2008 Pantomime

Our 2008/9 South Wales production is ‘Cinderella’,

This is another Christmas Favourite that also features a selection of songs that children are familiar with, not nursery rhymes that insult their intelligence.

Depending on the production, songs could feature artistes such as Sugarbabes, Take That, Girls Aloud, etc...... plus many more......

The Show

Bullied by her two Ugly Sisters, Cinder’s future looks bleak until the Fairy Godmother casts a spell and sends her to the ball.

How will the Prince ever find her when she flees at midnight, leaving behind a single glass slipper?

Let Buttons be your host for a treat of traditional panto fun with plenty of parking space for your pumpkin.

This is a much loved fairy-tale played out in the traditional Pantomime style with all the highs and lows, fun and villainy, boos and hisses you have come to expect from this romantic tale.

Fully costumed, with traditional scenery, and a self-contained light show, this Panto is played out by a professional team of actors and singers.

It is a must for the children, whatever age, whatever the venue, be it school, club or theatre.

Enjoyment is the only aimfor the cast of Cinderella.

The producers of this show are The Panto Company who are solely represented by ourselves in Wales and the South West. Contact us for availabilities.

Our production can tailor the size of the show, due to expandable scenery, as well as the size of the cast, to perform in venues as diverse as small as pub lounges to national theatre tours.

When you book Cinderella, you get:

• Six Professional actors, each chosen to provide you with the best show ever.
• Amazing specially made costumes; each character changes costume at least twice.
• Incredible scenery, with at least two set changes! No other company does that!
• ALL actors on radio microphones – no more huddling around a couple of lead mics at the front of the stage.
• Up to date chart songs and dance routines that will have everyone singing along!
• Professional, self-contained sound and light systems that bring the excitement of LIVE Theatre to your venue.

We have given permission for local agents to sell this show on our behalf.

References are available from all major venues.
