Snow White Rehearsals are all Go! 2023’s Magical Family Pantomime!
Rehearsals are underway for this year’s enchanting family pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre.
Proudly presented by UK Productions, the traditional pantomime will be the 13th to be hosted at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre since opening in 2010. The cast including soap star James Bye (Prince), BBC 3 Counties Breakfast Show presenter Andy Collins (Muddles), Leon Craig (Dame Dilly Donut), Rhiannon Chesterman (Snow White) and Lyndsey Gardiner (Queen Grimelda) are blocking scenes, rehearsing dance routines, learning songs and having final costume adjustments ahead of opening night, this Friday 1 December.
The props department is also in full swing spray-painting accessories with glitter and preparing essential items ready for the annual, highly anticipated Twelve Days of Christmas routine that panto lovers have come to know and love in Bucks.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the Waterside’s 13h traditional family pantomime and tickets are selling quickly for the annual production that has fast become a staple in the Christmas diary for families across Bucks and beyond. James Bye will be making his panto debut at the venue performing the role of Prince, and has been enjoying the rehearsal process: ‘I have been blown away by the rest of the cast – they have phenomenal voices, not to mention killer dance moves, even Andy Collins has taken the bar to a whole new level this year. Audiences are in for a treat, the production is looking and sounding incredible!’
Director Chris Nelson is equally pleased with the progress made during the first week of rehearsals as the company head into tech week: ‘The show is in really good shape. The scenes are coming together and the energy in the room is electric. I’m really happy with the show. We have a team here that are totally committed to giving audiences the best experience over the festive period, pantomime is a special thing, and we all feel very privileged to be part of it’.
With seven dwarfs bringing fun and mischief into the equation, a mesmerising ensemble, and this year’s local youth dancers being provided by Allstars Academy and Castielli School of Dance, this is a retelling of a classic fairy tale you will not want to miss this Christmas!
