ANOTHER HILARIOUS SHOW!

Amazing show as always, I've seen the last four productions and each one has been fantastic. No, it isn't the "Dalt Wisney" version, thankfully! I'm glad that some people stumbled in thinking they were getting a princess type of show, young people can only benefit from seeing a send up of the modern fairy tale. This show has laughs for the whole family, my 6 and 3 year old loved it! I don't like like letting them watch Disney movies, this is much healthier entertainment for kids!

GREAT MUSICAL NUMBERS AND LOTS OF FUN

We loved this show. Ross Petty and his troupe of singers and dancers really know how to entertain an audience. The laughs are provided by the bumbling Plumbun played by Dan Chameroy and the evil sea serpent Ogopogo played by Ross Petty. The cast members perform one production number after another and the interaction with the audience continues throughout the evening. The sets and costumes were dazzling too . This play was so much fun I was sorry when it ended. I look forward to next years pantomime production

LAUGH OUT LOUD FUN!

As a first time Ross Petty Panto show goer, I had no idea what to expect. To be honest, I've seen ads on the TTC for these shows in the past. Thought they looked like cheesy remakes of classic fairy tales using Canadian "celebrities". Was I being a theatre snob? Perhaps. But, i've never laughed so much during a show until I saw this version of the Little Mermaid. The cast was amazing. The jokes kept coming. Both kids and adults had a good time. To the people who felt misled. The poster would have said DISNEY's The Little Mermaid. Similar to how it says Disney's Aladdin - which happens to be showing next door. Apparently, Ross Petty has been doing this for 18 years - so, it's nothing new. I'm curious what he'll come up with next year!

THE LITTLE MERMAID WITH A TWIST

I had no idea that this was not the Disney version of The Little Mermaid. One of, actually my favorite Disney classic and it was my birthday present. My partner bought the tickets for me and weren't we surprised when the curtain lifted to find out there would be no Ariel, no Sebastian but Sponge Bill Triangle Pants instead?!?!?! Though it was entertaining it was an expensive mislead.

NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK

I thought it would be similar to the Disney version of "The Little Mermaid", but to my surprise (and I am sure to MANY) it had NO relation to the movie I felt really bad for the little girls who showed up at the show dressed up as Ariel, I can only imagine their disappointed faces. I found it strange that they were selling "The Little Mermaid" Disney souvenirs just outside the theater doors before the show started. A lot of the people around me were talking about how disappointed they were with the show and that it was OVER PRICED for what it was. Some of the jokes and choices of words that were made on stage were unnecessary. The story line was a HUGE disappointment. I understand that they couldn't copy the story line, but they could have come up with a better story line to keep it a "fairy-tail-princess" theme for all families to enjoy! On a positive note, stage performers had great voices and performed well. To sum it up, stage performers were great but the story line a failure
