The Magical Adventures of Robin Hood
‘The Magical Adventures of Robin Hood'
Following the huge success of last year's pantomime, we
return with a BIGGER and BETTER Brand New Production and a Fantastic All Star
Cast. Starring in his first ever Scottish Family panto is the Hilarious Jim
Davidson as Robin Hood, ably assisted by his Merry Men Colin & Justin fresh
from the Jungle to the Forest…Dean Park as Nurse Ima Poltis will have you in
"Stitches" with her comedy antics! Getting "Stuck" into the role of Friar
(Nip'n) Tuck is Real Radio favourite Cat Harvey. To help Robin on his adventures
we have Stephen Purdon as Will Scarlet and James McAnerney as the BIG loveable
character Little John, Nieve Jennings plays Maid Marion and not forgetting the
traditional panto Baddie The Sheriff of Nottingham is played by Billy Armour
who tries hard to stop Robin ‘Nick, Nick Nicking' from the Rich to give to the
Poor. With a full supporting cast this
production will really "Hit the Target!"
With a Brand New Script, New Stage Sets and Stunning New
Costumes this is sure to be the Best Affordable Family Panto in Town.

I’m a P7 of Forehill Primary and I went to see it on the very last day with my class & school.
It was really good with the Scotland the Brave Remix and the lazer beams.
I’d love to see it again.
i thought this years panto was the best one i have been, i liked the fact that it featured upto date songs and gave budding actors the chance to appear, i would like to know how to get involved myself
This panot was the best panto myself mum and daughter have been to and we have been going to the pavilion for years, Jim Davidson was outstanding and such a laught all his adlibing was great my mum also loves Dean Park WELL DONE AND CANT WAIT TO SEE JIM DAVIDSON IN MARCH.
We have just read Ian Gordons comments and as the parents of one of the child dancers Fiona McGregor we agree with everything he said. For our part the experience Fiona had this year was amazing and as he said it has been the best Panto yet. The professionalism of the cast and all back stage crew who looked after the children was very evident and a pleasure to be part of. We and the 115 family and friends who saw the show at the beginning of January had a great time and would recommend it to anyone. The big thing for us this year was that of the 8 shows we saw every one was different. Jim and Dean had something new every night. Cant wait to see Jims comedy play in March. We would like to thank Ian for a great 2 months and wish the Pavilion all the best for the future.
The McGregors
I would like to thank everyone who supported the Pavilion Panto this year, we fully understand that you had a choice and the weather was against us all, but I have to say that there is no substitute in my opinion of “Panto in a Real Theatre”.
What a cast I had to work with, never in my 33 years at the Pavilion have I worked with a cast that had so much fun on and off stage.
Jim Davidson, a true legend in panto but put him together with Dean Park and they were real fun! New comers Colin and Justin fed off the rest of the cast and the audience and despite being new to panto they worked hard and always gave 110% we couldn’t have asked for anymore. Cat, Stephen, James, Billy , Nieve and the dancers all had so much fun and energy throughout the run and not forgetting the band locked away under the stage for over 2 months, only getting out for Christmas day. Now what about all the kids? it is great to see the commitment, not only from them but the parents as well who had to spend their time getting them to and from the theatre without missing a performance. Something else I must thank all my staff and performers, not one of them missed a performance due to the bad weather or the annual panto flu that seemed to hit everyone at some time. It is great to get commitment from everyone as not all shows in the city were so lucky!
Also a big thank you to everyone who worked on the production, we can all be proud of what we produced in house with the minimum of budgets, we stood out well and the production values were I am sure the highest in Glasgow.
How are we going to better this next year?… Watch this space as we have a great show lined up for next year which will be announced soon, but after this year be sure to get your tickets early as word of mouth has spread this year that we had “ The Funniest Show in Town”
Again I thank you all for supporting the Pavilion the only unsubsidised venue in Glasgow! it is your support that keeps us alive.
Iain Gordon.
General Manager/ Producer.
congrats on your brill show what a laugh a minute!!
Gutted, wanted to leave a message on your forum which i read last week and
now its not there. God, your show was a blast, way better than even I hoped
itd be. My partner and my two teenagers and his boy of ten came and
although we couldnt all sit together as there werent tickets available
together we all loved it! Just loved it all start to finish! Like a big
party and so glad we all came last night as we’re sure it must have been the
best one of all of them. I hoped i’d maybe see Justin and Colin for my girls
but what happened after was better than we all hoped. They were going to
their car and my daughter shouted them and they came back, what lovely
gents, Colin signed a brochure which Id bought while Justin posed for photos
even though two of teh kids were actually crying they were so excited, then
they swapped and Justin did phots and Colin signed. Ive an awful admisssion,
I love them but wasnt sure which was which but we all laughed about that and
then they both gave us a copy of their book from their car and we all hugged
and even the guys seemed a wee bit teary maybe because it was their last
night. You dont know how much this means to our kids particularly Jasmine
who follows all their work on TV and loved them in the jungle. They told us
theyre doing several new shows over the summer but they wouldnt say what it
is but just said a design show and a couple of reality shows. Had us all
wondering and guessing! Anyway what true sports they were to give us their
time and they stole the show with their ‘big faces’ funny moves and laughter
and the bit of the show wth them in tree costumes was funny funny funny.
Youve totally made our year so far, loved the old theatre which Id never
been to before but we’ll all be back thats for sure. Came just to see them
but also fell in love with the other actors and the little guy from River
City had almost as much stage presence as Justin and Colin so Im going to
start watching that on TV now too!
Can I say thank you from both our familys for a great play and wish you all
the best for your other shows coming up. I have decided to bring my Mam to
see Sidney Devine now too as I was so taken by the warmth of the place. I
promise Ill make sure she doesnt shout the place down like we all did for
the jungle boys!!!!!!
Id also like to say a special thank you to the honesty of the bar lady who
gave me a twenty pound note back with my change after I accidently handed
her two twentys thinking it was two tens. Restored my faith in people it
did.
You have a totally beatiful place in that theatre and I only wish I’d
discovered it years ago.
