Ian from Visit West reviews Goldilocks and the Three Bears at Bristol Hippodrome, which runs until 5 January.

Goldilocks and The Three Bears was a vibrant, wonderful performance. It's a show for all ages, and there's something for all to enjoy as you band together to save the circus.

From the outset, people were there to have a good time, and some of the audience were dancing and singing in their seats waiting for the performance to begin!

The cast and crew of Goldilocks gave them plenty more reason to, as the performance was delightful.

The cast were excellen, with Lucy Conley as Goldilocks, Brian Conley as Billy Barnum and David Robins as Dame Betty Barnum.

The sets and costumes were captivating; and there was spectacle aplenty between the magic, the choreography, and more you'll see on the night.
