The most loved of all pantos, and the plot line almost sacrosanct. This version concentrates on comic set pieces, especially those involving the Ugly Sisters.
The most loved of all pantos, and the plot line almost sacrosanct. This version concentrates on comic set pieces, especially those involving the Ugly Sisters. Outstanding are a vintage car scene and a classic ballroom scene involving several musical styles and hilarious dialogue. Another scene has Cinders and Buttons spirited to a South Seas island when Fairy Foozle gets her co-ordinates wrong! There is a secondary plot called "The Baron's Revenge" on a hen-pecked husband theme.

Thank you for an excellent and funny script, the best I've read in my long search for material.

Cinderella was performed over the weekend after 6 months of rehearsals. It was FABULOUS!!!!!!! I can't tell you how well it went down. Petunia's fake leg will go down in history as one of the great comedy moments. One addition you might enjoy was that after Lady Hardup asks if the Baron is on Viagra, they performed "You're The One That I Want", from Grease, just as J Travolta and Olivia Newton John did it, right down to the stubbing out of the cigarette. That stopped the show. Thank you so much for the script. It was superb.
