Beauty and the Beast at Sunderland Empire was a fantastic show to see. The whole cast were great, Tom Whalley and Miss Rory work fab together, Singing and dancing was fabulous too. Definitely a great family performance .

I was in charge of choosing and buying the Christmas treat for a primary school, ages 4-11 I couldn’t have found better, It was brilliant. Bright, funny and totally engaging for all ages including the adults. To watch the children’s faces was a picture. Thank you for a wonderful performance. A perfect panto and fabulous start for Christmas.

Xmas eve has been made perfect after going to the afternoon show. My congratulations to all the performers and everyone involved in making this a magical experience. This show has been the best so far as we go every year and it will continue. We loved it when things went wrong on stage making everyone laugh hysterically. What a great show and thank you

Wonderful show last night everyone was amazing but the youngest girl is destined to be a star!

Came today with my granddaughter after enjoying the pants here last year, but WOW this years was absolutely fantastic and 100% better all round from staging, lighting, story telling, cast all of them from main characters to young company. The songs choices were perfect. Couldn’t rave enough about how good it was.

All the family lived it going to take sister after Christmas as she missed out tonight
