Review: Jack and His Giant Stalk at Brick Lane Music Hall — A Proper East End Treat
A cheeky, old‑school panto bursting with community spirit, Jack and His Giant Beanstalk at Brick Lane Music Hall blends hearty laughs, impressive costumes, and a warm three‑course dining experience inside its beautifully restored Victorian church home. A joyful, mildly saucy night out led with heart by founder Vincent Hayes and a game, quick‑thinking cast.

Review of Cinderella at Hackney Empire
From the moment the glittering curtain rises, Hackney Empire’s Cinderella casts its spell. Clive Rowe’s all-singing, all-dancing panto boasts a huge, high-energy cast, joyous live band and show-stopping magic, from Jade Johnson’s Fairy Godmother to a gasp-inducing flying horse and carriage. With riotous Ugly Sisters, a winning Buttons and a warm-hearted Cinderella, it’s polished, funny and full of festive heart.

Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story – Review
Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story at Charing Cross Theatre is a gloriously queer panto packed with bawdy laughs, dazzling tartan-punk costumes, and THAT yellow kilt moment. Matt Kennedy charms as Bertie, Keanu Adolphus Johnson transforms as the Beast, and Matthew Baldwin’s Dame steals the show in jaw-dropping couture. Naughty but just avoiding crude—book now at charingcrosstheatre.co.uk!

THE LIAR, THE BITCH AND THE WARDROBE
A riotous queer comedy packed with innuendo and musical mischief! Two young lovers escape wartime London to a boarding house for “bad butch boys,” launching a campy, filthy twist on Narnia. Expect Mr Topless, Arselan the lion, and a Beaver with an appetite—plus reimagined show tunes like “Accepting My Depravity.” High-energy performances, clever jokes, and a sweet love story make this two-hour romp unmissable.
