“BRAVO!!! WELL DONE Matt, Chloe and company on a superb performance tonight! Everyone was SO GOOD! (Even that terrifying Ghost of Christmas Future). The songs were a great surprise, not your usual rendition of a Christmas Carol. [We] thought it was GREAT!!!“

“Thank you for another wonderful night’s entertainment, as always all the guys from Parkside gateway club thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Ghost of Christmas Future was absolutely amazing, the guys were talking about it today, also saying how much they enjoyed the songs; the marimba dance scene seems to be a particular favourite. Thank you to all the Playmakers, looking forward to seeing you all in the future.”

“That was an amazing performance, we all enjoyed it. The guy that played Scrooge was really strong and the kids were brilliant. Every one played a great part and the “Future spirit ” was very cool. It was a great take on such a classic. We all loved it and the choice of Songs. the Costumes especially the 3 Spirits and Scrooge were wonderful. Well done to everyone involved, thank you for inviting us, we look forward to seeing you next year.”

Well done Playmakers for a very enjoyable show. Loved the make-up and was very impressed with all the ‘lines’ you had to learn especially Nick (loved him in a dress as well ). You were all just like the animals you were meant to be. Those twins in their wigs. Adorable. And Oliver was a great baddie

Tom Thumb – 2018

My husband took our three eldest children to the Saturday (27th, 2pm) performance. They all enjoyed the performance very much, and my eldest, particularly, has been inspired to join the Playmakers. We will definitely be back for future performances! A+

Tom Thumb – 2018

I have to say that Tom Thumb was brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed the show – lots of great laughs, good songs and super audience participation.

All-in-all, another truly great performance from The Playmakers, so well done to everyone involved – on stage and behind the scenes.

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

I would just like to express thanks to the Playmakers on behalf of the Open Mind Club for a lovely evening in January. Luckily there was no snow around this year, so we had a good attendance from our group.
One of our members brought his wife who was in a wheelchair and has numerous health problems. They have never managed to get there before. They left at half time as she was not feeling great, but at least she had an outing.
I liked the earlier start with the earlier finish time. I have found in the past that, by the time I have taken people to various destinations, I am quite late getting home myself.

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

We very much enjoyed the performance, not excessively long, excellent choice of music and song, great costumes and stage scenery – if I had one small criticism it would be that some of the punchlines were lost because they are either said too quickly or quietly (usually from the younger members of the cast although they all put on an excellent show) and hence miss an audience reaction. All in all a lovely show.

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

The perfomance was excellent the whole play from start to finish was very entertaining and held the attention of my two grand-daughters aged 3 & 6 from start to end, my daughter and I enjoyed Flip and Flop’s antics they were great.Very good value and looking forward to seeing more productions in the future.

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

Panto was a delight. We have been coming for a few years now and definitely prefer the shows with more singing and music.
The raffle is a great idea ( and I am sure, necessary) but although we buy tickets, there are always so many around the table at the end, we never look. Perhaps a different process for notifying winners would be good?
However, we do have a good time – thank you

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

we both enjoyed the performance
to be honest we came to support our neighbours who were both in it. probably come again next year

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

We had a great family night out. The panto had a nice relaxed atmosphere and the cast were clearly enjoying themselves which made it enjoyable to watch.
Was impressed with the script as its tough to write a whole panto – liked the shoe theme to the names. The production was well rehearsed with a strong cast – well done!!

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

Fantastic, very funny well thought out. Stage set up, back drops and costumes looked really good, liked the runway down the centre and the sound was good as we were right near the back but could still hear and see.
Thought the facilities at the venue were good and a good variety of refreshments available. On the whole extremely impressed!

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

We all thought the pantomime was fantastic. Can’t remember one I enjoyed more. A big thank you and well done to everyone involved!

Elves And the Shoemaker – 2014

Great panto, funny throughout. Very well done and put together. Impressed with the singing. Whole family loved it. Thank you

Three Little Pigs – 2015

We thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Three Little Pigs – 2015
