The Daily PollTHE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS Committee has asked RTÉ to outline how much money it has spent on Toy Show the Musical, after it emerged the production may not reach the expectations at the box office, the Irish Independent reported yesterday.
The newspaper last week reported that ahead of its opening night, just one of the musical’s over 30 shows had sold out.
The musical is based on the annual Late Late Toy Show and is about one girl’s own Toy Show adventure.
With this news, and as pantos are a big part of Ireland’s Christmas/New Year period, we want to know… Have you ever been to a Christmas panto?

Panto is just a fancy name for a bad theater performance…
@Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown: oh no it isn’t
It’s behind you!
Nope never , Not even as a child. And it’s right to ask how much money rte have spent on this.
Would love to go to one, but my friends are far too straight laced. I personally think they’re a western cultural asset that stretches back centuries…a very English/Irish thing. I’m not gay but I love the camp nature of them. I mean come on…. How could you not laugh along. But sadly I think most people think it’s just for kids.
Local community pantos, not professional. If I was to spend money on tickets for a professional one, it wouldn’t be toy show the musical
Is there a ticket for everybody in the audience?
@Paul O Connor: If they are already in the audience, why do they need a ticket?
@sean o’dhubhghaill: to get back out?!!
I would rather watch Colin Farrell’s Alexander on repeat for a week.
Yes i have.2 hours ill never get back.
have your say
