Snow White @ The Hoxton Hall Review
Celebrating the re-opening of the Hoxton Hall, the venue welcome its first Panto having closed for restoration purposes. A Brother’s Grimm classic, Snow White has gripped the imaginations of children and adults alike for centuries with its ‘good always triumphs over evil’ ethos. With a dose of villainy, a touch of comedy and a sickly sweet romance, Snow White most definitely makes, on paper, for a dramatic night out at the theatre.

Robin Hood @ The Stratford East Theatre Royal Review
The heroic tale of a boisterous protagonist who steals riches from the affluent to help his impoverished community survive the day to day struggles of extortionate tax rates is one that has resonated throughout the centuries. Said to have been penned in the late 15th Century, the mythical being has inspired many with his modest beginnings, sense of adventure and his drive to challenge the ruling classes. Robin Hood couldn’t be a better panto to be reimagined for the stage this year with it’s social, emotional and political intentions.
A Classical Selection @ The Coliseum Review
A night of stunning classical ballet from around the world, Carlos Acosta: A Classical Selection is an elegant work of artistry. Clear and refined the selection highlights just how talented a dancer Acosta was, and still is today. Known worldwide for his unique style and grace as a dancer Acosta leaves you feeling every speck of emotion when he is up on stage.
