Well - that’s two shows down - and a great review already! Still time to get your tickets!

Last night, I revisited the Brewhouse Arts Centre for Burton Amateur Stage Entertainers' performance of Sleeping Beauty. BASE, known for their delightful family pantomimes each February in Burton on Trent, once again warmed the hearts of the Burtonians on a chilly Tuesday evening!

Following last year's "The Wizard Of Oz - The Panto!" production, anticipation was high for BASE's latest offering, and they certainly delivered.

The classic tale of Sleeping Beauty unfolded, complete with the essential panto ingredients – pop songs, glitz, cheese, and a charismatic dame adding twists and turns to the narrative.

The show kicked off with the enchanting "Good Fairy Lilac" (Gemma East) and the brilliantly wicked "Bad Witch Hazel" (Callie Brandrick), setting the stage for an engaging performance. Throughout the show, their portrayal of their characters excelled.

The opening number, "Let’s get crazy!" set a lively tone, with the cast's enthusiasm spreading joy amongst the audience. From the introduction of the villagers to the royal family, including "King Cactus" (Matt O'Donnell) and "Queen Marigold" (Amy Gaunt), the characters were instantly lovable. The King and Queen introduce their beautiful (but a little stinky!) baby to the villagers and the rest of the characters; including the king’s PANTIES- double act “Fetch” and “Carrie” (Sarah Goodall and Sam Uche).

"Muddles" (Peter Bourne) became an audience favorite, embodying the essence of panto with perfect comedic timing. Bourne’s natural stage presence made the audience instantly warm to his character and he soon had us all shouting “Muddles don’t get muddled!” And what is a panto without a fabulous Dame? The dynamic duo of "Nurse Hettie Harpic" (Martin Goodall) and Muddles brought constant smiles and laughter.

Spanning 116 years, the show introduced a colorful array of characters, including the rainbow fairies (Laura Craddock, Lynda Freeman, Sophie Robey and Ken Dawson) who all looked beautiful in their bright colours (I especially loved the dazzling gold jacket!)

We meet an older "Princess Rose" (Lilli-Mai Wardle) and "Prince Alexis" (Thomas Harrison). Lilli-Mai's rendition of "A Million Dreams" was a visually stunning highlight. The two are adorable in their portrayal of young love, and worked very well together.

From dazzling sets to stunning costumes and catchy songs, the show's excellence owes much to its talented cast and crew. Packed with jokes for all ages, audience participation, and even involving the little ones on stage, it truly catered to the entire family.

For its pure feel-good factor, BASE deserves a fabulous 5 stars – oh yes they do.

Important information on parking if you're coming to see Sleeping Beauty.... read the signs in Sainsbury's carefully. Coopers Square is a good alternative car park.
