Cinderella

December 2004

The first of several panto's in my Region, this was written and directed by Michael Cross and was hugely enjoyable.  The costumes were delightful and the attractive set, together with dramatic lighting created exactly the right background to this well-loved story.  Emma Flowers in the title role was ideally cast with Sharon Sutton doing an excellent job as the Fairy Godmother.  Jimmy French and Paul Coleman worked together very well as the Ugly Sisters with their outfits becoming more and more outrageous as the panto progressed and Adam Patman's role as Buttons was quite outstanding.  The rest of the main characters played their parts well and the youthful chorus moved and sang well.  The lively choreography was by Clare Cole and the trio of musicians with Chris Lochery as M.D. made a valuable impact.  Congratulations.
