CINDERELLA

There was much to admire in this production, the cast was strong in all roles. Margaret Melvin gave us a very strong commanding performance as Baroness Hardup and the Ugly Sisters Daniel Senior and Chris Littler-Moore were most convincing. Victoria Parker had delightful stage presence and sang well with Prince Charming (Pippa Slater), who gave us an excellent robust performance. There was excellent support from Dandini (Bethany Beever) and Fairy Godmother (Louise Whitworth) who did much for the production. However the star of the pantomime was Matthew Reather as Buttons, he was simply outstanding in everything he did, he kept bubbling along with his singing and great humour. The show gained much from the wonderful set built and designed by Charlie Slater.
