From the moment the band strikes up to the moment the curtain falls this show will make you smile, laugh maybe even cry! Plymouth are lucky to have the biggest Panto producer QDOS to showcase the magic, lets just say they never dissapoint. With lots of references to Plymouth and being set in Janners Town makes this pantomime even more wonderful and special.

Come prepared to join in as there is plenty of audience participation required throughout “OH YES THERE IS”. With lots of time to “BOO” and “HISS” as Abanazar played by Pete Gallagher is simply stunning in the role and a real panto baddy with a standout performance, you will not be able to hold back those Boo’s! Joe Pasquale leads this wonderful company as Wishee Washee and is on fire for every performance, the occasional ad-lib makes this show side splittingly funny. Joe’s entrance as Toilet Man will have you in hysterics, he leads this production with energy that infects the audience and other cast members alike. Widow Twankey played by David Robbins our pantomime dame is infectiously funny and packs numerous costume changes we lost count, you have to see it to believe it.
