Panto wows full houses

If you missed this years TADS Panto' then you missed a real treat.

Tenbury is extremely lucky to have both an excellent venue in the Regal, and a troop of talented actors to perform.

We a doubly lucky that so many of these talented performers are still at school, so will hopefully be available to entertain us for years to come.

Tenbury's Jack & the Beanstalk, was a truly local production with even the script written locally.

Every performance was well received by a rumbustious audience who all seemed to have a thoroughly good time.

I hate to single out individual performances with such a strong cast, but again this year, Hannah Wragg delivered a strong performance this time as Chuckles, (and bolstered the signing of some of the weaker singers by singing from the wings) and Julia Bailey as Gelda the (non speaking) Golden Goose, who gave a memorable comic performance whenever she appeared on stage, and finally India Morris, as this years evil character, Zarabonda the Witch.

Well done all, and hopefully you will be able to perform again next year, even if the Regal is not available due to renovations.

I went to see this pantomime on saturday night. I think that there are many other cast members who deserve a mention. These include: The Giant, Jack, Titch the Snitch and Uggle and Oggle. The goose was brilliant. I feel that Zarabonda's performance, while passable was vastly inferior to other baddies whom have performed in recent years.
I have heard that Hannah Wragg refused to take her bow in the finale as it wasn't feasible for her to perform in the sing a long. This caused a hold up in proceedings which left many audience members wondering what was happening.

I quite agree, there were many good performances. I had the advantage? of being at all 4 performances and the dress rehearsal, so took a wider view.
