Here's what the public thought of the show! 

During December 2002 and January 2003 we invited you to send in your comments about CINDERELLA, our brilliant panto!

I have to say this was a truly fan-dabi-dozi production, the Krankies just made this a great panto as they always do , songs were great especially the ketchup song at the end .

I found the whole show absolutely brilliant, I go to the Pavilion Panto every year and every year it just gets funnier and funnier, I am very much looking forward to going to this years panto performance of Pinocchio.  I'm sure that will be triple fandabi-dozi!

It was brilliant and very funny! 

I did not like Cinderella until I'd seen this pantomime and I wish I could BE IN THE NEXT PANTOMINE!

I've never noticed this section before but thought I would write a note to say that we come to see any show with Gary Hollywood or the High Road gang in it. 

They are all great actors and I totally agree with some of the comments I read under the Cinderlla section about Gary Hollywood. He is absolutely gorgeous (got a red head Ronan thing about him!) and is a great actor (always has us in stitches with his dance moves and cheeky expressions. He really should think about getting a website of his own up and running (or a link on the Pavilion site) as I know plenty of people who have the same opinion about him and would just love some more info and pictures of him.

We will be coming along to see Doon at the Buroo with my colleagues on the 4th April 2003, so please ask him to give the girls from Allstaff Recruitment a big wave. Hope his career is going well and we hope to see him on television a lot more in the near future. From Tracie & Jo in Paisley- 2 more of your biggest fans!!!

I thought the pantomime this year was absolutely Fan-Dabi-Dozi!!! 

But I would say that as my daughter was one of the junior dancers in the show. She had an absolute great time during the rehearsals and throughout all the shows. She's now looking forward auditioning for next year's show. Well done to all the cast - you were all superb - keep up the good work! 

P.S. One of the dancers, Jenny, was going to give my daughter her email address so they could keep in touch but she does not have it yet - could the Webmaster pass our email address/contact details onto her?

Hi there! It's Lesley again!

I sent a message before and I'm so glad it got printed. I was the one who sent that long message for Gary and I had to send another one 'cos I totally forgot to say 'well done' to the rest of the cast! 

They were great and so were the dancers and Gary is a great singer! I hope the Pavilion will keep the same cast for next years panto as they are the best! 

All the cast are really good at their parts and can I just say if Gary is reading this I was there that night when he was going up the stairs at the ball and nearly fell. I could see he was dying to laugh and I felt sorry for him when the 2 ugly step sisters were slagging his hair 'cos I don't think there is anything wrong with his hair!  I know they were only joking but it's something I had to say,

Unfortunately  can't make it again so I just want to wish all the cast the best of luck for their last night.  They truly are a credit to the Pavilion. Thanks for putting my last message on the Internet,  I was so chuffed.

(Webmaster's Note: A pleasure - the Pavilion Theatre website is managed by real people and is a real live on-line community bringing real live Variety to Glasgow and the World!).

I certainly am a fan of Gary, I came 3 times last year to see him too. I managed to get all my friends to like him now as well, they always did they just hadn't seen the panto, but they don't like him as much as I do!, No one does, so good luck to all cast on the 25th. Give everyone as good a night as I did!! 

Thanks again, I'll be there next year!! 

For Gary  Kiss, kiss kiss....

I thought the show was very, very, very funny and it was hilarious as well. 

Especially The Krankies. They are very, very, very funny and very brilliant at it.  I'm glad I got Janette Krankies autograph dressed as wee Jimmy Krankie. 

If The Krankies are there doing another pantomime I will be definitely will be there next year in The Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow. 

I think Wee Jimmy Krankie as wee Buttons is sweet and cute.

Just to say that this years pantomime is the best ever - just what a panto should be and even worth seeing twice!

It got off to a spectacular start and the high standard continued through to the end. 

The costumes and scenery were very impressive and The Krankies were at their best! 

Well done - see you next year!

What a show! We all enjoyed it and came out with sore sides with laughing. 

My 7 year old is still going about the house shouting  "hello ello ello" to which my other children are shouting "wotcha dodger"!

The Krankies are brilliant. See you all next year.

The Krankies are the best at PANTO. A very enjoyable evening, lots of laughter. Jeanette stole the show for me, especially in her Madonna costume.

I'd just like to thank the stars of the show and the staff, who were really cheerful and kind. I really enjoyed the show, and although I took some stick from my friends because I'm 18, I don't regret coming to see the show! 

I'll be coming to see Cinderella again on the last night. Good luck to everyone for the rest of the journey! See you all on the 25th!

 PS - Special hello to the Krankies who I served breakfast to in La Bonne Auberge (Holiday Inn) across from the Pavillion! Hope the poached eggs were ok!

I have more of a question than a comment....(although it WAS an excellent performance!!) I was visiting from the U.S. and this was my 1st experience with a panto... 

Question: A song was sung (by the 'real' prince) while holding Cinderella's slipper. Can you tell me the name of the song he was singing? I had never heard it before, but would like to see if I can locate it here. It was a ballad type of song.... Can you help? 

Thanks so much!

(Webmaster's Note: We've passed your question to the Musical Director at the Pavilion and hopefully you'll get an answer soon!).

Hi there, I have been to see Cinderella 3 times already and I'm coming again on January 11th at the 1.30pm show.

I really only came to see Gary Hollywood because he's great! Here's a short message for him: 

Hi there Gary I'm Lesley, I have met you before because you used to go out with my big sister Alison Graham from Bellarmine.  I think you went out with her though I'm not sure but you definitely know her. 

I would like to meet you again, I seen you on ginger nuts on hogmanay and can I just tell you that you are absolutely gorgeous, my friends don't think so but I tell them all to 'shutup' 'cos i think you are lovely! You also used to hang around with my friends big brother, Thomas Allison, who u probably remember, 

I remember meeting you up the town once with my mum and you were talking to her. I've been trying to get pictures of you on the internet but I cant find any, you're quite secretive!  I think but that's a good thing though!

i'll be coming to the panto again on sat 11th Jan 2003 at 1.30pm or 2.00pm,cant remember what time!,

Well last time I was there I waved to you while you and chris were singing Unbreakable and I think you smiled back! You probable weren't but I like to think you were!

I'm trying to learn how to wolf whistle so if you get a whistle while on stage alone it's from me, but if you don't I still love you!!! Id like you're autograph but unfortunately I doubt I'll get it!! 

See you at the show! You are the greatest actor ever and I'm your number 1 fan!

(Webmaster's Note: Garry - we think you have a fan!!).

I think that the Pavilion Theatre is on to a winner every year they hire the Krankies for pantomime.

Last night's show was fantastic and the Set, Costumes and Lighting were excellent, a very big well done to the Production team.

Please bring the Krankies back again for the 2003/2004 Pantomime!

We came to the first night of the panto. Did we enjoy it??? Oh yes we did!!! 

We loved all the things which went wrong - and the professional way everybody dealt with them.  We came to the first night last year and deliberately booked the first night this year. Well done to everyone - on stage and behind the scenes - professional as ever.

Hasn't "Buttons" got a great wee figure??!! 

We'll be there next year. 

WELL DONE TO ALL!!!
