Wow what a long pantomime [3hrs].

Sarah Knight lead the cast with a very good portrayal of the character Cinderella and was everything needed in a wannabe princess . Jac Ellis’s Buttons was the audiences friend and in a twist, the Fairy Godmothers assistant. James Dyer gave a strong performance as Prince Charming ably supported by Megan Jones as Dandini. Derek Williams as Baron Hardup played the suffering step-father with ease to Damon Miles’s [Candy] and Gavin Nelson’s [Floss] excellent performances of the step-daughters/ ugly sisters which contained stunning costumes, acid insults and a sprinkling of ad libs and wig malfunctions.

Good was played with a fine performance by Zoe Brook [The Fairy Godmother] while evil was in abundance by Julie Griffiths [Lady Demonica]. Good comedy performances were given by Ieuan Benney as Grabbit and Elis Slightly as Nabbit.

A well-balanced cast with a variety of ages, talents and experience. The younger members of the cast were well disciplined.

Costumes we’re bright and colourful, Scenery supplied by Scenic Property Cwmbran complimented this production.

Congratulations everyone at Colstars.
