“…what a panto it is here in Cardiff this year as Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates sail into the New Theatre to dazzle and delight….The show is fast-paced, gag-filled and, of course, full of family fun.” The Sprout

“Cardiff’s panto offering is a real treat.Ventriloquist Paul Zerdin delights adults and children alike with a comical and energetic performance ….Christopher Biggins is fabulous as the Panto Dame mixing deadpan comic reactions with a variety of costumes and much slapstick…colourful production…spectacular dance sequences…popular songs…Don’t miss the fun!” South Wales Argus

“Cardiff’s New Theatre has scored a blinder this year… an all-round night of entertainment….never a dull moment…Bangs, fireworks and flames accompanied a magical mermaid (Lucy Sinclair) and the evil Blackheart the Pirate (David Bedella)… a violent storm at sea…a spectacular underwater scene…. All the traditions we love and expect were there…When money is scarce you need to know it’s going to be worth it. This panto definitely is.” WalesOnline
