Peter Pan at Stockport Plaza: A Cracking Festive Show

'Peter Pan' at Stockport Plaza is a real gem of a show, ideal for the festive season. It's carved out a place as a bit of a Manchester tradition, and this year's production hits the mark brilliantly.

The story takes us on a familiar adventure to Neverland with Peter Pan, Wendy, and her brothers. They've thrown in a few modern twists—even a 'Let's do a Tik Tok' bit—but kept all the classic panto fun, like the good old 'it's behind you' laughs. It's a great mix that appeals to both the young and the grown-ups.

The cast is spot-on. Brian Capron as Captain Hook stands out with a performance that really connects with the audience. The whole team's energy is infectious, making every scene enjoyable.

The production values are high. The set is really something, bringing Neverland to life in a way that's impressive but still has that panto charm. The costumes and tunes are spot on, getting everyone involved and up for a good time.

Audience interaction is a big part of the show, with plenty of banter and moments for the crowd to get stuck in. It's especially great for the kids, who love being part of the action.

All in all, 'Peter Pan' at Stockport Plaza is a top choice for a Christmas outing. It’s got all the laughs and a bit of magic, and it’s a proper crowd-pleaser.

Definitely worth a watch! Running till Sunday 7th January 2024, for tickets follow the link.
