| Goldilocks and the Three Bears Review by NODA Representative Anne Key Huckerby December 2002 We
really enjoyed last Friday evening's production of "Goldilocks and the
Three Bears", and I would like you to pass on my congratulations to
both Sharon Saggs and James French (Co-Directors) for this panto appealed to all ages.
The cast had been well-chosen. Congratulations to Clare Woolley (Prince Edwin) on taking a big role at pretty short notice. She and Lisa Charnley (Goldilocks) sang well together. I like the three bears and thought Natalie Stafford (Simple Simon) and Laura Adams (Marigold) did very well in their respective parts. James Baggaley (Dick Dastardly) was a good choice as the baddie and Dean Murray made a good job of his part as Igor. The musical numbers suited the plot and a good lead was given by the musicians: Jacqueline and Frank Wesson and Fay Dorey. The choreography by Meena Womersley was lively and well rehearsed. I was very impressed with the dancing; there were some interesting routines and they had clearly rehearsed the moves well. On the whole the lighting was good; the set was strongly made and the attractive costumes were a real credit to the Wardrobe Department. Well done, everyone.
