‘Think Your Happiest Thoughts’

This year, audiences are being treated to a Cornwall Playhouse production of Peter Pan which is running at the Hall for Cornwall until 31st December 2023. The entire show is a delightful spectacle, full of huge sets, glitzy costumes and plenty of laughs for the whole family.

The atmosphere was lively and is it any wonder as it was clear to see that the audience was in for a real treat! The show incorporates a mixture of modern pop classics to great effect – there’s truly something for everyone, and you’re sure to be singing the songs on your way home.

Ollie McFarlane is charismatic and dynamic as Peter Pan, who gave an impressive performance with the talented Jade Lauren, as Wendy. The pair complimented each other brilliantly, and their flying across the set against the backdrop of a star lit sky with Take That’s – Rule the World playing was truly magnificent.

Sara Markland is a sweet and chirpy Tinkerbell, with great vocal range and friendliness you’d expect from being Peter Pan’s friend. Olivia Warren has the audience thoroughly entertained as Nana, excellent comic timing and her saying Doggy Doggy Doggy! audience replies Woof, Woof, Woof! was a display of local humour and popular with the Children, whilst batting out sweets.

Lucy Park showcases a powerful voice as Mrs Darling, alongside Dan Ball’s excellent Mr Darling, and their performance of Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) was a very popular part of the show!

The show’s ‘Lost Boys’ were cute and just as superior as their adult counterparts.

No panto would be complete without a villain and the Kernow King (Edward Rowe) did a superb job as Captain Hook, giving a powerful performance throughout. The hilarious take on The Twelve Days of Christmas was undoubtedly my favourite part – Be prepared for this and it will leave you in stitches!

I love how the classic story is seamlessly brought up to date with song choice and references to modern culture. The special effects are incredible and made it a professional and clever performance. Panto is escapism for the whole family, and this production delivers this in buckets – along with festive joy, sparkle, and cheer!

Christmas cheer is missing from A Town Called Christmas, and it is Clementines job to find it and bring it back to enable some Christmas spirit. Join her on the search! This play written and directed by Elvi Piper, brought to you by Gala Durham and Wrongsemble is on until just after Christmas and is perfect for little ones aged three and up. The whole show is only 55 minutes long, so just enough for wriggly legs.

On entering the Playhouse, the Christmassy scene is set, a little Christmas tree in front of the glowing fire, and you get to meet Clementine in all her Christmas cheer. She decides to visit Christmas, a town that her late auntie had traditionally told her tales about during every festive season. Where she has heard that chocolate coins are currency, the streets are filled with snowball fights and gingerbread houses glow under beautiful twinkling lights. During her journey she meets many characters, all portrayed by the three actors on stage, they all take on the different roles and do it with great ability. She tries with great effort to find and bring back the cheer that was once in the town, will she do it?…

This short show is full of musical numbers, sung with great harmonies from all three members of the cast. All the actors on stage have strong voices. Puppetry is also used to take us back in time, to when Clementines Aunty was a young girl. There are 2 puppets on stage, operated by the cast and this is done with ease, the children in the audience certainly sat up for these parts.

A really cheery, festive piece of theatre to get you in to the spirit.

On Thursday I had the pleasure of seeing Elf the Musical by Diva Productions. 

The show started very similarly to how a film does, with a screen showing credits naming key contributors to the show, thus creating a melding effect between movie and musical. This both drew me in and intrigued me and was a very unique and effective way of referencing the 2003 film and yet drawing the viewer into the onstage action as well. I loved how the lit Christmas trees bookending the stage, which on entering, I had thought simply to be a feature of the hall, were another tool to draw the audience into the story as Jovie is decorating them when Buddy meets her in the New York Macys store.

In cast terms, the shining star of the show is undoubtedly Michael Markey’s Buddy, who has boundless enthusiasm, a beautiful voice and brings to the show a bouncy demeanour that reminded me of Disney’s Olaf – should he choose to ‘migrate’ in his next role I can see a place for him in Frozen in the West End.

