REVIEW: Cinderella Christmas Panto at the Wyvern Theatre 2024

The 2024 Christmas pantomime at the Wyvern Theatre, Cinderella, is an absolute must-see! From start to finish, it’s a dazzling spectacle of laughter, music, and magic, with standout performances that truly bring the festive fun to life.

The star of the show is undoubtedly David Ashley, who plays Molly Miggins. His comic timing, quick wit, and physical comedy had the audience in stitches from the very first scene. He was an absolute riot, completely owning the stage and delivering some of the funniest moments of the night. It’s clear that David Ashley has a natural flair for panto, and his performance was a masterclass in engaging the audience and bringing out all the best elements of panto tradition.

Equally impressive was Buttons, played by Ben Goffe, whose chemistry with Cinderella, the other cast members, and the crowd made for a truly engaging and lively show. Together, they created an unforgettable and hilarious atmosphere that really stole the show.

One of the highlights was the incredible Lisa George, the Fairy Godmother, whose voice was absolutely stunning. She brought a powerful and emotive quality to her songs, seamlessly transitioning between the comedy and more heartfelt moments. Her singing was one of the most delightful surprises of the panto and added an extra layer of magic to the performance.

Visually, the show was a feast for the eyes, filled with brilliant special effects that kept the audience gasping in awe. From the magical transformation of the pumpkin to the stunning lighting and vibrant costumes, the production values were top-notch. These effects were a perfect match for the high-energy performances, creating a truly immersive experience.

Overall, Cinderella at the Wyvern Theatre is a festive treat for all ages. With laugh-out-loud moments, spectacular visuals, a fantastic cast, and a performance that sparkles with heart, it’s a pantomime you’ll be talking about long after the final curtain. Highly recommended!
