The pacing is lively, keeping that audience interaction vibe alive, which is kind of essential for a pantomime. The practical effects, while not cutting-edge, have this nostalgic feel. You get to see classic scenes like Jack climbing the beanstalk, but with a playful twist. Performances are quite spirited, and the celebrities really lean into their roles, which makes for some entertaining moments.
