Synopsis
The magical pantomime including Prince Charming, Buttons, the Ugly Sisters and, of course, the Fairy Godmother who turns a pumpkin and mice into a carriage and horses ... but why doesn't the glass slipper disappear at midnight?!
Our Review:
Karen Bussell - 20 December 2011
Cinderella? Who’s she?
The usual main characters fade into the background somewhat as Julian Clary struts his stuff and liberally sprinkles innuendo as a fabulously camp Dandini in Plymouth’s panto at the Theatre Royal.
It really is the Julian Clary show as, resplendent in sumptuous faux fur and velvet, sequins and feathers, he eclipses an otherwise competent cast.
Keith Harris is a superbly clever ventriloquist bringing something for the kids with base humour and whimsy through a delightfully rude Chuckles the Monkey and cutesy Orville, that nappy-wearing green duck. Harris is an able Buttons but there is something a little creepy about his declaration of love for the nubile teen Cinderella (a sweet debut for Hannah Nicholas).
Tony Jackson (his eighth panto with Clary) and Charles Brunton (Squidward in the UK tour of SpongeBob SquarePants: the Sponge Who Could Fly) are psychedelic as the nasty Ugly Sisters; Roy Simpson is a bumbling ...

James - 19 January 2012:
Having traveled from Bournemouth to see the show, I was definitely not disappointed! Can't say I'm much of a Julian Clary fan but he was absolutely brilliant in this! Keith Harris was fab, and Orville adorable - it was just so magical when he flew towards the end of the show, having had upwards of 20 years of build up to the moment that he can fly, it created a simply magic and unique moment in the show - the audience was going wild! And as for the comment above about panto being a children's show - it most certainly is not (and should not) ever be aimed just at children. Panto is a show for the family and jokes that go over the kids heads is all part of the show - you'll find it in any professional panto up and down the country. I've heard worse in many other shows (example, Paul Zerdin saying 'crap' at least three times during a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk in Nottingham a few years back). Cinderella was magical and I can't wait to come back next year ...
