Sleeping Beauty written and directed by Janice Dunn
Produced by imagine Theatre
At DeMontfort Hall 11 December to 3 January 2022
“Boo and hiss the bad fairy at DeMontfort Hall’s traditional pantomime”
Once again traditional pantomime is back in Leicester after being cancelled last year. And once again we can thank Imagine Theatre for their Sleeping Beauty.
This well known staple of the pantomime circuit stars Coronation Street’s Wendi Peters (wicked fairy Carabosse), CBB’s Maddie Moate (good Fairy Phoenix) and X Factor finalist Andy Abraham (King Alfie). Returning once again are real life couple Matthew Pomeroy and Natasha Lamb. Magician Matthew has progressed from being just a speciality act to a fully fledged juvenile lead while his fiancĂ©e Natasha (they got engaged on stage during pantomime at DeMontfort Hall) has also blossomed into a leading juvenile actress, both of whom known as The Conjurors.
Ben Millerman as Nanny Nancy is a credible double act with Jarred Christmas as her nephew Jarred the Jester.
A largely young audience entered into the spirit with loud boos and hisses while joining in enthusiastically with the well known songs.
Some of the sound and pyrotechnic effects were a bit much for the very young.
Sleeping Beauty is at DeMontfort Hall until 3rd January 2022
