The panto at Greenwich theatre is far superior to most. Written and produced by Andrew Pollard it is a real traditional panto with professional actors and not X-Factor nobodies or faded soap stars. Great music, modern and old and plenty of humour for both adults and kids. Book early!
Snow White at the London Palladium has s very good cast, normally Orchard at Dartford is good as well.
I'm taking my daughter to see this in December.
We've been to the Bob Hope Theatre in Eltham for the last couple of years and both shows have been fantastic (and tickets are only a tenner). It's obviously an amateur production but that kind if adds to the fun of it. Proper old school dames and because it's a small venue, plenty of audience participation.
Just booked for Bromley. Went last year and it was great but I have little to compare it to having not been for 30 years before that! Got discounted tickets through the boys school
I went twice one year, 1974 I think, to the Panto at what was then Catford Town Hall (now Broadway Theatre). Can't remember what it was but it was starring the cast of On The Buses and Stan, Jacko, Olive and Blakey were in it. I went one night with the cubs and a few days later with my swimming club. On the second visit I proceeded to shout out the punchlines of various jokes and skits. Reg Varney told me to shut up.

Last year we went to Sevenoaks and I thought it was a much better to be honest
That was the thick end of 20 years ago though!

Might try something different this year
If your kids are still young, join them up to The Oddfellows, they get a free ticket each year and a goody bag.
Paul Merton is starring in Aladdin this year.
