A huge heartfelt thanks to the cast, crew and all our staff who worked tirelessly over the festive season but mostly to all 35,646 of you who joined us in the auditorium."

"Went to the Inverness Pantomime tonight at Eden Court. It was the best one I've ever seen!!!" she said.
"And hats off to those performers doing that twice a day.
"Everyone was brilliant. #beautyandthebeast #imsexyandiknowit."
