Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been to many pantomimes over the years with my family, but Snow White at The Roxy was by far the best we’ve seen. We were laughing from start to finish — and not just the kids! The performances were brilliant, the atmosphere was buzzing, and the newly renovated venue was honestly unbelievable. It’s such a fantastic space and made the whole experience even more special.
What really stood out was the quality. The show was packed with energy, music, colour, and clever comedy, yet the ticket prices were incredibly reasonable — which, as a parent, is such a bonus when planning festive days out. It felt like a treat without the guilt.
“I loved the singing and dancing!” – A
“My favourite part was when they squirted us with water!” – L
My two had the best time. A couldn’t stop singing on the way home and is now determined to be on stage one day! And L was absolutely thrilled by the water guns moment — classic panto chaos that had the whole audience howling. Those spontaneous giggles and gasps are what make theatre like this so magical for kids.
The show itself was a real joy. There were spot-on impressions (even a cheeky Trump one!), and the jokes felt fresh, funny and right on point. Snow White kept all the traditional charm of panto but added enough modern sparkle to keep it feeling exciting and new.
Behind the Curtain – Meet the Creators
The production was created by Reece Sibbald Productions, who specialise in top-quality family theatre. Based in the North East and founded in 2017, their shows are known for combining classic storytelling with a fun, modern twist. They’ve built a strong reputation across the UK for crafting interactive, imaginative, and heartwarming entertainment — and Snow White was a perfect example of that.
Their mission is clear: bring traditional tales to life in unforgettable ways, and judging by the sheer joy on every child’s face (and most of the grown-ups too!), they’ve nailed it.
A Venue Worth Visiting
This was the first professional pantomime staged at the newly refurbished Roxy Theatre at Watling Spaces, and what a debut! The theatre was stylish, comfortable and well thought-out — not a bad seat in the house. The staff were beyond helpful and incredibly kind, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made everything run smoothly.
Final Thoughts
From start to finish, Snow White was a brilliant experience. It had something for everyone — music, laughter, a fantastic cast, and plenty of moments that had us crying with laughter. Whether you’re taking little ones or going for the nostalgia, this show is a must-see.
Highly recommend — a brilliant pantomime and a great day out for all ages!
