Woodchurch Players Reviews 

We had a fantastic time watching Beauty and the Beast. The cast were brilliant and each year the pantos are so well put together. Very funny and really well done. We loved seeing the younger actors have many leading roles. Cannot wait for next years! Well done to everyone involved.

This was our fourth year of visiting the Woodchurch Players Panto and it did not disappoint. The story was wonderfully written and directed. The cast were amazing, some real young superstars too. The Dame Madame Fi-Fi was absolutely hilarious and Belladonna played the baddie so well. Cannot wait until next year!

Our group of 6 ladies really enjoyed Beauty and the Beast it was well acted and the young players were very good and the adlibs really worked look forward to seeing you again this year

Absolutely fantastic last night of Beauty and the beast.
It was clear the cast had put an awful lot of work into the production.
Congratulations to the 'new director'on her first panto.
The sound/lighting crew were great too.
A thoroughly enjoyable time.
Get your tickets early for next year as it maybe difficult to secure them

My family and I attended the panto at woodchurch again this year and as always the cast and crew did not disappoint it was another fantastic preference by all involed we always have so much fun joining in with so much laughter cant wait for the next one.

Really lovely community event which we very much enjoyed

We came with our young grandchildren to the Sunday matinee of this year's panto Beauty & the Beast and what a wonderful show is was. The performers were brilliant and the confidence and talent of the younger members of the cast was truly inspiring. The afternoon was full of goodies, baddies, and audience participation, which my 4 and 7 year olds loved, all what a panto should be which was performed brilliantly. A really fun and enjoyable afternoon. Thank you to Woodchurch Players and all the helpers.

Another fantastic performance x congratulations to you all. Your hard work and dedication really shone through. I was particularly impressed with all the young talent and them getting involved with the directing etc. Bravo everyone, see you next time xx

This was one of the best Pantos yet not only how well the cast performed but all the extras that went with.
Well done.

It was a fantastic panto. Everyone did so well. It was very funny in places. Looking forward to next years. It was well put together and very well delivered. Well done everyone involved.

What a fantastic first night of this year’s panto.
Everything you would expect ,goodies, baddies ,amazing costumes and great songs.

Great fun had by all The hard work paid off.Moments of very dry humour and some superb timing from Jim Hawkins the cabin boy played by Catherine Sales giving a vibe worthy of any Fringe theatre. A full house on the night I attended will be great encouragement for the Woodchurch Players to show us more in 2025.

This was just sheer fun for everyone! Something a bit unusual was that there was little evidence of nerves or shyness from anyone on the stage, even if it may have been hiding there occasionally. So that just shows what good actors they are!
One improvement for next time: some of us have hearing-aids, and when the overhead voiceovers boomed, so did our ears! Perhaps just lower the volume a tad?
Great show. What’s next?

Another fantastic Panto. They never fail to entertain and you can see everyone participating really enjoys it.
Well done to all involved!

Another great Woodchurch players show! Superb ensemble performance with flawless tech support. Looking forward to next year.

What an amazing evening. a group of us came down from The Six Bells and we had a fantastic time. The work that must have gone in to producing such a fun, wonderful evening was second to none. We all can’t wait for next year xx Thank you

The pantomime Treasure Island was a super evening out for all seven of us. It was lovely to see so many youngsters participating and the performance of young Jim was particularly impressive. The costumes and backdrops were very well done as were the special effects. We'll be back next year!

A truly wonderful evening of fun filled traditional panto for the last performance of the season with terrific sets, music & lighting.
The whole cast were outstanding & it was great to see so many youngsters playing their part alongside leading light 'Long John Silver' played by Chris Priest.
So hats off to Director Mike Headling & everyone involved in the production. Simply the best & we look forward to returning next year.

Another very professional performance from the Woodchurch Players. I highly recommend a visit to watch this village pantomime.

They smashed it out of the park again this year. It’s becoming a regular annual outing and perfect antidote to cheer up a miserable January.
Lots of great songs and audience participation, and outstanding performances from Long John Silver and his pirates.
We are looking forward to next year !!
