Bad Points

the worst part for me was not having gary wilmot in the show on the night i went, but they never gave a reason, just that someone else was standing in for him, although the guy did do a good job, it's not the same as going for a particular person to be in the production.

gemma atkinson was not very good as peter pan, and i do not want to compare her against others, but i have seen plenty of panto's, with lesser known people doing a lot better in the lead role.

one more thing that made the night pretty bad for me and the others i took (14 seats, or one full row) was that before the show there was street vendors selling flashing swords and sticks, and although i know kids like that sort of thing, and it's good to get them involved when there are pirates to join in, i would prefer to see part of the show without them being waved in front of my eyes all night long.


General Comments

The production of Peter Pan at Manchester was good with decent audio around the theatre, with the best performance by Wendy in the show. The overall production was good, with the effects for Tinkerbell done quite convincingly, and had the children and most of the adults enthralled with joining in. the songs, although not the best did make the show hold together somewhat better than miss atkinson did!

on a lesser note, in case any of the theatre staff actually read this, please, tell the children that get the flashy toys not to wave them about all night long, it's just a little courtesy than can be accomplished by using the mike to tell people, like i was told that gary wilmot would not be in the show without a reason!!!
