Sleeping Beauty

There was a lovely set, with backdrops painted in a slightly Clarice Cliff style, with nice bright colours.  Set construction was excellent and scene changes were handled seamlessly by the stage crew.

The six piece band were fabulous and kept the pace going along nicely for this cracking Pantomime.

There was a very talented line-up of Principals, but none more so than the amazing Pantomime Dame. He had a great rapport with the audience and ad libbed with ease.  He had adults and children alike roaring with laughter and would not look out of place in any professional production in the country.  He was simply outstanding.

The choreography was varied and very well executed by an excellent group of dancers. They had obviously worked very hard and did a good job of making lovely even patterns and had a good energy throughout. The dances had a lovely mix of steps that were suitable for everyone on stage and it never looking too crowded, despite a large cast.

The children were all gorgeous.  They danced beautifully and were full of character; especially one little boy who played Fairy Yellow with attitude and is a star in the making.

The costumes were stunning and the hair and makeup team did a good job of making everyone look sunny and bright.

Lighting and effects were equally impressive, with pyrotechnics, lasers and UV all working to great effect to enhance the scenes and sound was well balanced and also excellent.

This was a high quality, professional looking pantomime, expertly directed by Luke Willmore and superbly acted by every person on the stage.  Warminster are very lucky to have such a talented group of people to entertain them.
