Panto Review : Cinderella at Tyne Theatre & Opera House, Newcastle

We received complimentary press review tickets from Tyne Theatre & Opera House in return for an honest review. Read it here ...

Polish those glass slippers, dust off that pumpkin and get ready to have a ball! And Tyne Theatre & Opera House are not wrong. From start to finish, a good two-and-a-half hours later, we had laughed, sang, shouted out and had a thoroughly good time watching Cinderella, this year's Panto offering at Tyne Theatre & Opera House, one of the city centre theatres in Newcastle, and one that dates back to 1867.

Following the traditional story, there are jokes aplenty, a full array of songs and great performances all around. The 12 Days of Christmas sketch was an absolute hoot.

And it was great to see The Greatest Showman and Baby Shark on stage again too! The live band was fantastic and loved how they didn't just play accompanying music but played there own part in the panto too.

This was our second panto, and third Christmas show this festive season however that didn’t dampen our enthusiasm at all. We had great fun and we can’t wait until 5 January for our fourth and final show this Christmas.
