent dancer. The Wicked Queen is the Wicked Queen she and Julian will go at each other. If you have never seen panto read the reviews first it is quite a different kind of humor. And Julian is very very naughty. |

If you've ever seen an episode of the classic British sitcom 'Are You Being Served?' and laughed, you'll love panto. That show is basically a pantomime set in a department store. |

So thrilled to see the palladium panto again, my family went last holiday season, without a doubt the best panto and one of the funniest shows i've ever seen (it sure beats the Wycombe and Windsor and Kilburn ones  ). Julian Clary will likely be as hysterical as evrr and can't a wait to see Dawn Frech (longtime fan),Charlie Stemp is always a win and i'm sure Danielle will great and you gotta love Nigel! |

I don’t think i’ve seen a panto since i was about 6 years old- do you think i’d enjoy this or would it just be for the kids?
Is it one of those things like in Disney moves- there’s some jokes that only adults will understand, but would go straight over the kids’ heads?

Is it one of those things like in Disney moves- there’s some jokes that only adults will understand, but would go straight over the kids’ heads? Both times I've been, there has been way more adults than children. Scrap that, barely any children in the audience. With Julian in the cast, it's adult jokes that would go over a child's head but they take up the show so much it would make taking a child almost pointless. It's also got alot of sexual innuendo in both his jokes and the other cast members jokes. So you'll have a blast with the jokes and the comedy, it's a great panto if the previous two are anything to go by.  |

Last years was a real spectacle. Funny, great effects and a real feel good forget yourself show.

Last year was one of the most fun nights I had in the theatre! It was just so much fun. May of been the wine, but I had a hoot!
Cinderella was just amazing, and probably the best production they had yet. There was a flying carriage, horses, footman and Cinders, unicorns running through the audience it was just so extra and I lived for it!
