Panto Programme
We have just taken part in this year’s pantomime staged by the Careline Theatre Group entitled “Beauty and the Beast”. Celia and I were members of the chorus – singing, dancing and being part of ‘crowd scenes’. Celia also took part in several tap dancing numbers, fulfilling the dream she had when she started taking lessons just over a year ago, and the Charleston, in which she looked very fetching in her ‘flapper’ costume. We also took part in an extremely well-choreographed version of “Dance the Night Away”.
There were 7 performances at the Alcalali Theatre between the 13th – 17th January. Saturday and Sunday were particularly gruelling, with matinees at 3pm, as well as the evening performances at 8pm.
The show was very professional, with wonderful costumes, great music and dances and special effects. The audience reaction was incredible and the feedback from many of the regulars was that it was the best panto that Careline has staged to date. The reviews of the panto in the local newspapers were also, without exception, very enthusiastic and flattering. Read more below:
