"A fantastic night out for the run up to Christmas
at a theatre that always feels family friendly!"
Whats On NE
"Director Simon Stallworthy keeps the traditional
story and familiar elements, but injects contemporary
twists that are great fun. The opening is terrific,
with Neil Armstrong as a rock n roll King
Rat astride a motorbike, playing electric guitar and
pounding out a song amid punk-haired sewer rats."
The Stage
"While some pantos fall back on relentless slapstick
or overblown song and dance numbers, Stallworthy gets
the balance right with a perfectlypaced mix, driven
along by a stream of comic one-liners." Durham
