CINDERELLA

This was an excellent pantomime with some truly brilliant principals in all the various roles and some fine well rehearsed production numbers especially the ballroom scene which was packed with well chosen musical numbers to suit all ages. The singing and dancing of Charlotte Thornton (Prince Charming) and Paige Smith (Cinderella) were a delight to watch. Two other eyecatching performances came from Jane Ellaway (Fairy Godmother), she was brilliant with a wonderful sense of timing and a fine voice, and Suze Trim (Baroness Velma Von Strapt) who gave us a master class in this role. Her rendition of the Big Spender number was worthy of Shirley Bassey. The Ugly Sisters Tom Daley (Liseria) and Steven Holt (Salmonella) kept the comedy moving along with a very well performed nutcracker comis ballet. Buttons (Paul Metcalfe) never missed a chance  to find a funny movement to amuse the audience. All the other cast members were of a very high standard. The production was well produced and the choreography well organised. Lovely costumes stage sets and well chosen music along with good sound and lighting of a very high standard gave us all a fine night's entertainment that was much enjoyed by the large audience.
