This sell out panto had everything an audience wanted.  A baddie to boo at and a goodie to cheer and lots of fun in-between

Heading the production was Harriet Gordon as Aladdin, wonderful voice.  Harriett was well supported by Evie O’Malley as Princess Jasmine.  The two worked well together.  Aladdin’s Mother, Widow Twankey was played by Paul Atkins.  Wonderful stage presence and great costumes.  Paul should play these types of roles more often.  Playing Twankey’s other son was James Hutt as Wishy Washy, who had a great rapport with the audience.  How the children loved him.  The baddie of the panto was given to Dave Thane who played a wonderful Abanazar.  He gave it his all and how the children booed him every time he came on stage.  The Spirit of the ring and the Genie were well played by Micah Hardwick-Beckford and Jerome Pinnock-Glasgow and they gave good support to the main principals together with Kane Blundell and Connor Taylor as Sergeant Tik and PC Tok.

Both the Senior and junior ensemble worked well, gave great support and looked good on stage.  You could see that the whole company were enjoying themselves and working well together. 

The scenery looked good; all credit to the SAT building team and costumes looked great, nice and bright.

Congratulations to Emily and Dexter on another successful panto and thank you for the invite and the chance to see this production.
