“the extraordinary tale is executed with perfect clarity and sets your imagination on fire...two hours of blissfully uplifting theatre...everything you could wish for from a festive production.”

“this hugely enjoyable and at times uproariously funny two hours that in the best Tobacco Factory Theatres festive traditions will appeal to all the family. Let the power of theatre lift you up this Christmas.”

“It’s a wonderful story, beautifully told and exquisitely performed...It’s also very funny, tummy-achingly so, and that music, well let’s just say it made me want to see Verity’s show Mmm Hmmm all over again”

“Richard Holt is a little kooky and a lot of charming as the Prince...Amalia Vitale is a genuine scene stealer in each of her roles”

“The Light Princess, is absolutely enchanting....The prince (Richard Holt) and princess (Suzanne Ahmet) are adorable, the performances from Rew Lowe & Amalia Vitale are hilarious, the music is awesome, and the costumes are gorgeous. It's on till 10 January, highly recommended.”

“I don’t think I remember a Bristol stage ever being so gorgeously inviting, no set has ever smacked me so in the face with ‘Christmas!’ (in a good way)...I absolutely loved, loved, loved this show and I urge to to get yourself tickets. If there are any left.”

“the ridiculously talented Musical Director Verity Standen… her musical passion seems to explode into everything she creates and her writing is little short of genius...she brings even more colour and personality to Eddolls’ already vibrant set, piercing our souls with beauty, conducting her a cappella orchestra with mastery”
