""Kat in Kixx" was fast moving, audacious and above all so much fun. The dancing was fabulous and there were plenty of feet tapping to the beat and kids bouncing up and down in their seats as the action rolled out across the stage. It was great to see the panto being multi generational and the smaller auditorium at The Dugdale allowed for far more interaction between case and audience making it a more personal experience. My sons both said they want to come and see it again!"
Mumsnet Barnet & Enfield press review
""Kat in Kixx" was a brilliant and ‘fresh’ take on Puss in Boots. Combining the traditional panto ingredients of topical comedy, song, dance, audience participation and of course the obligatory baddie, it most definitely added 'extra sole' by showcasing amazing street dance and rap performances by ‘da crew’, making it a must-see show for all the family.
The street dancing was impressive. The entire crew performed with skill and gusto, and six year old Amelie was mesmerised by a dancer who appeared to be as young as five. So talented!
As impressive as the dancing was the singing and rapping. Each crew member had a fantastic voice, putting a twist on some pleasingly recognisable tunes to which an audience was able to feet tap and chair dance!
The Dugdale is an intimate venue that made for a particularly interactive show between cast and audience, which comprised all ages but especially children aged six up. We were lucky enough to be in the front row which meant we could enter into banter with Kat and other cast members. Their talent and experience shone through as they improvised with the brilliantly-written script to accommodate (friendly!) heckles from the audience!
Amelie’s verdict: ‘The panto was so good. So cool! I loved the gargoyles and the scary dungeon the best!’ I also took a three year old who, when the offer to dance with the cast at the end went out, jumped right into the stage area and gave it her all!
The purr-fect panto - go see!"
