Scrooge: the Pantomime, Cottiers Theatre

Scrooge: the Pantomime, Cottiers Theatre

This Christmas, treat you and your loved ones to the finest and most entertaining pantomime  ever……eh probably. Read more …

Scrooge the Panto at the Cottier’s Theatre In the West End of Glasgow.

This modern adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens story finds the glum tight fisted Scooge working in his Glasgow pawn shop, robbing the public blind and spreading doom and gloom to all who come his way.

There’s live music, singing and some very basic dancing. Laughter, tears and sweet, sweet misery.

Starring Mark Cox (Tam from still Game), Claire Knight (Iona from River City)  and Callum Cuthbertson (Gary’s da in Gary Tank Commander).

More information on this production is available at www.scroogepanto.com.

The critical consensus

Though it kept revving up to be killingly funny, it tended to flatline.

I completely agree. I thought the show was fabulous ,extremely funny and well written with some amazing singing.
The cast were multi talented and multi tasking and full of energy.
It was very encouraging to see so much talent and originality under the one roof. The show deserves to do well and I would encourage you to see it.

Five stars! If your meagre budget will only stretch to one panto this season, pick this one. You won't be disappointed. I went to see this show last night and it was fantastic. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. True, it is on a tight budget and Cottiers is a no frills venue but that only added to the appeal. This version of Scrooge should have been called 'Glasgow Scrooge' since it was very firmly set here. There were plenty of laughs, plenty of gags, plenty of chances to join in and surprises a plenty too! The cast quadrupled up, and some, and played each part with the same fervour as the last. From the interval music to the 'Christmas in a high rise flat' closing song, this panto was as festive as they come. I'm well and truly set up for Crimbo now. So glad I booked, it was sold out - so don't take any chances, book in advance.
