Cinderella
The Rock 'n' Roll Panto
Review at City Varieties, Leeds
If you fancy a Pantomime with a twist then Cinderella the
Rock ‘n’ Roll Panto is for you.
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Panto is in Town this Christmas until
Sunday 13th January at the stunning City Varieties Theatre.
I was expecting to turn up and watch a traditional Pantomime
with my son Jake 10, so I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to be seeing the
Cinderella story but with a modern and fun twist.
Just try and imagine a pantomime mixed with a Motown
concert, hard I know but this is the wonderfully unexpected treat the Rock ‘n’
Roll panto offers.
The music is a huge part of the show and really gets the
whole audience rocking in the aisles - regardless of age.
Cinderella played by the very talented Katie Elin-Salt plays
a funky, cool 21st century Cinderella and Baron Hard-up played by
Christopher Fry was hilarious throwing pun after pun at the audience.
Everyone on stage could not only act and sing but also
played various musical instruments and very well I might add.
It was amazing to watch such talent and the audience young
and old were all joining in with the songs.
Whilst this was very much a Panto for the kids, there were
enough innuendos and jokes in the script to keep the adults highly amused as
well. I haven’t laughed or sung along so much in years.
It was a real treat for me to see my son having such a great
time and laughing at jokes that to my horror I didn’t think he would understand
and yet having such an entertaining evening myself, this is something that you
very rarely find and the cast nailed this perfectly.
Defiantly in my opinion a must see for all the family and I
cannot wait to see Next year’s performance.