Credit is also to Charlie Scholes as Michael, Buddy’s brother, who evokes sympathy when he is ignored by his stressed and self-centred dad, Walter (Jonny Landels). I also loved the reconnection and childlike joy shared by Michael and his mom, Emily (Helena Hunter) as they witness Santa flying outside their window – another triumph of Lighting Designer Adam Moore and Video Screen  Designer Andrew Ashley.

The screen and lighting was used masterfully throughout the show to indicate different locations, from the warmly red-lit Santa’s workshop, movement and the speeding of time when it showed Buddy’s journey from the icy North Pole to the bustle of New York City. Those skilful production choices came from and clearly highlighted Diva Productions’ co-founder and ‘Elf’ Video and Screen Designer Andy Ashley’s professional background in photography, scenic projection and film. This made the stage, and indeed the show, feel so much bigger, sleeker and better than a regional production, in fact I felt it more absorbing and engrossing than the West End production I saw in December last year. Ready your sleighs and your elves to catch it before it flies back to the North Pole on Sunday 17th December, or you’ll be on the naughty list!

We all know the classic Disney story The Little Mermaid. Ariel, who has the voice of an angel is tricked by the evil sea witch into giving up her voice in exchange for legs, and all to find true love. But there are always two sides to every story, and The Queen of Disney Villains, Ursula, is here to set the record straight. Did Ariel really have such an angelic voice? Was this a father’s bid to ensure a suitable Queen for the Kingdom of Atlantica? Was Ursula really that evil or did a man make her in to the “bitch” she was today?

To understand the ending of this love story, we must go back to the beginning when they were just growing up. Ursula and Triton were not siblings as some publications would lead you to believe. Their love was forbidden, cruelly manipulated by a father who wanted his kingdom to be ruled by a great King. Resulting in a tragic betrayal and banishment to the darkest depths of the ocean, Ursula became the evil octo-woman she has been portrayed for all these years. Will she get her Happily Ever After? You’ll have to come and see to find out!

Shawna Hamic (Orange Is the New Black, Les Misérables) is the perfect “Sea Bitch”. Her attitude, charisma and incredible voice commands the stage, elevating this iconic role to new heights. Her larger-than-life personality is perfect for the stage and this type of role. I would encourage everyone to see her perform on stage.

Everyone in this weird and wacky production deserved that standing ovation, but the standout star of the night goes to Allie Dart (2:22 A Ghost Story) who takes on the roles of Sebastian the Crab and Chef, alongside multiple others throughout. Her ability to switch between characters, accents and costumes is commendable. Her energy and stage presence was infectious, and the audience was completely absorbed in her performance.

Unfortunate: The Musical Parody comes in at a little short of 3 hours long and for such a small venue, this can get a bit uncomfortable at times. It was also difficult to distinguish the words they were singing at times because the music overpowered their voices, which was unfortunate because the songs were excellent. Although, this wasn’t a bad thing when Ariel, played by River Medway (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) was singing because she was “atrocious” (her singing was intentionally bad).

There is so much to say about this production, from amazing costumes, which left little to the imagination to the unique puppetry. An incredible score by Tim Gilvin and Howard Ashman, sees familiar melodies from The Little Mermaid turned on its head with genius lyrics and innuendos. This is a show for those who “didn’t make it to Disney”. Who aren’t “perfect” and will be accepted into a society regardless of who/what they are. Don’t be fooled into thinking this classic tale is for children though, its rude, its camp and it’s not for the faint hearted. Please do not bring your children!

UnFortunately for us, this musical parody is a Wild, Funny and Flamboyant Smash Hit which will have the incredible songs stuck in your head for days. It’s Fabulous Darling!

White Christmas is based on the well known film featuring the songs by Irving Berlin.

The musical tells the story of when two veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song and dance act after the War. Phil tries to set Bob up with Betty who is part of the Haynes Sisters act with Judy. They follow the sisters to Vermont Lodge where they are to perform a Christmas Show. Once they arrive at the lodge they are met with their former commander, General Waverley who is the lodge owner.

Having never seen the film myself I had nothing to compare this musical to, however, this is the all-time favourite film for my friend who wondered how the film could be brought to the stage but commented on how true to the film it was.

