🎭It’s national Panto Day - oh yes it is! 🎭So let’s celebrate this fabulous theatrical festive tradition with a few scenes from Harriet Cooper’s review of this year’s pantomime at Norwich Theatre Royal - a coastal Cinderella 🎭It’s during the energetic opening number that we meet Cinders (a perfectly pitched performance by Georgia May Foote, Coronation Street, Strictly Come Dancing) and learn how she’s toiling away at the Hardup Hotel for her Wicked Sisters - Lavinia aka ‘Lav’ and Louisa aka ‘Lou’ - following the death of her parents. 🎭There is nothing quite like a pantomime dame and the siblings are played brilliantly by Kenny Moore and Owen Evans respectively. There’s a Fairy Godmother (Hannah-Jane Fox), whose attempts to speak in rhyme don’t go according to plan; Prince Charming (Danny Hatchard), who is more concerned with launching his singing career than settling down; and his faithful sidekick Dandini (Jeevan Braich, who can certainly belt out a tune). Plus Cinderella’s bestie, the lovable Buttons, the talented Joe Tracini IRL, who also wrote this year’s panto. 🎭Expect two hours of non-stop fun. Aimee Leigh’s dance routines are dynamic and the ensemble delivers them brilliantly; and you’ll likely recognise all the songs, albeit with lyrics rearranged by musical director Lee Freeman. 🎭My absolute favourites are Lou and Lav, whose comic timing is delightful. And their costumes… Kirsteen Wythe has excelled herself. In the final scene, which takes place at a vintage funfair, the Wicked Sisters’ helter skelter/carousel/big top-themed outfits are genius. 🎭Bravo to all the creative team. I can totally believe they start planning the next panto even before this year’s one has begun - the level of detail is striking; the going-to-the-ball scene, when Cinderella’s voluminous dress shimmers with what seems like a thousand diamonds and she rides in a glittery carriage pulled by twinkling feather-plumed carousel horses. Well, it’s the stuff of fairytales. 📍Cinderella is at the Norwich Theatre Royal until 4 January 2026 #pressinvite #panto #cinderella 📷 © @richardjarmy @norwichtheatre
