MORE TESTIMONIALS

"Just a quick thank you to all of your team who put on such an outstanding performance of Dick Whittington at Chesterton Community High School yesterday (19th December 2005).

The production was of the highest quality and was greatly appreciated not only by all the pupils at our school and our feeder primaries, but the staff and parents too! The acting, dancing and singing was superb and got across the moral message with great humour and merriment. Your actors made the story really come to life with passion and enthusiasm! It has made many children's Christmas complete!

We would thoroughly recommend your Company to other local schools and community youth groups. We found the whole experience very professional from communication, stage management and the actual production. Thank you once again from all of us here! "

"I just wanted to congratulate you on a fantastic performance of Hey Diddle Diddle at the Queen's Theatre in Hornchurch, Essex. 

I took my five year old son who loved the whole show but was especially impressed with Axel the Funky Feline! For my part, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole performance, particularly the lovely Axel and the evil Wee Willie Winkie. We also loved the way that the characters came out at the interval and chatted to the children in character. I have never seen that before at any other show and thought it was a lovely idea. We have been to lots of children's shows over the years and I have to say that this was by far the best one. We came out singing the songs and my son is still talking about it now! The icing on the cake for him was winning the colouring competition and meeting Axel, Jenny and Davey on the stage. The photo is in pride of place on top of the telly! 

My only complaint is that I didn't take my 7 year old as he said a show called Hey Diddle Diddle would be too babyish. In actual fact I think he would have loved it just as much as the 5 year old! I hope you will be back at the Queen's again soon and look forward to another great show!"

"We saw Goldilocks & The Three Bears at Strode Theatre. All the cast were very professional but Velcro stole the show. We have seen many pantos & plays but this is the one we enjoyed the most as the actor in the role of Velcro was outstanding, totally in character on stage & off. His performance was of the standard that we have seen in West End shows rather than in regional theatres. My son was thrilled when Velcro said hello back to him off stage - still in character. My son's current prized possession is his polaroid photo taken on stage. We hope you can pass our thanks to Velcro & the cast for the great time they gave us."

"From start to finish The Panto Company were great to work with, friendly and professional. The show was lively, humorous and interactive and gave the audience clear strong messages about working with children. Childcare professionals and audiences of all ages, after watching the performance, gave very positive feedback and were inspired to find out more by attending Sure Start Northumberland’s ‘Careers in Childcare’ taster courses. The performances were so successful that we will be taking it into high schools as part of our recruitment drive."

"The best show we have ever seen - and we've seen quite a few!"

Chloda Elliott , Ahoghill Parents & Toddlers
(Hey Diddle Diddle, Clotworthy Arts Centre, Antrim)

"The main event of the day was a pantomime of Robinson Crusoe, performed by The Panto Company. A fun-filled performance based on Defoe’s classic book packed with music and laughter. The Pantomime had all the children participating in true panto style and was a really big hit. One of the main characters even decided that the Wembley stage in front of so many children would be a unique way to propose to his girlfriend - she said yes. All the performers did a fantastic job at keeping so many children entertained."

"A quick note from Clotworthy Arts Centre to say thanks so much for Robinson Crusoe! The audiences absolutely loved it, and the show itself was really great! Your team were a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to Christmas and Aladdin!"

"The Panto Company has entertained our children at Christmas for the past two years and we are looking forward to seeing them again in December. Their shows are well paced, upbeat and lively with plenty of opportunities for the children to join in. We always book for the following year before they leave the premises to make sure we get a date! Highly recommended!"

Helen Chase, Deputy Head Teacher
The Station First School, Bedlington

"The Panto Company was charged with delivering two elements to the Rural Enterprise Show: a Kidz Zone to provide entertainment for the children of our visitors, and an Idea Zone to break the ice with visitors and assist them in changing their perceptions about their own business. What a success both areas were! I was delighted and so was my client. Their energy, enthusiasm, and complete professionalism enhanced their contribution to our event significantly. I look forward to working with them in the near future."

"I would like to say a big thank you for the Bullying Drama and Workshop you presented as part of the Year 9 Life Skills Day. Bullying is an issue that always needs to be addressed. Already I have received some encouraging feedback about the play, and indeed the topic! The day was a huge success and would not have been so without your support. I hope to see you again. Much appreciated!"
