This Panto confirms everything I love about our hobby. Spectacular production with all the elements of tradition mixed with a load of fun.

Well written and produced by Tom, stylishly choreographed by Donna and music expertly managed by Paul what is not to like! The cast were on form and the gags came thick and fast. I loved the change in dynamics with the principle boy Prince Angus joining in the slapstick.

Snow White was expertly played by the lovely Abby McLean (I also had great reports about the other Snow White, Beth McDonald) your dancing and singing were of an excellent quality. Prince Angus was a charming character, full of fun, portrayed by Andrew Taylor. You handled the distractions of panto mayhem with a professionalism beyond your age. Our fun duo Dame Pepper Pots (Darren Handy) and Potty Pots (Darren Gill) were the icing on the cake. Slapstick spot on! Laughs, jokes and fun audience participation were excellent. Good and bad were well represented by Elaine Thomson (The spirit of the Mirror), Adelle Candy (Queen Narcissa) and her sidekick Ciaryn Rioch (Bowfin). You brought these characters to life with great characterisation and lovely vocals. No Snow White story is complete without the ‘miners’! A special mention goes to Ry, Marshall, Aimee, Ailsa, Callie, Libby and Yvie who complete a very impressive principal line up along with the Herald (Alisdair Semple). Ensemble, I hope you are all enjoying yourselves because you deserve all the applause you receive.  Fabulous dancing with happy smiles.

The gorgeous costumes and stunning set (I loved the mirror) completed this impressive performance. As always thanks must go to the unseen heroes backstage, front of house, sound and lighting. Thank you Nova Production. We enjoyed our evening especially Iain’s cameo role. You will rock your last few performances.
