It’s only been nine months since Holiday On Ice was last at Westpoint with Robin Cousins‘ excellent Tropicana , but given the reception the latest spectacular, Speed , received last night, it has lost none of its appeal for Exeter audiences.
Much has been made in pre-publicity about the use of motorbikes in the show, so we went expecting a full-on evening of leather and two-stroke oil on ice - what we got was something completely different.

What a great night we had on 5th November, courtesy of The Exeter Daily. I just can't believe how much money must have been spent on the fireworks, the pictures on this site are great but don't do the event full justice. The display went on for ages and the fireworks were spectacular from start to finish, towards the end it was mind-blowing with lots all being set off at the same time and merging together in the cold night sky. Great that it was a clear night, even though very cold.
Thank you Round Table, well worth a visit and I will be coming again next year !
Westpoint Arena was heaving last night for the Round Table's annual Fireworks Display, which raises money for local good causes. And the crowds were not disappointed.

I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it.
Yes, it's that incredibly catchy song from Madagascar which got the younger half of the audience at Westpoint this evening up on their feet and dancing round in front of the stage, while the older members looked on enviously at their lack of self-consciousness and simply tapped their toes, rather than wiggling along too.
This is Dreamworks' stage adaptation of their hit film franchise Madagascar and although the plot is necessarily condensed for the stage, it loses none of its charm and fun.
