I think aladdin will be a good show, Having Seen karen and Gerald work well in Sleeping Beauty i think they will work well as Twankey and Wishee. Last years Kings Panto Cinderella was one of the worst pantos i have ever seen. Lets just hope that aladdin is better --Previous Message-- : : The King's Pantomime itself is an : institution. The rotation of pantomime : derives from the pantomime touring circuit : that used to exist between the Theatre Royal : Newcastle, Kings Edinburgh and Kings Glasgow : - each sharing the costs of mountain a new : production each year, which would start in : Edinburgh and travel to to the other two : venues the following 2 years. : : The King's upholds a strong traditional : element, and sticking to the titles its used : for 4 decades is a major feature of this. : Frankly, even today its much cheaper for the : King's to stage a production which refreshes : a set made 20 years ago - and yet still : draws in the biggest pantomime audience in : Scotland! : : The Glasgow Pavilion on the other hand was : always more willing to pick new and exciting : titles eg. this year it's The New Adventures : of Pinnochio. : : --Previous Message-- : I've never seen a Glasgow panto as its a bit : far for me but don't the audiences get bored : with the same subjects all of the time? : They seem to do Cinderella and aladdin quite : a bit and with roughly the same people and : from what others say the same sets and : scripts. : : --Previous Message-- : Hmm... another Aladdin. I wonder if they'll : get Eric Potts back again as Twankey? I : hope Karen Dunbar takes a role other than : dame. She's hilarious - love her, but she's : definately NOT a dame - comic empress, : fairy, spirit or even genie but not Twankey, : please. : : FFE need to cast a decent Scottish male dame : - have a look around, there's some decent : talent! Iain Gouck is at Motherwell this : year, I think his time has come to take to : the King's stage, he's fab and so funny. : : Would be interesting to see Gregor Fisher as : dame. : : Perhaps Snow White will be put on the back : burner for next year? : : Craig : : : : --Previous Message-- : FFE have said that its a brand new show, new : sets etc..., however I remember reading that : about last year's Cinderella...! Last year's : was not as bad as I had anticipated, altho : it was certainly my least favourite out of : the 6 pantomimes I saw last season. Was : really looking forward to Elaine's return : too. : : --Previous Message-- : Sigh i will also definatley be trying to get : a : refund if not i simply wont go and i will : try to see Cinderella in Wolverhampton. But : i was really looking forward to Snow White : xxx : : : --Previous Message-- : I certainly won't be going to see the show - : at last years 'Cinderella', I was going to : go to the pub for the second act of the : show. It's such a shame. Would have ventured : up to Scotland to see the show if it had : those four names in. : : --Previous Message-- : : Its a real shame that Snow White didnt : happen especially as it would have been : great to have had Elaine C Smith and Andy : gray back together, Last years Cinderella : left a lot to be desired as did Sleeping : Beauty, lets hope that we dont have the : really wooden prince back again that with : Dunbar again would be to much to cope with, : Also wouldnt it have better to have had : Dunbar as the Empress, she is not a : pantomime dame. I think I will be booking : my tickets to see Elaine C Smith at Aberdeen : in Cinderella and will hope that the her and : andy will be back next year. : --Previous Message-- : Its a very different design this year and a : brand new script. This show is going to be : very magical : : --Previous Message-- : NOT AGAIN! : : I wont be going as i have seen Aladdin SO : many times at The Kings - I bet the cave is : the same gold set with the blue plate design : finale...yawn! : : --Previous Message-- : Was really looking forward to SNow White : something New, But think Aladdin will be : great. : : --Previous Message-- : As reported in the Evening Times, FFE : entertainment have announced that they have : changed this year's pantomime from Snow : White to Aladdin. (sigh!) : : Andy Gray apparently pulled out due to other : work commitments, and Elaine C Smith was set : to return, however pulled out because Andy : Gray had. : : So the current main line up is Gerard Kelly : and Karen Dunbar for Aladdin. : : And there was me looking forward to : something different! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
