Review of Kay’s Theatre Group’s 70th Anniversary Pantomime Delight

City: The show took place in a lively local theatre, where Kays Theatre Group celebrated their 70th anniversary with a bang.

After seven decades, they’ve really nailed the art of comedy, and their latest production, The Glass Slipper, is no exception.

This isn’t your typical Cinderella story; it kicks off right at the wedding ceremony, showing how far Cinderella has come.

From the get-go, the audience was thrown into a wonderfully chaotic wedding scene, setting the stage for a night of fun.

Lottie Heels and Charlie Green, playing Ella and Prince Charming, were fantastic. Their chemistry was spot on, and they were backed by a talented group of singer-dancers.

The singing was top-notch, and the harmonies were just beautiful. It was clear everyone was having a blast on stage.

Fairy G, played by Barry North, was a standout. He had the crowd laughing and cheering, proving he’s a natural entertainer.

With his charming presence and quick wit, he really knew how to engage the audience, even when things didn’t go perfectly.

Sure, there were a few hiccups—missed lines and props that didn’t cooperate—but that just added to the charm of the night.

The audience was as much a part of the show as the actors, creating a lively atmosphere that made for a memorable experience.

For kids seeing a theatre show for the first time, it was a delightful mix of singing, dancing, and plenty of laughs.

Buttons, played by Aadil Din, was a hit with the younger crowd, along with the hilarious Ugly Sisters and the magical unicorns.

Jo Hughes, as the wicked stepmother Grizelda, brought the boos and hisses, embodying the classic villain perfectly.

And let’s not forget Matt Swatton, who hilariously played a 69-year-old, despite being nowhere near that age!

Before you know it, the show wraps up, and the cast waves goodbye, leaving everyone wanting more.

If you’re in the mood for a fun night out, this pantomime is definitely worth checking out!
