| Cinderella Review by NODA Representative Anne Key Huckerby 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.