LOVED LOVED LOVED my night and please pass our thanks to everyone under that
roof.
i think the pantomime was great . we truly enjoyed it we come every year to the pantos at the pavilion and we enjoy them each time . all the cast were amazing and we liked stephen purdon and colin and justin the best but all cast done well .from jenna and lynn from balloch x
We went to see this yesterday, my god what a laugh!!! I took my two wee boys, 7 and 9 and we havent laughed so much in ages, their favorite was defiently Will (wee Bob lol) and Robin of course! Highlight is when the crocodile fell and his head fell off (nice one stephen lol!!) Had a great day and never stopped laughing from start to finish, lots of audience participation and all the cast were amazing and obviously loved what they were doing. Colin and Justin were so much funnier than I thought they would be (sorry guys) and Cat was brilliant too. All in all it was fabby, well worth travelling through for and we can’t wait panto season again!!! xxxx
Hi guys we were at the pavilion yesterday afternoon the show was brilliant a big thanks to cat and the cast and also a big thanks to management and staff at the palvillion from all at st georges primary in penilee
Mornin Ewan + Cat, I Was at the panto on Sat nite my first for years with my Mum and 7 year old son as my Dad was unwell so I took his tkt Cat was great as was the rest of the cast and the brucie bonus was the dancers in their various outfits!! I have been singin Robin Hood all w/end now! Will be going back next year now All the best
Hi cat I spoke to u last night at the stage door to get ur autograph for my son rhys whose birthday it is today he is 11 and loves u to bits so when he u last night it made his night.. I must say u were amazing last night not laughed so much .
I have never been to a panto before, so my partner and his daughter said I just had to go and I am glad I did, it was great fun – I even joined in at the end. Will definately go next year.
HELLO,
WONDERFUL SHOW ALL ROUND BUT I JUST HAVE TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO YOUR
JUSTIN AND COLIN FOR MAKING MY DAUGHTERS NIGHT. SHE WAS SCREAMING EVERY
TIME THEY CAME ON (SORRY!) AND WHEN WE WERE LEAVING THE SHOW I WENT TO THE
ACTORS DOOR AND THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 50 SCREAMING GIRLS GOING BESERK
WAITING. ANYWAY, JUSTIN AND COLIN CAME OUT AND ALTHOUGH WE WERE LAST IN
QUEUE THEY SIGNED EVERY PERSONS TICKETS, BROCHURES ETC AND WERE KIND ENOUGH
TO MAKE SURE THAT EVEN MY GIRL GOT A HUG EVEN THOUGH THEY PROBABLY HAD OTHER
THINGS THEY HAD TO DO THEY WAITED AND SPOKE TO EVERYONE. THATS SO LOVELY.
YOUR PANTOMIME WAS TOTALLY BRILLIANT AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE WHOLE CAST
WERE GREAT (SHELL SUIT BOB AND REAL RADIO RADIO CAT WERE BRILLIANT TOO) BUT
AS FAR AS MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER EMMA IS CONCERNED, JUSTIN AND COLIN WERE
THE BEST. CONGRATULATIONS ON CONTINUING THE MAGIC IN YOUR LOVELY OLD
THEATRE WHICH I HAVE BEEN COMING TO FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. AND NOW MY
DAUGHTER AND HER PALS ARE CONFIRMED PAVILIONITES TOO!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ALL THE BEST FOR THE COMING YEAR. AS SOON AS THE TICKETS
GO ON SALE FOR YOUR NEXT PANTOMIME WE ARE BOOKING THE WHOLE FAMILY
IN!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SPECIAL FORM OF PANTOMIME MAGIC AND ALL THE LAUGHS.

My two kids aged 4 & 7, my wife and I all had a fantastic night on Tuesday. The whole cast were brilliant – thoroughly entertaining and professional. Jim Davidson, Dean Park and Cat Harvey were hilarious, and we also thought Colin and Justin were absolutely terrific – they were so much fun and had so much energy (remarkable given how many shows they had already done) Both my kids beamed with excitement,laughter and expectation every time Colin and Justin took to the stage and they never failed to deliver! A great night had by all, and we look forward to returning next year!
Just been to see the panto with my two girls as we do every year but this has to be one of the best ones yet. The whole cast were amazing and so funny but Dean Park stole the show :). Great humour not only for the kids but also the adults. Can’t wait till Christmas for the next show and would highly recommend it to everyone.
Great job guys, keep up the good work xx
hi there i have just walked in the door from seeing robin hood at the theatre and i have to say we had a magic time the atmosphere was electric the cast hilarious we come every year and i am already looking forward to next year, dean park is the most hilariously funny man and with jim davidson in tow the two of them stole the show great a real family atmosphere with a few jokes in there for the adults that the kids never even questioned, i thought the music picked this year for the show was fab 🙂 the staff very helpful and friendly, i only have one thing that put a downer on it for me and that was the very rude people who decided while the show was on around 15 mins from the end to get up and leave SHAME ON THEM the cast and the rest of the audience deserved more respect and when one person did it around 80 people in the stalls also decided to do it as they thought it was the end and obviously where trying to beat the rush, my advice is if your in such a hurry dont go to the show in the first place it only rujins it for others i.e the kids you stand up in front of that cant see by you or the full row you move so you can get out with all that said thankyou very much pavilion for a wonderful night and hope for many many more the McConnell Family x
Went to see this on 12/01/2011. In a shop before going into theatre we met Justin and Colin and I must say could not have been any nicer to us. Celebs can’t always be bothered when noticed I would imagine, but these two were a pleasure to meet and talk to. They did let me buy their soft drinks for them and took trouble to talk with my daughter and grandchildren outside the shop and also unbelievably remembered our names , read out at end of panto as thankyou.!! The performance itself was well worth the visit and we found it hilarious. All the cast did a great job and all very funny, they looked as if they were enjoying it as much as us. This was a signed performance and praise must be given to couple who took turns in doing this (a wee reminder of how lucky we are not to have needed this personally) but respect to those with this talent. Telling all our family and friends about panto.
Went to the panto on Sun 16th what a fantastic time my family and i had. I think this is the best we have seen yet. i thought Jim Davidson and Dean Park are brilliant together and the rest of the cast did a wonderful job, hope to see the same cast next year love and best wishes to cast and crew see you in January next year.

Hello to the best theatre in Scotland,
My family and me very big supporters of yous. My wife and me and our girls
came up from Ayr to see Robin Hood as my girls are crazy Justin Colin fans
and we wer NOT disapointed! They almost jump off off the stage they are so
lively and thats fun for us all. True pro’s! I like how they were disguised
as trees and took the mickey out of themsleves. Cracking sports!!! But its
for my girls (Annie and Jayne)I say the biggest thank you as we all actually
met them on Sauchiehall Street after the show and they were both kind enough
to chat and let my girls take pictures, very patient when my camera didnt
work at first. They do Scotland proud and we are glad they are such good
ambasadors for the country.
Again, yous made a brilliant panto and thank you ALL for making our week.
