The best kids Christmas show ever?

This is not a sponsored post. I didn't get anything free for this. This is a bona fide, genuine, straight from the heart raving review.

At Christmas we are bombarded with advertising for children's shows, plays, pantomimes. We've done the Richmond panto, the Wimbledon panto, the Snowman, the Lyric panto etc etc. They were all good in their own way but the kids didn't really really love them and were always wheedling to go home by the interval.

But then yesterday we went to see this. The Railway Children. And it - was - fabulous. Our ages ranged from five to sixty five. And we all totally loved it. We had seats at the back but it didn't matter - every single seat is a brilliant one. The performers make full use of the old converted Eurostar platform and everyone gets a proper taste of the action. Bobby even waved to Senior and commented on her pretty glittery hair band which had Senior squirming in delight. And then there is the big magic revealing moment in the middle which I couldn't possibly tell you as it would spoil all the fun.. All in all it is a wonderful, old fashioned, interactive, beautifully produced two hours of fabulousness and I highly highly recommend it if you can get to London by 8th January when it ends.

My mother joined us by train from Hampshire - one of the benefits of being set in Waterloo station so it is very handy to get to. And walking through the deserted Eurostar terminal to get to the theatre took both my husband and I back on a sentimental journey of the days when we use to RUN for the train to Paris on our various work trips.. They even have all the original signs and escalators..

Forget the Snowman - this is the one..

Not to be missed..
