Kirkcaldy’s unique wee panto, Oor Wee Mammy McGoose, shortlisted for Scottish award
Kirkcaldy’s brilliant wee panto has been shortlisted for a national award for the second year in a row.
The Kings Theatre team behind Oor Wee Mammy McGoose has been included in the ‘outstanding pantomime’ category of the CATS - the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland.
It is the latest accolade for the show which features a cast of just five, and which packed the intimate venue during a smash-hit six week run which saw full houses and five-star reviews.
It is the second year in a row that the Kings’ panto has been shortlisted by the Scottish critics. It is up against Aladdie from the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr, Puss In Boots, which was staged in Blantyre, and The Snow Queen in Perth.
The latest accolade comes just weeks after the panto scored two nominations in the UK Pantomime Association’s 2026 awards.
Suzi Budd was nominated for best direction, and actor Ross Forbes-Mackenzie for best secondary lead. Both were new to the Lang Toun venue’s panto last year - the fifth annual show to be staged at the Esplanade theatre.
