SLEEPING BEAUTY

On 29th December 2007 I went to see Sleeping Beauty in Porthcawl at the Grand Pavilion [with some of the United Free Church Cowbridge]!

It was a great performance in the spirit of Christmas panto.   It involved Timmy Mallett [as Timmy Trouble], West End star Beth Humphreys [as Princess Aurora] and Nikki Kelly [as the evil witch Carabosse].

It was very funny, and Timmy was a very naughty boy.   When he was helping King Cook, he squirted water from a huge water pistol and a lady called Kim got absolutely drenched!

Timmy even made creme brulee wrong amd instead of putting it into the Royal Feast, he came out into the crowd and had handfuls of it and was sticking it to everybody's head he passed [especially the bald people]!

All the crowd were going to have a big shock.   Timmy was throwing the eggs and King Crumble was catching them in a bowl.   It was a great big  jump when the egg smashed into the bowl and Timmy had a sneaky grin on his face.   I was like "oh no"!   He came round with the smashed eggs and you're going to guess what was going to happen next.   Some people were very unlucky and had smashed eggs on their head!   But mainly it was very funny with Timmy Trouble in it!

It was great to have Beth Humphreys as one of the cast members, with a beautiful voice she ruled the panto.   Beth wasn't the only person who had a great voice at the panto:  Adam Brackenborough [as Prince Robin] had the leading man's voice.   It was really good;  it wouldn't have been perfect without the dancers, five adults and sixteen children.

All the scenes were fantastic;  with only seventeen they made them super.   My favourite one was when Prince Robin killed evil Carabosse.   Then the Lilac Fairy turned the evil Carabosse into good Carabosse and it ended the same way fairy tales end and they all lived happily ever after - but will they?

Next Christmas for more panto laughing!
