Step into a fairy-tale world of magical castles, bewitched spinning wheels and an enchanted sleep that only true love’s kiss can break…

The Elgiva, in association with New Pantomime Productions, presents Sleeping Beauty, as this year’s fabulous family pantomime in Chesham.

Sleeping Beauty Pantomime Review

We went to the Sleeping Beauty Panto at the Elgiva in Chesham and had such a great time. It was our first trip to the panto as big theatres can be a bit loud for one of my children to manage and enjoy. This was just perfect!

We had a warm welcome from the staff who even asked if my boy wanted to get on stage and be part of it near the end (he didn’t want to!) There was a very reasonably priced souvenir stall with wands, glow sticks etc to buy starting at just 50p.

We grabbed some drinks and snacks whilst we waited for the show to start and Father Christmas came round the foyer with his elf to say hello to all of the children. (I don’t know if this happens for every show)

The theatre is smaller than the other locals theatres but you get a comfy seat and plenty of space.

THE SHOW…

I don’t want to say too much so will keep it simple. The cast were fantastic, so funny and were clearly having a great time and a team. I am actually going to go back with my 4 year old because she will love Sleeping Beauty and her note perfect singing and beautiful dancing. There was all the laughter, glitter and interaction that you would expect from a Pantomime. There were even a few hilarious moments which I don’t think were planned in but made it even funnier.

The child cast members performed their dance numbers with such focus and with giant smiles, something my child watched with admiration.

All in all a really affordable and funny Panto for every generation to enjoy. If you are looking for a first Panto trip for your little ones who haven’t been to the theatre before this would be a great first show.
