Find reviews below.
The Stage – Paul Vale – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The romance between Alice Hoult’s winsome Ella and Jack Speck’s Prince is earnest, playful and drives the narrative. There is also a surprising, tentative tenderness between Aaron Bladen’s Dandini and Luke Ward – Wilkinson achingly earnest Buttons. It’s beautifully written and played, weaving another layer into the fabric of the tale and rendering it even more engaging.
South Essex News – Louise Howeson – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Aaron Bladen brought the swag as mischievous Dandini and had the crowd eating out of his hand as he sang, danced and entertained.
South End Theatre Scene – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Alice Hoult as Cinderella, Jack Speck as the Prince and Aaron Bladen as Dandini are all perfectly cast. Their vocals are all super impressive and every scene will have you wide eyed with wonder at the awesomeness of this production which has been expertly directed by Simon Fielding. Fielding’s experience in panto is paramount; he clearly understands exactly what is required to make a good pantomime work, and then goes on to make it even better.
Little Miss Eden Rose – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cinderella was such a sweet character with a lovely voice and her chemistry with Buttons and Prince Charming was believable. Buttons was adorable and I loved his cheeky character, the audience loved him too with everybody happily joining in with his ‘Buttons’ dance moves. A special shout out to Aaron Bladen who played Dandini, he was such a fun character and really added to the show.