Best theatre in town, best panto we’ve seen in years and best cast
Thank yous for a wonderful afternoon at the panto of Robin Hood
we are a non profitable charity W.A.V.E.S. try to come every
year. The group is all about violence against women and
there children. Try to take the the kids out of there
enviroment for a few hours. And take them on holiday. We
Try ower best. We do a lot of bag packing. I go to see
Clair when i book tickets for the group she is so
helpful and so cheerful she has time to talk when i go.
So once again thank you for a wonderful time.
Yours sinserly

Jim davidson was a blast, although all the cast were great, im deffo goin back next yr for another panto .

Jim Davidson and Dean Park were brilliant

Jim Davison stole the show for me with his scottish accent
Karen coatbridge
What a great night thank for giving me the best laugh i’ve had in ages Jim Davidson and Dean Park what a double act please bring Jim back for this year x
Absolutely brilliant show!! Jim Davidson was hilarious, as was Dean Park. We actually only booked this show because Jim and Dean were in it, and they made it worthwhile coming to see. Jim’s gags that obviously weren’t scripted made it even better! And the fact that he kept it clean was amazing, even the kids loved him! Good luck for all your future shows, I will be coming again next year!
We have just got back from seeing the best panto ever!! Well done all the crew especially Jim Davidson & Dean park,we have never laughed as much 🙂
i’ve seen every pavillion panto for 6 years, but this HAS to be one of of the best yet!, a fantastic show and i can’t wait for more laughter next year!! 😀
As I said before this is the best Panto I’ve seen in year’s and looking forward to this year’s. However I have been upset by the Red Cross and it’s attitude so much so that I’ve been in constant contact with them and can’t make them understand the error of their ways. Thanks again for a fantastic time from my family. Lang mae yer lumb reek.
We go to the panto atthe Pavilion, every year on Christmas eve and this year it was amazing as usual.So so funny. Jim Davidson was fantastic and Dean park was his usual funny self. We are all huge shellsuit Bob fans, and we loved Colin and Justin as well, and my kids have not stopped going on about it. Can’t wait til March for next years tickets to go on sale again.
Great show Great panto, Im still howling with laughter after yesterdays matiney.
Brilliant. Best bits? ALL of it! But special respect to the baddy Sherrif
who made my wee girl jump out of her chair in fun fright and to Colin and
Justin who must be the best thing as far as energy is concerned, and also
Ima Poltice played by Mr Dean park. If yous havent already booked this get
it sorted and see the best show in Glasgow this year! theres nowhere like
the Pavilion, you have a great buzz about you and Ive been coming since I
was a wee girl.
Happy New year,
i though the show was amazing especialy paul kenny and varrie mc elwaine and also thought that jim davidson was excelent at playing the part of robin hood had a lot of humor wich i liked. hope to see paul kenny and his partner varrie mcelwaine in next years panto.
Thought it was far the best panto ive been too !! 🙂 Laughed from start to finish! Cast were brilliant especially colin and justin who were fabulous !! Hopefully they will appear in another panto in near future… recommend to anyone.
Have been coming to see the panto in the Pavillion for a number of years now and Robin Hood was by far the best I have seen so far. It was non stop laughs. Jim Davidson and Dean Park were fantastic together and brought out the best in each other! Hope to see them both back together again in next years panto! Stephen Purdon was the usual funny cheeky chappie of the show and Cat Harvey again made us all laugh. Colin & Justin gave us a few laughs too! Can’t wait to see if next year can top this years! Got a lot of work to do guys!
We took our Grandchildren to the panto last night and is was brilliant, the cast were terrific, Dean Park was great as usual and Jim Davidson was terrific as was the rest of the cast,very enjoyable can’t wait for next year.
I beleive you should have stood up to the red cross. The use of the emblem in the show is clearly not intended misuse and any child seeing it would make an assosiation between an nurse and the emblem. I have stopped my financial support to the Red Cross and have written to them to complian that they are wasting my donations in such a shameful way.
just wonderful and Colin and Justin as the Merry Men made my night. Loved their antics and how happy they looked on your stage, always smiling. Truly the best show Ive seen this year. Night made perfect by getting their picture at your stage door and also shell suit bob. Three gents and a credit to your beautiful theatre. Thank you Pavillion for being so ‘for the people’. You are a great theatre and I shall be telling all my friends to come!
We have been fortunate to attend the Pavilion Pantomine for the last few years and “The Magical Adventures of Robin Hood” has been the best Pantomine we have been to so far. We cant wait to see how you follow it next year.
Acopy of the note I sent to the Red Cross for your info.
Good evening,
I have just learned of the amazingly stupid intervention your society has made in the pantomime at Glasgow. Your intervention requiring the withdrawal of the St George emblem and veiled threat that it contravened the Geneva Convention is disgusting to me to the point that I will not make further donations to your cause unless and until I see a full and contrite apology on national media for your high handedness and insensitivity.
You seem to have forgotten who you represent.
Shame on you.
John Earl
once again, great show, kids never stopped laughing.
good to see a family relation back on the stage in the form of Mr Bill Armour, excellent. kids loved Jim Davidson & the lion. looking forward to next year already.
and Dean Park is a scream.
thanks again to the Pavilion & Staff
I haven’t been to the show but have seen the rediculous stance the British Red Cross have made re their emblem. I have emailed them to voice my disgust at them and have hinted that unless they intend to challenge every fancy dress costume bearing the same emblem, you would surely feel discriminated against. If you do fight them on a discrimination issue, I’m sure the country will be behind you. Best wishes Hogie
Dear Pavilion theatre and staff. What a fun roller coaster ride that put the smiles on my familys faces. Your panto is the BEST!!!!!!! My two daughters are huge Shell suit Bob fans and Justin and Colin fans and seeing them last night was a dream come true for them. Getting photos at the end when we went to your stage door was the icing on the cake. I am proud to be a Scot but the warmth of the three guys was just fantastic and it made our night. they were all great in the panto and brought magic to the stage. Ive seen tones of pantos over the years and this was by far the best. I loved Cat Harvey as the Friar too but the biggest kick was seeing my girls faces as Colin and Justin and Bob larked about. Ten out of ten!!!!!
So good that I am coming back with them as a surprise last week of your run. BRILLIANT!!!!
Absolute Brillant. Laughed from start to finish. Really liked Jim Davidson and Dean Park. Also loved Colin and Justin.
this looks good i’am going to see ribin hood ????
great fun, brilliant singalong,best panto my wife and i have been to for a long time.
We enjoyed the show very much. This is the first panto at the pavilion that we have been to since the krankies last played here. We are big favourites of the krankies and would love for them to come back to the pavilion, Robin Hood though was great, great audience participation as well.