In this performance Susan, the commander’s granddaughter was played by Ava Rothewell and I have to say that she was amazing, at just 10 years of age I feel she has a bright future ahead of her.

George Blagden (Bob) and Stuart Neal (Phil) played their parts brilliantly and were a great duo.

The Haynes sisters were played by Grace Mouat as Betty and Natasha Mould as Judy. Their vocals were great especially singing “sisters”. Martha – Sandra Marvin equally gave a brilliant vocal performance.

The show is all brought together by a large ensemble cast whose dance routines were spot on and all in sync. The tap dancing was out of this world.

The actors are all involved in moving the props and do this with ease. The rotating stage gives it an added dimension and I loved the way they converted the stage to the barn.

The final scene was so magical, the Christmas tree coming up in the middle of the stage and the snow falling. It certainly gets you into the Christmas spirit. An excellent performance by everyone involved.

Richmond brings you the well-loved pantomime of Dick Whittington, a show for all and what an opening night it was! With many laughs and much entertainment throughout which had the whole audience, both children and adults laughing away from start to finish. 

Dick Whittington (Jack Danson) embarks on a journey to London, where in no time he finds himself a place to stay, a job, is given a giant cat called Eileen (Charlie Smart) that provides some excellent movement and dance across the stage with ease. Dick also manages to fall in love with the beautiful Alice (Erin Sophie Halliday) and with the help of Suki the Sweet Maker (Suki Webster) and Sarah the cook (Paul Merton) they go on an adventure to save London from the evil Queen Rat (Vivien Parry) who is trying to launch an attack on the City. The gang will need to work together and be ready for the fight!! Will she be able to succeed? Or will Dick win the race as well as winning the heart of Alice and taking her hand in marriage? 

Along with the Spirit of Bow Bells (Wendy Mae Brown) offering guidance along with some beautiful rhyming, much sparkle, and the whooshing of her wand.  

Sarah the cook, who is young, single, and ready to mingle as the audience found out, offers some fabulous tongue twisters, much flamboyance alongside some magnificent outfits that keep getting increasingly extravagant. Keeping everyone incredibly entertained.  

Queen Rat scurried across the stage with the whip of her tail, receiving the enormous panto boos in which were well-deserved. 

All this offers much enjoyment along with the yearly audience participation of ‘oh no it wasn’t and ‘oh yes it was’ get everyone in the Christmas spirit. 

The stage itself was stunning, packed with fabulous scenery around, very vibrant costumes, some great choreography, much talent, and an amazing connection upon stage for all to see. 

At times, I did find that the sound was not right, with the orchestra sometimes out powering some of the lyrics but overall, a fun, enjoyable evening out. Definitely one to watch and very enjoyable evening out

Well we’ll have to do it again then won’t we….

I wish we could. Cinderella did not disappoint. With a fabulous cast and script by Jon Monie (winner of Best Script at the Great British Pantomime Awards 2019) this side splitting pantomime is a must for those who love a lot tongue in cheek sparkling comedy.

With beloved local legend Mark James as Buttons the applause when he stepped on the stage was infectious. The children in the audience were utterly captivated by his charm.

The colourful set dazzled throughout.
It seemed no expense was spared.

Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn starring as the Fairy Godmother bought all of the fun, sparkle and magic expected of a fairy Godmother.

While Bethan Jacks (Cinderella) showed us that no matter what the haters say ~ she would go to the ball.

Talking of haters the ugly Stepsisters were truly incredible, their outfits utterly ridiculous and hilarious. Expect Macdonalds french fries and wigs so high they filled the stage while the heels left me wondering if one false move could mean a broken ankle. I was on tenterhooks watching Jamie Morris (Melody) and Tarot Joseph (Harmony) teeter onto the stage, but by Jove they did it.

Singing and dancing and ridiculous skits made for a memorable night for all the family.

This is a must see.

I saw this on opening night and there were some hilarious mishaps, and the show did run over, but I guess it’s to be expected with live performances ~ anything can happen but laughter is guaranteed.
