Guess who's putting on a show in Bristol this Christmas

It's a long time since I went to the pantomime at the Hippodrome but I think I might be tempted this year. It's Cinderella. The main attraction is that Mickey Rooney's starring and I've admired his work on film for as long as I can remember. And I've never managed to see Cinderella before.

Theatre Clwyd ~ CINDERELLA – THE PANTO WITH SOUL

There's no Judy Garland in this production but I bet the spirit of Busby Berkeley will be there on stage when he starts to dance.

Chez, it sounds terrifying!

"There’s one thing certain about this fast, funny, colourful, loud and phenomenally enjoyable rock panto - if you sit in row C you will get wet."

There's a review in The Stage this week, they loved it.

"This is as fine an example of the theatre of sheer joy as you’ll find anywhere this Christmas."

I've never realized it before but where I sit depends on who I take. The fouler daughter and I always sit high and to the left in all the Bristol theatres which probably means the £15 tickets. The stalls are £30, that's where I'd be sitting centred if I took the other of them. With the boys I get tickets to the left as close to the stage as we can manage. What odd habits we fall into, those patterns started when they were small.

It's good to see you posting again.

Stop going to that wretched hospital - it's like watching a moth and a candle.

I am going to see Beauty and the Beast, I always book for the last showing, they do a discounted rate, £7 per ticket regardless of where you sit. We are going on the 4th January
