Fantastic. The costumes were stupendous. So much so, we will be booking the next pantomime at the end of the year. The cast were very funny and we didn't stop laughing the whole time.

The costumes were superb. My kids thought that Diversity were excellent. Julian Clarey is just made for panto.

A very colourful production. Julian Cleary's outfits were fantastic - even more outrageous than last year. Brilliant cast. Great to see Elaine Paige sending herself up. Her voice is terrific. Charlie Stemp was awesome - what a talent! So pleased to see Gary Wilmot back in the limelight.

Wonderful cast but panto not as good as last year. Cinderella was outstanding - we never stopped laughing and talked about it for days. Diversity, while very talented, seemed out of place in a panto.

Absolutely brilliant, my best panto so far. Loved Julian Clary costumes. Also his dry sense of humour Laughed at Gary wilmot when he lost his wig and Nigel havers falling into the scenery. Plus the special effects really good. Diversity were excellent Paul with his puppet kept me entertained I will certainly come back to see next years panto

This is the second year my friend and I have been to the London Palladium Panto. The reason for our going, it has to be said, is that I am a life-long Julian Clary fan. He certainly didn't disappoint and commands the stage with his presence. A brilliant supporting cast and special effects, makes this the best panto to see each year.

The last night of any Panto is our favorite because everyone is in high spirits celebrating the end of the run. This was no exception and the fun shone through. Everyone was spectacular and the show was brilliantly presented. I couldn't single out one performance from another, however, Elaine Paige was a revelation - only every seen her in a musical before now. Congratulations to all involved and thank you for a wonderful show. We laughed until the tears rolled!

My family and I came to see Dick Whittington at The Palladium! It was AMAZING!!! We will definitely be back! The only disappointment after booking the tickets directly with The Palladium was the price on the ticket £39.50 and the price I paid £46.61!!! There were six of us so these extra costs left a very bad taste in my mouth!

This was a great show - fantastic costumes and scenery. The dancers were fabulous and the ventriloquist really good. Cannot fault the show - all the performers were top standard and the jokes hilarious - great for the adults!

I buy tickets for my grown up daughters every year, and they absolutely love it. This years show was no exception and they had a wonderful time. They cant wait for the next show and hope Nigel Havers gets the bigger part he requests!

This was an absolutely fantastic show. My friend and I laughed the whole way through ,our cheeks ached from so much laughing ! The costumes were wonderful especially Julian's, they suited him a treat. Gary was great, very funny and how he did those monologues we will never know. Elaine singing her old songs with new words was very clever twist and Paul and Sam were really funny. Nigel deserves an even bigger part next time as his comic timing was superb.In fact the whole cast were superb !

I don't usually like pantos but this was far from your usual "oh, no he isn't " type of show! The effects were brilliant from start to finish; it was lively, fast moving and spectacular throughout; funny in parts - most of the audience were roaring with laughter most of the time. A polished, professional show in which everyone gave their all.

Dick Whittington was an absolute triumph. I never stopped laughing from beginning to end. Julian Clary was brilliant as usual, as were all the cast. And what can be said about the phenomenon that is Charlie Stemp ? Just loved it.

It was great to attend the last performance of the run as the actors were able to have more fun. I haven't laughed that much for ages! The whole performance was brilliant and it had an amazing cast.

The show and the costumes were amazing. The only reason we give this 4* and not 5 was because didn’t really understand Nigel Havers part in this. For such a famous actor he had such an insignificant part

I haven’t been to a pantomime for a long long time, so it was a delight to sample Dick Whittington at the palladium. Exotic and colourful costumes, the stars were wonderful and singing and dancing excellent.

I took my 10 yr old as a birthday treat and the gay sexual innuendos were so extreme and abundant I had to leave st half time. Diversity he lived and the ventriloquist commedian Jack, he loves too but the rest was way over his head (fortunately ) despite asking me what everything meant when there was laughter. Pantomimes are supposed to be about childhood at Christmas time and they should refund the ticket money. What a disappointment and pretty shameful humour in the presence of children

Took my husband for a treat and we both agree it was by far the best pantomime we have ever seen. Julian Clary was amazing,so funny and what can I say about Elaine Paige other than brilliant her voice makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Not forgetting Nigel Havers and Gary Wilmot who were also very funny. Diversity were a nice surprise didn't know they were in it when I booked and the whole ensemble just made the show. Can't finish without mentioning the costumes they were awesome

I can’t fault anything - great performance by all the stars, dancers, singers etc ..... fantastic costumes, adult humour !!! I took an 8 & 4 year old - the highlight for them was diversity but hey at least they were too young to get the many adult themed phases !! Julian Cleary esp was absolutely fabulous !
