CINDERELLA (2010)

Macclesfield Majestic Theatre Group

Director Michael Daws
Choreographers Lucie Knutton & Sue Clayton
Musical Director Stephen Hearson

Once again this company gave us a first class pantomime with some fantastic touches. Congratulations to the production team for their efforts, using wonderful ideas, good choreography and great musical numbers in keeping with the story-line.

Emily Knutton made a great Cinders, bringing a fresh approach to the role and updating it which worked well. She worked well with all the company and the banter between her and Prince Charming brought laughter to the audience. Phil Mason was excellent in the role of the Prince, with his deep voice and an almost Elvis approach. Dan Medina, made a great Buttons and soon had the audience on his side along with Robbie Medina as Baroness Hetty Hardup. A great twist to this production had the two baddies as Puppets, worked excellently by Luke Clayton and Matthew Hulme. For me though it was the ugly sisters Collette Desborough and Heidi Cook who brought the house down with their antics. Their costumes were incredible and they both gave wonderful performances.

All principals worked hard and were supported with a great chorus of singers and dancers and well done to all the little ones who were very well drilled in their routines.

As I said this was first class and especially for opening night. Well done to you all and I thank you for you kind hospitality afforded to Bob and myself.
