It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Sadly, following the extremely challenging year the world continues to endure, I think a vast handful of people are shouting “OH NO IT ISN’T!”.
Well, that certainly is not the case at the Garrick Theatre in London’s West End, whom, despite all the odds and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have managed to reopen their doors to spread some festive cheer through the magic that is live theatre, just in time for Christmas!
The Garrick Theatre are one of the few venues in London that have managed to reopen as part of the NIMAX Theatre Group. They are currently showcasing three productions within their December and New Year schedule: Death Drop, Showstoppers: An Improvised Musical, and Potted Panto.
“Potted Panto”, a one act pantomime that puts a unique spin on seven classic tales within seventy minutes. The show is headed by double Olivier nominees Dan and Jeff, who are fresh off their world tour and Las Vegas residency of Harry Potter parody “Potted Potter”. This year marks their tenth anniversary festive season of “Potted Panto”, and within the first five minutes alone, it was clear to see why this dynamic duo have returned year after year to packed audiences in London’s West End.
