And everyone is loving the show!
Everyone is talking about the return of our award winning pantomime, which this year is Sleeping Beauty, and we’ve had a wonderful opening fortnight! Here’s what people are saying…
Press reviews
★★★★★ “Sleeping Beauty has all the humour and mayhem we love about pantos, with jokes and music, singing and dancing, audience participation, and more than just a touch of magic… Once word gets out about just how good this one is, you may struggle to get tickets”

“Lauren Steele who plays Nellie (Sleeping Beauty) has a wonderful voice and is full of energy and fun. She is perfectly matched by Luke Haywood, who plays Ollie. Madelaine Macmahon is the truly brilliant ‘baddie’ Blista, who had us all booing and hissing as any good panto villain will. The pantomime Dame – Madge Ickle, played by Dion Davies, easily had the entire audience involved and joining in from the start, with the help of sidekick Wally, brilliantly played by Andrew Franklin. For us, Geraint Rhys Edwards stole the show at times, in his role as Prince Dudley. But he couldn’t have done so without the chemistry between the actors.”

“The incredible set, provided by Glitter Pantomimes, was outstanding throughout the whole performance. The use of levels, texture and colour helped the audience easily follow along with the characters on their multiple journeys to save the princess.”
