Mother Goose review

The audience simply loved this very traditional return to pantomime proper and for the most part so did I, I love the form and I love the tradition and I am heartened to see it return to Theatre Royal Brighton after a long absence. And clearly the presence of major stars sold the place out in their pre-west end and tour run.
