Jack Frost’s Frozen Christmas

There’s a lot of positives with this panto; it’s a big brash affair, good musical numbers with some original tunes too, it’s a good cast – X Factor’s Marcus Collins had bundles of energy, with the brilliant scene stealing Richard David-Caine as Jack providing charisma and bags of ability. The comedy routines (mainly provided by comedy double act Simmons & Simmons) was the right side of silly with a dash of havoc. Unfortunately those who attended last year’s panto will notice the glaring similarities in set, costumes and plot. However, the kids won’t notice that and they’ll love it. It’s loud, colourful, in your face Christmas entertainment … and you might get covered in ‘snow’!
