DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING

Any resemblance to J M Barrie's Peter Pan is purely accidental. No coherent story line. In fact no storyline at all. Drag artist (??) with predictable so-called 'Adult humour'. Far too many dancing routines which were completely out of context. Whatever David Suchet was thinking when he agreed to play in such a travesty of a production is beyond me. The final straw was when he (Captain Hook) transmogrified into Hercule Poirot. I thought WHAT IS GOING ON!! A complete and utter waste of money.

DISSAPOINTED

Lacked sparkle or magic. Anton held the whole thing together and worked very hard. Crude and inappropriate dialogue for a pantomime. Lustre, fairyland was missing. Worst panto I have seen at Woking. Nothing special.

WORST PANTO IN 30 YEARS - LOW BUDGET

Outstandingly poor. I see 3 pantos a year for last 40 years and this is the worst, low budget, untalented, desperate attempt at panto I’ve ever seen. Now we all like a bit of induendo for the adults, this is filth.. every other “joke” from the same was poo related and one so called joke “ Are you putting the tree up yourself?” - “no in the lounge” - pretty vile right. No special effects, repetitive scenery, basic poor costumes, no frills - would pass as amateur dramatics nothing more. So disappointing Do not waste your money. Honestly no storyline 2nd half a farce Started 7pm 15 min interval all over 8:55 When it came to curtain call no one clapped Becuase we all knew show was supposed to finish 9:30 Very bad

VERY VERY POOR.

Show advertised as 2hr20. Starting 7pm. It was all over at 9pm inc interval. First half was ok, but the humour was dirty smut. No special effects bar a crappy crocodile. Second half started 8:20 and was over 8:55. The audience seemed confused by the sudden ending, like scenes were missed out. No one clapped as we thought it was the start of the ball???? So massively cut down in time. The acting was poor, possibly the worst panto we have ever seen and it was smutty and filth in the innuendos. Just don’t waste your money.

PETER PAN

I was looking forward to this but found it amateurish. Acting was not good ( but then I don’t think any actors were cast ) jokes were tacky & very inappropriate for kids & the plot line seemed to be more cucklevision & strictly than Peter Pan. The guy who played Peter Pan tho was really good.

PETER PAN

We went with our 2 young children, to a Christmas Peter Pan panto - as previous reviewers have mentioned - most of the jokes were hugely inappropriate - founded on cringeworthy double entendre "I've got something soft and pink - would anyone like to try it?" "it's been so long I can't remember who ties who up first" "where are my buccaneers? - on the side of your head" - plus a truly seat squirming scene with Anton du Bec holding a cucumber in front of his groin moving it up and down, before Mr Chuckle cut it off! Really? Yes!! I gave this 1 star as you can't give it zero. The whole thing was just dreadfully done - everything was second rate. i'd wished I hadn't taken my children - I felt irresponsible. What Anton Du Bec was doing there I really don't know - he must have lost his senses. I believe he has young children as well. He must be aware of how "wrong" this show is. All the audience were families and very few laughed at the inappropriate jokes.

BORING PETER PAN

In years gone by the pantomime was full of sparkle and lavish sets with a strong cast, under this new company for pantomime it's just gone downhill with boring amateur style sets, most now done by flying backdrops. It felt rushed, Anton was good, Paul Chuckle was funny, put the rest was a amateur production cast. Smutty rude jokes that were a step to far for children, when it got to the end it ended suddenly no lavish wedding scene with the ballroom. We heard others saying the same, disappointed especially compared to when ATG did them theirselves, I hope they take note that your panto is poor and boring and needs serious improvement for future years. Don't waste your money, go elsewhere
