Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just got back from the Christmas Eve performance of Aladdin at ThePlace, Oakengates and it was a fabulous experience. The whole cast were brilliant and were obviously enjoying the panto too. Widow Twanky and Wishy Washy were outstanding. It was a laugh a minute and would rival any panto anywhere in the country. We were three generations of the family and everyone enjoyed it. There were no “famous faces” in the cast but they were all stars in their own right. If you want to forget everything go and have some fun at Oakengates.

Outstanding performance particularly by Wishy-washy who carried the show and kept it moving forward. All performers were excellent however. I was happily surprised by the venue, decorations, facilities and ease of parking.

Not to be missed.

Took friends as a birthday treat. What a fantastic night. The band were terrific and the D.J. was superb. Only criticism is they needed more bar staff but that apart, a fantastic night!

Just need to make people aware of this theatre.
It has NO COVID-19 restrictions.
I previously went to a Theatre in Stoke and we had to do a test 48 hrs before the show. Also had to show our Covid pass or be refused entry and everyone to wear masks..Theatre not full.
But THE PLACE, well, no testing, no pass and definitely no masks..
We were crammed in like cattle.
I now have COVID-19..Only place in the last week that I went.

Only plus..the show was great..but not worth getting ill for 😷🤒😥

Went to see Jasper Carrot at the place Oakengates Telford and what a brilliant show it was he was joined by Bev Bevan and his group and the girl singer out of the quill and the singer that used to be with the rocking berries. They were all exellent and the show went on for 3 hours with a short break in between,the stories and jokes he told had the whole of the theatre in stitches it was a brilliant night and well worth the money which all the seats were £25 no matter where you sat all in all a fantastic night and I certainly recomend if you want a good nights entertainment

For the second year we travelled 150 miles to go with the grandchildren to see Jack and the Beanstalk at the Place. Noisy, raucous, and eldest grand daughter was nearly hoarse by the end of it with all the shouting. We go on her birthday so it is guaranteed to be a noisy affair. You either join in or get wet, or join in and still get wet.

Great pantos here, traditional, loads of audience participation, better than our local one down South. We will be back next year.

Two hour show.

Russell Watson show very badly organised, late starting, stewards didn't seem to have much knowledge of seating plan. Seats were awful, uncomfortable and crammed in with no leg room . Thank goodness for Russell !!

What a load of crap!
This poor review is solely about the 'entertainment' on the night and not about this theatre.
I went with a open mind but after 20 minutes I had heard enough of the rubbish that I was witnessing. Even the *lucky ones* who supposedly received a message had no clue what he was talking about most of the time.
This man earns his living by conning the venerable.
On the plus side the theatre has a nice bar, which was the only thing that kept me going that night.

First time at a Panto and definitely won’t be the last. The whole family laughed throughout, such a fun afternoon!

Came to see jack and the beanstalk on the 22nd, we come every year, it starts our xmas! We would come with granddchildren when they younger, but as they no longer want to attend we come on our own! This year, we bought along inlaws and sister and brother in law, we had a great evening! Panto fab! We loved jack, the dame, and the fairy! But best acting performance from from the villain! He was fab! Had a laugh and old fashioned fun! Wish we had realised there was also a adult version shown! Next year hopefully we can come along to that session! Continue the great work, would not be xmas without panto, also the giant and the flying car brill!
