This was my first Jedward panto and although I attended the three final shows of the run, there was no deja vu because the lads improvise so much and this makes each performance unique.
All the songs featured were either Jedward tracks or big hits by other artists so it was impossible not to singalong to. For Young Love the lads appeared in opposite boxes which was very exciting for the children sitting there. Their faces were a delight. What's Your Number mashed up with Gangnam Style went down a storm as did their Guetta-style dance track, Luminous.
John and Edward are the stars of this eponymous show, but credit also has to go to Widow Twankey who was a match for them in the ad-libbing stakes. I hope he returns next year.

Favourite moment: The stage debut of John and Edward's dog, Blaze, drove the squee levels through the roof. @
