With first performances on Saturday 7 December, the show's press night fell on Wednesay 11 December and the reviews are coming in.The first to appear was a glowing 5***** video review from Alex Belfield at Celebrity Radio of "the perfect panto", while the print reviews have echoed his views of a show that has everything you'd expect from a panto, delivered by a first-rate cast at the top of their side-splitting game!
You can read/see them all below and I'll add more as they're published. Meanwhile the response on Twitter has been similarly enthusiastic...
"Hilarious! I've woken up with face ache - MKTheatre's panto with @itreallyisjoe & @leemeadofficial is squirmingly silly and we LOVED it. Laughed from start to finish. The whole cast are complete stars." (Tara Dolby @taradolby)
"Great night out at #Aladdin @MKTheatre tonight. Whole cast was brilliant but @leemeadofficial & @itreallyisjoe were on fire - terrific chemistry and so hysterically funny! Fab job @EdwardCMusic & band too." (M Gateshead @GMaria101)
"What a fabulous time we had at Aladdin at @MKTheatre. First show at MK for my granddaughter Betsy-Rose and she loved it being at the front. @itreallyisjoe and @leemeadofficial what a brilliant double act. We laughed until we cried." (Michele Copeman @glitzytalons)
"Swept up in silliness during Aladdin @MKTheatre starring @leemeadofficial and @itreallyisjoe. Plenty of plot, puns, pandemonium (and pandas?!) to keep audience members of all ages entertained. miltonkeynes #pantomime #theatre #festivefun" (Georgina Butler @GeorginaLButler)
