Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Lydia (12) and Ruth Kellett (10)
A fantastic family atmosphere at the Panto in Mansfield. Plenty of "oh no he isn't" and "he's behind you!"

Lydia's review

Muddles

Mark James who played the Jester Muddles stole the show for me. I loved the faces he pulled, the swing in his walk and the way he swayed, nervously, when he proposed to Snow White. He was so silly I couldn't help laughing.

Su Pollard

The evil queen played by Su Pollard was another of my favourites. She was funny and she showed off a spicy side when she sang 'Let Me Entertain You'. Although at times I thought she could have been a little more evil!

Dwarfs

They amazed and really impressed me.  I'm used to seeing the parts played by children rather than dwarfs.  They all managed to show off different personalities. 'Silly' in particular, said a lot without talking once!

Prince

I was slightly disappointed to see the Prince being played by a man rather than a woman. I felt it went against the rules of pantomime but felt cheered up when he kissed Snow White to make her alive again. I understand that wouldn't have worked as well if he'd been a girl.

Show

It was a packed show, with great sets and sound effects and I enjoyed the dancing too. I laughed most of the way through. On the down side, I was disappointed that there was no dame character, although Muddles filled the gap well.

Ruth's review

I really enjoyed the show, from the start to the end. They got the audience going which made it more fun to watch.

The best part was when Muddles got people on stage doing the tongue twister "Court of King Caracticus".

My favourite character was Muddles the Jester because he kept making silly faces and noises.

I liked the dwarfs because they all started off like they didn't know Snow White and then they were really caring, and they used real dwarfs not children.  

Watch out if you're near the front because there's a few surprises for the audience. I'd certainly go again.
