Alex Wood, What's On Stage, 30th December 2022Mother Goose, Duke of York's Theatre review
The script is mostly family-friendly - Mother Goose's love of a cockatoo is about as far as it goes - although some comedy doesn't quite land.

The star-studded pantomime hits the West End stage later this week.
Mickey Jo Boucher, What's On Stage, 12th December 2022Mother Goose review
The audience simply loved this very traditional return to pantomime proper and for the most part so did I, I love the form and I love the tradition and I am heartened to see it return to Theatre Royal Brighton after a long absence. And clearly the presence of major stars sold the place out in their pre-west end and tour run.