This show was one of the best shows I have ever been to. I have been to 5 of the Pavilion’s panto and this has been the best so far. Dean Park and Jim Davidson were amazing playing the characters they played.
Thoroughly looking forward to today’s show. Unfortunately, our friend Stephanie Gallagher was due to come with us today but has been forced to miss the performance as she went into labour this morning and her daughter was born 3 hours ago. Congratulations to Stephanie, her and her daughter will have to wait until the next one now!
Was at the afternoon showing today,what can i say FANTASTIC.My son and i loved it,the cast were all brilliant and i have not laughed so much in years.Definately going to go every year now.
Just back from the 1.30 showing today. It was great fun and Dean Park stole the show as usual. My daughter especially loved it when his nightie and pants fell down, talked about it the whole way home! The only thing that was missing was Dereck Lord!!!
The panto as it always is a great joy to go see it was just amazing. Jim Davidson was very funny and the acting and singing was outstanding. I would defenetly recommend it.
We go every year on Xmas eve and this year it was the best. So so funny. Jim Davidson was amazing and Dean park was his usual funny self. I felt sorry for poor Cat in that costume ha ha ha it was one of the best and we loved Colin and Justin as well. More more more please
Went to see the evening performance on Sunday 2/1/11 what a great way to start the New Year. Four adults all enjoyed the show, being a Londonder now living in Falkirk it was brilliant to see Jim Davidson on stage with the ad-libbing with Dean Park.
our family had a fantastic time at the hogmany show Jim Davidson and Dean Park brilliant . thanks for a great night!
just back from this afternoons performance. what a fantastic show. stephen purdon was hilarious. it was the first panto my boys aged 6 and 4 have been at and they totally loved it. will definately be back next year and planning on making it a family tradition for new year. thanks once again
Very good show, probably the best fun I have had in years. Panto made my
dreams come true and I laughed so hard I thought I would explode. Loved the
singing Maid marion and loved the spirit of Colin and justin who I
ttravelled from Carlisle to see. Your stages were very pretty and the whole
experience was 100% value. have seen lots of other plays in other cities
that werent as good over the years. So well done!Thanks for the fun, I feel
very happy and am going to come back on Jan 12th if I can get my work to
give me a day extra off. Respect to your cast and the theatre staff who
were very courtaeous to my family.
Best wishes from Brenda Cameron x
Ive gone to the shows 7 years on the trot, and i have to say this year was especially amazing.
massive congrats to the entire cast
And also i think fall in love with the same Dancing girl every year xD
Saw the show last night. We got front row seats and had such a great time, especially when Nanny picked on me to stick my hand up so the whole Theatre could say hello to me. We laughed out loud from start to finish – Brilliant fun !!
Just got back had a great night. I laughed so so so much especially when the dame lost her constume (had me in tears). Great show and value for money highly recommended.
Its was a great show all the cast were fantasic its my 4th year watching the pantos and i had a shout out and it was fantasic loved it !
We go to the Panto every year and this was the best yet. Laughed our socks off from start to finish. Great cast!!
Took my 3 year old nephew to the pantomime, Tuesday 28/12/2010, we both enjoyed it, he liked the crocodile.
Subject: WOW! WOW! WOW!
Hope yous dont mind us writing in, its just that I need to thank you. Youve
done it again, created an even better panto than before. Im a bit of a panto
lunatic and with my older sister have seen in the region of 40 over the
years in various cities. This is DEFINATELY my favourite one ever. I LOVED
your pretty Maid Marion who was perfect in the role and as a fan of Real
Radio I thought Cath Harvey did a wonderful job, every bit as good as last
year. Very likeable role. I think in Justin and Colin you have unearthed a
great find. I see them as the new Hinge and Bracket and can only imagine if
this is their first panto ever they are sure to become legends as they did
very well, very competent. And I loved your “Nurse” Deen Park who was just
fantastic. Such a hoot! These cast member all stood out but I need to tell
you that I was hard pressed to find fault in any of your cast who I thought
looked like they had a ball. Favorite songs was by Justin and Colin or Ms
Harvey and favourite outfit was Nurse Deen Parks at the end with the gold
horns.
Please pass my respect to your theatre and staff and cast for making me and
my sister scream the house down. We felt like weans again !
I send you best wishes for the season and look forward to coming again
perhaps in January with my other younger sister who has only seen a paltry
20 pantos! Shes a young contender but has along way to go to catch up with
us,
Happy Christmas and happy New Year when it comes in.
My biggest smiles and hugs.
Angus and Rhona, Aberfoyle
To everyone at the Pavilion, once again may i say that the show was fantastic, i have been brining a group of 40 people to the show for the last 11 years and each year the cast and crew do a great job, every member of the group had a excellent time and cant wait to return to the show next year. the whole show was magical and i would like you to pass your thanks on to the cast of the show as they all work very hard to make a great and magical performance, for any one reading the reviews on here you wont be disappointed with the show, Stephen Purdon was sooooo funny last night but not going to spoil it for those still to go but the mistake that he made had the whole audience in stitches. keep up the great work and counting down the days until next year
My wife and I have had a great night at the pavilion panto its a laugh from start to finish well worth a visit .The Cast were fantastic and the effects excellent .
Coming to see the matinee on 28th Dec with my cousins all the way from Atlanta, Georgia!
coming tomorrow 2 see it and i cant wait!! its sounds awesome and everything ive heard bout it has been gd so hats off to the pavillion again! :-)!!!!
Just back from our yearly night out to the panto, always at the Pavillion and this year we were once again not disappointed, all the cast were brilliant as well as the theatre staff – such a laugh thanks Pavillion 🙂
Not long back from this years panto and like last years it was totally fantastic. Cast, scenes and music were great, laughed from start to finish. Will be back next year and can’t wait.
This was our first family outing to the panto and I can’t believe we have left it so long ! Granny, Mum and Dad and all the kids were laughing, screaming and had a fab time. The Pavillion made the whole day so wonderful – thanks also for the birthday message for Isaac. We can’t wait to come along next year and have told everyone is get to the Pavillion fast, before they have to wait until next Christmas
The best panto so far, we were sitting on front row, my kids aged 12 and 9 loved it Jim Davidson was histerical, colin and justin were brilliant , excellent 1 liners from all the cast , cant wait for next years. well done pavillion…
Fantastic!! My friend from the States was visiting and he loved it too!! Would definately go again next year, but I would it be great if it was a wee bit cheaper.
