A dazzling family day out: our review of the sensational Peter Pan at the Gaiety

Last night, the curtain rose on Peter Pan, the 2024 Gaiety Panto, and it was nothing short of magical. From the very first note to the final bow, this spectacular production whisked the audience away on an unforgettable journey to Neverland. Directed by the brilliant Daryn Crosbie, the panto seamlessly blends the classic tale with the humour, energy, and sparkle that only the Gaiety Panto can deliver.

The cast is nothing short of exceptional. Colm Quinn's portrayal of Peter Pan exudes charm and energy, while Clodagh Kane shines as Wendy Darling, bringing warmth and grace to the stage. Nicholas Grennell’s Captain Hook is both menacing and hilarious, perfectly complemented by Donncha O'Dea’s lovable Smee. And, of course, the legendary Joe Conlan as the iconic Dame (this time as Nana) had the audience in stitches from start to finish. Ciara Lyons as Tinkerbell adds a sprinkling of sass and magic that truly lights up the stage.

The production itself is a feast for the senses. The dazzling costumes, elaborate sets, and stunning special effects bring Neverland to life in breathtaking detail. From high-energy song and dance numbers to the side-splitting comedy and heart-warming moments, this show delivers everything you could hope for in a Christmas panto—and more.

For many families, the Gaiety Panto is as much a Christmas tradition as mince pies and Santa Claus, and this year’s Peter Pan only cements its place as a must-see festive event. With tickets now extended until January 19th due to phenomenal demand, there’s no excuse to miss this enchanting experience.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the Gaiety Panto or discovering it for the first time, Peter Pan is a show that truly captures the magic of the season. Don’t walk—fly to get your tickets for what promises to be the most memorable adventure of the holidays!
