Sleeping Beauty

Thank you for inviting me to your annual pantomime and for the lovely welcome I received. I always enjoy my visits to Kintbury and it is lovely to see so many youngsters performing on stage enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, when I came to the review the show an audience member was taken ill and collapsed so that the show was stopped at the end of act one. I am glad to hear that the audience member is now well again and that the rest of the run went off without a hitch. 

Sleeping Beauty is a lovely traditional pantomime, and the group threw themselves into the performance with enthusiasm and great camaraderie to tell the story. Together, the cast and production team created a show which combined some great performances with imaginatively designed sets and costumes to create an entertaining pantomime. I am always happy to see youngsters up on stage learning their craft and performing with the adults of the society and it is clear that under the direction of this team, the youngsters are growing in confidence in their performances. The show had been well cast and there was good chemistry and well-developed relationships between the characters. The principals gave strong performances and were very well supported by the minor principals and ensemble.  The singing and dancing were strong, and all of the cast had good rapport with the audience with some lovely audience participation.