Subject: todays pantomime – awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Producer/bosses
Happy Christmas from me and my sister and my Dad. I have always loved pantomime and I think in my life I have seen maybe 15 of them! But this was the best one by far. I come from Hull and if truth be known this is why i came to glasgow to stay and see the show and make a christmas holiday of it. Been here four days and staying another three. I think I am probably Britains biggest fan of Colin and Justin and to see them close up was excellent and then the bonus of meeting them at the end of the show as they left was beautiful. They were everything I hoped they would be in your pantomime and I am now feeling my Christmas is complete. I have to say that they are naturals for pantomime and I would love to see them playing Ugly Sisters the next time. They were made for that role. Lol!!! Their energy shone out of them it really did. What I liked about your panto was the whole thing, my dad is a big fan of Jim Davoson and roared at his gags and I loved the lovely old worlde feel of your majestic theatre. It felt very intimate and the flair of your entire cast was warming and joyous. Also have to say a big hello to the panto Dame Nurse who is a whole lot of laughs. Please pass my love to Colin and Justin and your cast for making my Christmas perfectly rounded off. I will cherish the photos of me with Colin and Justin and if you dont mind I will post them up on facebook to tell the world how super they are and how they were so sweet when i met them. I would recommend that anyone who wants to see how panto SHOULD be done comes and sees this one, its a great family show.
Happy Christmas again and thanks from Lorna and all of us in North Kelvinside xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We came for our annual visit to the Pavilion panto, and what a night it was, we read some of the comments about Jim and can only assume these people where at a different panto, the show from scene one to the end was BRILLIANT. At some points the water was running down my face with laughter, the kids did nothing but laugh, we cant wait till next year to what brilliant performance the pavilion have in store for us. Keep up the good work, guys see you next year. My only complaint is the way some parents dont teach their kids where to dispose of rubbish, as one parent behind me told the kids to put the rubbish on the floor for the cleaner. An absolute disgrace.
We had the best visit to Panto at the Pavilillion for many years! What a fabulous show with Jim Davidson. Looking forward to next year already.
Dear Pavilion, Glasgow,
Thank heavens my husband and our fourteen year old daughter Jayne braved the
weather to come to your show this evening having been given the tickets by
my sister as a gift. We were pleasantly surprised by how easy the traffic
was and are all glad the bad weather seems to be behind us now. We arrived
back in Edinburgh safe and sound and will take the memories of your show
with us and pass the message around to anyone who will listen – your panto
was a scream! Hard to pick a favourite part as it was all so good but my
favourites were Colin and Justin, especially as trees (perhaps the funniest
thing I have seen at a pantomime ever) and when they had the wigs on and
also your beautiful Maid Marrion singing, what a gorgeous young lady and a
sweet voce too. My husband definately enjoyed your dancers who were a joy
to watch, and he seemed on the edge of his seat when they were on your
stage!! My daughter who is a HUGE decorating and design fan also loved
Colin and Justin and she really liked your panto dame who was a scream
especially in the bedroom. Overall I rate this full score and I loved the
little impish dancers. As I said its hard to find fault and the near
hundred mile round trip was SO worth our time. Oh and the crocodile made us
all giggle. Thank you for bringing a little Christmas magic to our daughter
and for keeping the tradition of family theatre alive and well. A beautiful
theatre with especially frinedly staff and we even got a parking space 50
yards away from your door!
Thanks again,
Helen, Dave and Jayne
i went yester day brilll my mum was howling funnyst thing ever at the bit where robin gets into the bed and you see the other persons ukk parts lol
Attended the Pavillion Panto for the first time this year after several years going to a large production in Edinburgh – the Pavillion blew them away. The cast, organisation and theatre were second to none – we WILL be back next year!! Well worth the trip from snowy Aberdeenshire!
Went to panto Sunday 19th Dec. 6 family meembers all adults.
Superb, hats off, had everything, very funny.
Costumes, sets etc first class.
Cast were a great mix of people.
Hey cat saw the panto last nite it was brill we all have sore faces from laughing thanks for a great night jean x
My Family and I came to see you on Sunday night at the Pavilion. You were brilliant again this year. Unfortunately on Sunday (as You’ll know) we had some heavy snow and My niece Leah who is in a wheelchair and has microcephaly was unable to leave the house because of the state of the pavements and roads. My sister and Brother-in-law were upset about this so to cheer them up can you give them a wee mention, Their Names are Jacqueline,Alex and Leah Marshall, We go everywhere together and it just wasnt the same without them Thanks Lainey Macdonald xx
MY WIFE AND I WENT TO LAST NITES PERFORMANCE, WE LAUGHED FROM START TO FINISH, MONEY WELL SPENT, ALL THE MAIN ACTERS WHERE AMAZIN AND THE DANCERS LOOKED FANTASTIC, COURTNEY BROWN OUR GRANDCHILD WAS ONE OF THE CHILDREN OF SHERWOOD AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE HER ON THE BOARDS AGAIN 2 YEAR RUNNING, I WOULD SAY GO AND SEE THIS PRODUCTION ITS FANTASTIC YOU WONT STOP LAUGHING, THANKS TO ALL BEHIND THE SCENES FOR THE PERFORMANCE

Hi just to say this is a message for Cat Harvy

Hi Cat,
Just home from Panto, it was fantastic! Loved Colin and Justin, Jim Davidson was tremendous and you were brilliant as usual. We will definately be back in January. It was the best Panto yet.
Thanks for giving Robbie a wee mention, I’ll let you into a secret it was me who emailed you this morning!!!
He did not expect to hear his name and for once he was stuck for words!
Many thanks and keep up the good work.
Mags Boyd
Well done cat! Went to see the panto for the first time in years and had a ball – OH YES WE DID! Lol. From maureen and joe
i go to the pavilion every year and its GREAT as again this year it always funny and i love it !! keep on goin you guys !! xx
Absolutley fabulous very funny best one in years. Jim Davidson was fantastic as was the rest of the cast. I think this year the adults enjoyed it more than the kids!!
My husband, my daughter and her boyfriend and I came to see Robin Hood on Tuesday 7 Dec (courtesy of winning tickets in a Glasgow Herald competition). Can I just say how much we enjoyed the show.The audience was small due to the bad weather but that only created an intimate atmosphere. It was a anight of old fashioned family entertainment and our sides were sore laughing. thank you so muc.
