Reviews

Wonderful show. Loved it and the grandkids thought it was fantastic
LINDA M., Penetanguishene
excellent show as usual. This is the third Panto that I have seen at the Wharf Theater in Penetanguishene. These shows are always entertaining. Looking forward to 2024's production.
Kathryn K., Penetanguishene
Peter Pan the Panto was just spectacular, so funny and perfect for all the members of our party from my 10 year old Granddaughter to my soon to be 60 year old hubby. A great cast with so much stand out talent! Justin Bott really has amazing comedic timing, a great singing voice and exudes a warmth that really makes the audience feel like they are in on all the jokes he delivers impeccably. Fae Lewis is amazing as Michael Darling, so professional and her voice is angelic. We can't recommend seeing this production enough, kudos to the Creative team and the Band!
Heather L, Barrie
We LOVED IT!!!! I have never been to a Panto before and now I'm kicking myself for not going to one sooner!!! What an absolutely enjoyable evening. Non-stop laughter, clapping, booing at the villain and dancing along to current musical numbers!
Heather K, Penetanguishene
I brought my grandson. It was his first time at a theatre and he had a wonderful time and is looking forward to coming back next year.
Lucy B, Port McNicoll

Hugely entertaining. Excellent cast.
Earl L, Orillia
AMAZING!!! The singing; the dancing; the set design; the costumes; the jokes. My entire family loved it; my 8 year old was on the edge of his seat the entire time. I would watch it a second time. The venue was amazing and so well organized- you could pre order items for intermission.
Desiree C, Bobcaygeon
Delightful show. Great, high energy fun.
Lynne M, Town of Blue Mountains
Fantastic music and singing and very interactive with the audience. Just enough adult content for us older folks.
Karen M, New Lowell
It was a wonderful experience. Great for adults and children. I loved the local jokes.
Neal F, Tiny
My daughter loved the audience engagement she was singing and up dancing. She loved that she knew all the music as well! An updated version of the classic Peter Pan entertaining for adults and children alike.
Julie C, Oro-Medonte
So much fun for both my 6 year old grandson and me. What talent there was on stage from all performers. Definitely A++
Meemaw Lulu G, Midland
Wonderful show. I took my grand daughter to her first live stage show. She loved it from the very first. To watch her excitement was a pure joy. She joined in all the music, dancing, boos for Captain Hook and warm hellos for Peter Pan. Drayton you never disappoint! An awesome show. Give yourselves a big high five. Job well done!!
Once again great entertainment for young and old. Kudos to the Darling children for a job very well done. Best of all, thank you Justin Bott for your magical performance of Nelly Copperbottom.
Meg S, Singhampton

Great show! Highly recommended! Great for all ages
Peter Pan was amazing! My 8 and 9 year old kids were very engaged and loved the jokes, participation, singing and dancing. As an adult I loved it just as much as they did. I have already recommended it to all my friends. Great job everyone!
