Their [industry professionals] contributions provide a fascinating insight not only into some of the secrets and tricks that help produce the magic we see on stage, but also help complement and develop the ideas of the author. I would highly recommend it to anyone working in pantomime or teaching it in the post-16 sector. -Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama It is rare for a scholarly work to be so handy with the nuts and bolts of performance. Millie Taylor has been the musical director of British professional pantomimes, and there has never been a better guide than this to the true priorities of those who stalwartly produce them. - Peter Thompson, Editor of Studies in Theatre & Performance Altogether, British Pantomime Performance is an informative, thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable read. The clarity of the writing, the breadth of knowledge and the obvious enthusiasm of the author for her subject makes this an excellent resource for students, scholars and practitioners of British musical theatre. Given the relative lack of scholarship in this area, it may also help to stimulate further investigation into this hugely popular but largely under-appreciated art form. - Miranda Lundskaer-Nielsen, Studies in Musical Theatre