Absolutely fantastic! The best panto Ive seen in years, a real side splitter. Great jokes and very audience orientated. Loved the adlib-ing too…
it was absoulutely fantastic!! the cast were great. dean park is my favourite he is sooooo funny!! 🙂
Awesome beyond expectation. loved it!!! Made my wife’s weekend laughing and
nearly crying trying to get her breath back. so good we have to come back
again i think! it really was a special time. It was actually my christmas
present from her a weekend away. perhaps i will revisit in january with my
scottish cousins from ayr. Their friends saw it last week and alre coming in
force in January, loads of them. i loved the fun the cast seemed to all be
having but special respect from her goes to justine and colin who are her
favourites. i came up special from leeds and am staying at the citizen
hotel near your theatre and we had hoped to see them at your side door but
the man said they already had left. so if you dont mind i want to try pop
back after your evening show to try and get a picture on my iphone with my
wife. i found the baking scene with Mr Davidson very very funny too. i have
seen many family shows and so has my wife but Robin Hood was so very very
good that its probably my favourite ever. Definately worth the air fare and
hotel now my worry is how do i do something even more exciting for my wifes
christmas pressie. youve not half made it hard for me! What a lovely theatre
too. like theatres should be, almost old world charm. the perfect day out
Yours faithfully Neil and Carol
wow what a show last night funny funny from start to finish ,all the cast were brillant , will jim davision be coming back next year. he was just fantastic as well as everyone in the show . cant wait for next years tickets to go on sale
It was really good. I was going to get tickets for the rest of my family but they are a little bit too much to pay for a christmas present.
I was at the Panto last night (17/12/10) with my husband and 3 of my kids aged 12, 10 and 7. I have to say it was the best panto I’ve ever been to. We go to the Pavilion every year and they are always good, but this was a different class. Truly funny for all ages – the cast were amazing, Dean Park was his usual class act but just loved Jim Davidson (please come back next year!!) and Colin and Justin were genius! I’ll be telling everyone about how fab it is – Congratulations!!! I’m sure you’ll be packed out every night.
Dear everyone at The Pavilion theatre,
I wont sleep if I dont get this email to you as you have just given me and
my two kids (8 and 14) probably the geatest night ever and I just have to
say thank you. I just got back in after a long drive to Edinburgh. I dont
know if you realise how brilliant your show is but I have got to say thank
you from the bottom of my heart. From the lady who met us in the hall to the
people who sold us the torch wand it was such a nice time. I am a massive
fan of “Shell Suit Bob” and Colin and Justin and the three of them were just
fantastic to watch. Didnt know my favourite designers could sing but they
can belt out a tune and then some!!! Loved the line dancing song they did!!!
Where they get that energy from is anyones guess as I have just seen your
brochure and youve got about ninety shows all in a row!!! Thats incredible.
Ive always enjoyed the pantos and always came when I still lived in Glasgow
but have missed the last two in Glasgow. Glad I read about who all was in
it as it was vey worth the drive! You do great shows but this was to a
whole new level. The Pavilion is like an institution in Glasgow and I am
proud to say and Ive seen many shows over they years but this was nicest,
funniest, best put together I ever seen. I will be telling all my Glasgow
ex workmates and friends to come!! My sister saw Justin and Colin in “Im a
Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” and loved them to bits and she’s coming up
over Christmas and New Year so damn it Im getting more tickets to bring her
as a surprise. A signed photo would be nice – hint hint! She’ll be
thrilled. In fact Im going to try and bring my Mum and Dad too and make a
family outing out of it. for me its all about the laughter and you hit the
spot.
I also must commend your sets and the music it all worked perfectly,
Thanks again for the fun and games

Was best panto ever been to thought would be reduced fun without gerrard, but stephen purdon, dean park, jim davies were all amazing working alongside each other one liners that werent in the panto had me n ma two boyz kevin,ryan in stitches.
Came to see your panto last night 15th Dec …LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!!!! Jim Davidson was brilliant, his scenes with Dean Park had me laughing so much I had tears rolling down my face, crocodile scene priceless!!! Our party was 3 adults and 3 kids aged 14,11 & 5, the show truly has something for everyone. I have gone to the Kings panto for the last 7 years but this year didn’t feel it would be the same without Gerard Kelly(panto legend) so I switched to your theatre. If your line up is half as good next year we’ll be back. If you haven’t been yet book tickets now, one of the best nights out I’ve had in ages.
Was at the panto on 11/12, have never laughed as hard in a long time. We were in the front row, me and two of my mates, hysterical from start to finish. Colin and Justin stole the show for me, but the bad Sheriff of Strathclyde and me had something goin’ on….lol, he threatened to put my sweets uo to £5 each. Oh no he won’t……//lol
I thought it was really good, I went last night and the whole cast was really funny. I really enjoyed the Show I would go again if i had the chance. So book your tickets now!!!
i am from germany and had never been in a panto before. we do not have it over there. it was absolutely phantastic. the best were the costumes and the thing with the crocodile. and all the kids with lights in their hair and glowing sticks and swords. but the very very best is the glasgow audience. unique. i have never seen such a wonderful audience anywhere else in the world. great fun the whole thing. i can highly recommend and i will come back next year for more. xx
Dear producers, manager, whomever made this wonderful panto come alive!
I have just finished a short 3 hour back shift (I’m a nurse) after your
panto and promised myself I would write as soon as I got home. I brought my
two teenagers and my nine year old to your panto and I just have to thank
you for giving us a family night to remember. Stand outs for me were Dean
Park, Collin and Justin and your villain William who was wonderful. The
whole show was like a bullet train of laughter and giggles! I have seen Dean
many times and very much enjoy most of his comedy and I thought that Collin
and Justin were like a breath of fresh air. The scne where they appeared as
trees made us all roar! Would love to meet them if that was a possibility
when I come back in early January? Perhaps you could drop me a note back to
see if this is possible? William was outsatanding in his villainy and I
remember him from many shows like Take The High Road which I still miss.
Anyway, I shall stop before this becomes an essay, save to say that I shall
be telling all my ward orderlies to book in. Maybe if you brought your
laughter to hospitals we would have shorter stay patients as I believe that
laughter can fight many problems, not least bad health.
Once again, thank you. My husband missed out tonight but he’s now looking
forward to our January visit!
With gratitude,
Cammy Belmont, Mrs, Newton Mearns, Glasgow
Absolutely brilliant. Cast amazing, so funny. We had a great night. Thank you.
it was wonderfull.Hillarious could not even start to describe how funny it was.It was also very good and had lots of songs that made it even better
GREAT
12th December – 6.30pm performance – absolutely brilliant. Dean was fantastic and the crocodile episode unforgetable. Well done to all the cast, Scott, Sharon, Samantha and Jack Brown from East Kilbride xx
12th dec , 6.30 performance
panto at the pavillion is always great but this year is the best ever.
crocodile scene was hillarious and Dean as Gaga side splitting
congratulations on a fab panto ,
Fiona Brown , Jim , Hayley and Rhiannon
The Magical Adventures of Robin Hood is a great production that you can’t miss out on! It really is a great night/day out! With the likes of Glaswegian designers Colin & Justin and Dean Park! I loved the show!
