Freezin' The Panto

In a cold December evening, Johnstone was the place to be as ‘Freezin’ was certainly the coolest panto in the District.  It told the magical tale of the Snow Queen with toe tapping musical numbers throughout and plenty of frosty sparkle. The kind hearted Princess Elsa was the Snow Queen, gracefully portrayed by Shiranne Burns with Kirsty Reid as the more adventurous Princess Anna.  Craig Inglis made a fantastic dame as Nanny Annie who engaged well with members of the audience and had us in stitches in the highly entertaining kitchen scene with Ross White and John Steel as the Heston Harriot the Royal Chef and Assistant Chef.  Daniel McDonald gave an excellent performance as Patch the ‘odd-job’ village idiot who also displayed impressive vocals.  Andrew Scott was well cast as the King Bumble as was Mhairi Heron as Frosty the Snowman.  Barry Orr was at complete ease in providing a first-rate performance as the chilling villain, Jack Frost.  Musical numbers were well chosen and the presentation of solos and ensembles were of a high standard.  The panto was well costumed with the scenery set using LED panels which worked extremely well.  This panto was completely new to me and everyone on stage worked hard to provide a most entertaining evening.  Well done to one and all and I thank you for inviting me to your show.
