Cinderella

~~What a wonderful start to the Christmas season, a practically full house of expectant parents and equally expectant and excited children, with their illuminated ‘princess’ head-dresses etc, looking forward to a wonderful afternoon.

Minimal scenery, with well designed costumes (Megan Murray), made this whole show a pleasure to watch and, together with the talented cast and excellent musical direction, one was soon transported away to Fairyland by Katie Redpath as a rather hip and trendy ‘mod’ Fairy Godmother.  Charlie Vincent was an admirable Buttons, goodness knows how many miles he ran to and fro across the stage.  Natalie Kershaw was a delightful Cinderella very well accompanied by the ever talented Jennette White as Prince Charming. The two Ugly Sisters were excellently played by Drew Howorth and Carl Murray and further slapstick comedy provided by Ashley Veres and Craig Deacon as Leggett and Bodget.  As always, the small children’s chorus practically stole the show.

This was a very ‘professionally’ produced pantomime with an excellent script (Alan P Frayn) very well portrayed by a talented cast.