My husband and I went to the Panto yesterday afternoon for my birthday it was fantastic we had such a laugh. The cast were all great even down to the children. We had no kids with us and we were joining in with the booing!!!! Best Panto we have ever seen congratulations to all for making it so entertaining. Thought Dean and Jim worked well together and it was nice to see Jim performing again. Our best wishes to James on the birth of his son and Jim see you in March.
well, i have not been to see a panto in 15 years but from now on i will be there every year with my little boy. we couldnt stop laughing all the way through the perfomance the cast were amazing and i thank you all for bringing back all the fun of being a child again.well done ladies and gents absolutely class.
My wife and I have been coming to the Pavilion panto’s for the last 10 years the last 8 years with my 12 yr old grandson, and I can honestly say this is the best panto we have ever seen anywhere. From start to finish the whole cast were fantastic. from Willie Armour who plays the Sherrif to the 2 kids who have a speaking part, the crocodile all the way to Jim Davidson. This is certainly the funniest panto ever. Would thoroughly recommend it for all ages. We all came out with sore sides with laughing so much. So if you are thinking of going I would recommend you book now.
hi everbody i was there on the 10th of dec in the afternoon with my mum it was a great show we are from ayr we were in row a i saw dean park lost at ayr gaiet that was our second time at the pavilion went last year it is it is nice
Just made it back to Stirling and promised myself I would write because you
are awesome. Really enjoyed the show tonight and dont want to pick out
anyone in particlar as ALL the actors were first class. There’s no doubt in
my mind, you made the best show yet and between me and my hubby we have seen
about 20 panto’s. There was not one weak link in your show. Me and my
husband are buzzing. BRAVO!! Every bit of the story, every actor, every
song. HEAVEN!!!!!! Why can’t all Christmas shows be like this?
KIsses,
Kaye Mason
Was at the panto last night with kilbarchan bb. Jim Davidson was fantastic. Dean Park really funny. Steven Purdon,Colin and Justin were great as well.
Went to the pantomine last night and the whole family found it very entertaining and fun to all. Jim Davidson made the show!!!!!!!
M7y wife and I battled through the coldest day and the coldest train to the matinee on Wednesday to see this show. It was well worth it as the cast the humour the music and the special effects were brilliant we would thoroughly advise anyone considering a show at Christmas to see this. Campbell and Jessie Morgan Dumbarton.
I went with my 9 year old son and my 35 year old partner, we all have never laughed so hard; as equaly entertaining for adults as it is for children. The cast this year made the performance more intimate with the audience. Best panto we have seen in years!!!
Not laughed so hard in ages & I have to say excellent value for money! Almost 3 hours of top quality entertainment! Cast amazing, Jim & Dean together were hilarious! Can’t fault it!
What a fantastic and side splitting show. All the cast were absolutely fabulous, costumes and scenery were 1st class as usual from the Pavilion Theatre. We all went on the opening night and thought the little Babes – who look the same (possibly twins) were very talented for their age – watch this space. Once again another Pantomime.
One of the best pantos that we have been to. A real fantastic family night out, Jim and Dean were a brill double act, and the amazing cast made this a very enjoyable night out. Fun for the kids as well as the adults! Thanks again Pavillion, looking forward to next year already!!!!
had a great night jim davidson made the show was the best show i have seen in 23 years .Hope he is in the show next year as last year was a let down . look forwaed to his show in march if i can get tickets. Colin and Justin also played well. keep up the good work .
thanks once again for a brilliant night at the pavilion a few of us attended courtesy of glasgow housing association for wednesday evenings performance and a great time was had by all adults and children alike many thanks from everyone to alan glasgow for providing the tickets on behalf of the gha
Hello, thanks for giving me, my husband , my son Raymond and daughter Annie
a beautiful night. We got given the tickets for Christmas by my sister who
totally surprised us though we were planning coming in early January anyway
as usual. Think we’l come again it was such a nice night. Pure class it was
and I saw your pantos many times but this was a hoot. Best yet? Certainly
on a par with Pinnochio last year, if not better! Have to say big thanks to
Jim Davidson, Shell suit Bob who my daughter loves, who I must say is class
and to “Colin and Justin” who made me cry with laughter when they came on as
talking tress, very very entertaining. They totally cracked me up all way
through.
All your costumes, your sets and the whole thing were bonkers- in the best
possible way, and even the friendly staff at box office and bar were lovely
considering how rubbish the weather is and how everyone probably wished they
were at home.
You deserve the best praise, your whole show was pure, total class.
Happy Christmas to my favourite ‘people’s theatre!
oh my god the show was grand actors were amazing espically stephen purdon dean parks n jim davidson were brilliant never laughed so much in ma life the tears were streaming down my face they were 11 of us n we had a fantastic night my nephew at 5 loved it he said he liked wee boab lol xx
To the cast, crew and staff.
I would like to thank everyone at the Pavilion for a really fantastic show on Sunday night the 5th Dec. this has to be the best Panto for many years, I didn’t think you could surpass Pinocchio but I was wrong.
My wife and I took our 10yr old daughter and her friend, they got most of the double meanings and the look on their face was worth the admission alone. You made a very cold night warm and exciting.
We can’t wait until next years tickets are available.
Kind regards
The Campbell family.
Just home from the matinee, humour, dancing,musical,fabulous costumes and booing the sheriff into the bargain.Thanks to Jim and all the cast, so enjoyable.
was a great show and cast where brilliant would highly recommend. Although one has to question why the show was not cancelled in such bad weather conditions and the fact that the place was half empty kind of spoiled the atmosphere. The whole cast was brilliant
show attended on sat 4th dec at 2pm : well what can i say this show was absolutly hilarious from the curtains going up. front row seats was fab aswell we were a group of 20 from fort william and even the youngest in the party aged 6 was in stiches , jim davidson was outstanding and even funnier when his trousers split, well done to colin and justin and off course dean park and stephen purdon for yet again another outstanding show ! we will be back next year xxxx
What a brilliant night, the full cast was terrific, Jim davidson was so funny, jaws sore with with laughing throat sore with screeming he’s behide you! and when dean came on dress as lady gaga I thought I was going to wet myself , came with my daughter and friends from work this is our 4th panto cant wait till next year.
EXCELLENT!!!!Top show, so funny from start to finish, went with my mum and my 23 year old daughter, laughed all the way through, Dean Park is my mums fav entertainer, and its easy to see why. Jim Davidson was great and Colin and Justin were fantastic. Best night out we have all had in ages….Loved it…
Loved it. Dean and Jim were pure dead brilliant as was Colin and Justin. All the cast were good .Will be booking again for next year so keep up the laughs as we all need a tonic.
Congratulations. Great show, so pleased I came with my wife and four girls. They loved it and we all found it was very entertaining! Also coming back Christmas week with my Mum and the mother in law and now I might try and make it my office night out in January! The hat trick! Jim Davidson was very funny and Colin and Justin done up as trees made me nearly choke laughing, very entertaining and good to see that they can have a laugh at themselves. All my daughters thought that Neve Jennings (Miss World gorgeous) was a great singer and very pretty. Theres a lot of bad stuff going on in the world and this show was pure escapism and we wish yous all the best for a wicked show for the rest of the run,
Our thanks for the smiles, The Camerons, Dennistoun

Just a quick note to say thanks for a brilliant night. I think it’s dead
easy to complain about things in this day and age but we’re less likely to
write and compliment so I hope you dont mind me righting that wrong.
Atmosphere in there was fantastic and when show started we all went wild.
All cast were brilliant and my favourite bits were Kat singing the song
about food and teh arrow in the pie, the bit with Justin and Colin in the
tree dresses and when they sang (good wee chanters!) and Nanny Poltice ( I
loved her/him!) as gaga. Brilaint show, oh my god it is your best one yet!
Happy Xmas when it comes, Im off to put some picks up on facebook to spread
the message, dont worry just picks from the front door, didnt use my camera

Still giggling after last nights panto which was a scream. Dont know who
was camper, Dean Park or Colin and Justin! Lady Gaga a hoot and the bit
with Justin and Colin as trees was a riots. They were all a scream! So
lovely to see something thats just great fun and not heavy, you put on a
very good show, you should be proud. I havent been to a panto before but
I’ll definately come back next year and may even try and get back again this
year with my Mum and sister who loved colin and Justin when they were in Im
A Celebrity. Really nice watching all the people laugh and the kids
shouting. Laughter was everywhere and it really cheered me up. My daughter
who is 15 thought Miss Marrion was beutiful and her voice is great and it
was nice seeing Justin and Colin sing there hearts out too, stars.
So I just wanted to say thank you for getting my weekend off to a cracking
start. Ive got a right lift in my steps today!
Christmas wishes, Fiona and Fearne Stone
Loved every minute of it. The cast were all great . Jim Davidson with Dean Park were hilarious as was Colin and Justin. Hope they all stay together for another year of laughter as we all need it.

Hello, I have to say thank you thank you for last night show. I brought my two step
girls to the show you made and it was so lovely i am coming back with my
sister and her children after Christmas as she loves panto to. My step
daughters are 12 and 14 and loved the show so they did. Would it be possible
to meet Collin and Justin with my family then? Even for a just a quick
hello. They loved seeing them on Coach trip and they are their biggest
fans, the ‘boys’ as my Mum and Aunt call them were hilaroiouse! My third
sister wasnt able to make it but my two sisters were also with me last night
and both was smitten. Can you thank the ladies or men who made the clothes
they done the panto proud, what clothes they were! Even my husband was blown
away last night and he has never seen a panto and wasnt sure if he would
like it but brilliant all round.
My family have been to many panto at Ayr and Edinburgh I have seen maybe
eight in few years but this was BEST ever, thank you so much, we are all
still smiling this morning and ive taken the day of work as I went for late
dinner to make a night of it as we booked a hotel. Thank you, Anna Henderson, Girvan xxxxxxx
I trust you dont mind me writing to say thank you for a super evening in
your lovely theatre. It was without a doubt sensational! As a very big fan
of Cat Harvey, Colin and Justin and Steven out of River City it couldnt have
been any better to see so many of my favourite people on one stage. I have
seen six Pavilion panto’s now and this was truly the best yet. The bit in
the bed made me cry laughing, Colin and Justin dressed up as tress ‘mincing’
across stage as if they were wearing ballgowns was genius, and the bit with
the baking scene was very very funny. Have to say that I wasnt sure if Id
enjoy Jim Davidson but he’s obviously a dab hand at this. He was very
entertaining and a talented comic. Thankfully there wasn’t anything too
blue for my Mum!
Can you please pass on my wishes to all the cast for doing what they did and
also for making my Mum laugh so much. She has had a very bad year with
health and this was like a tonic for her. I am in the Pavilions debt for
making her smile and for doing what the NHS have been unable to do. Thank
you, thank you, thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed the opening night of the Panto. Jim Davidson was excellent and threw in a lot of extra laughs along the way, which even had the rest of the cast taken by surprise, much to their and our enjoyment. Dean Park brilliant as ever.
Absolutely fantastic, the best panto I have ever been to and I have been to a few. Dean Park stole the show he was brilliant, well they all were. Oh and the kids enjoyed it too, thanx for a wonderful evening can’t wait till next yearxxx
SOOOOOOOOO exicted to be part of the panto (it’s a dream come true) and cant wait to be on the stage on Sunday 5th dec. i was there for opening night and all my new friends done amazing well done!!!! CANT WAIT!!!!I’M SO EXICTED
the best show i have seen in the last 4 year modern up to date laughs out of an old show 6 of us in party and we all loved it well done to you all truly wonderfull still laughing and talking about it brilliant *****
have been attending dean park pantos for 12 yrs even in Motherwell and can say that last night was the funniest and best atmosphere that we have ever had. from the opening bars to the last it was laughter and audience participation all the way. well done the all the cast . Jim Davidson, Colin and Justin all fitted in with the regulars as if they were a big group of friends out enjoying themselves and they asked us all along to enjoy the evening with them. glad we made the effort through snow it was worth it.
A great family show. Got more laughs than was ‘organised’ with wigs falling off and trouser splitting and there was more…
what a great opening nite fantastic pavillion panto’s are the best .
Absolutely hilarious opening night,the cast were just so funny,have not laughed so much in years especially when Jim Davidson burst his trousers.Great show will be telling all friends and family to book it,well worth it.My mother in her seventies and 4 daughters had a great time thanks:)
As always, the Pavillion Panto looks as exciting as ever! My Granny has been bringing me and my cousins for to the panto every Christmas Eve for the past 20 years-and I’ve been a part of that for 15. The cast sounds superb, costumes look hilarious and the story is shaping up to be an exciting adventure. So bring up the curtain, time for another great year at the Pavillion!
