(Late, because I thought I already posted it)
It was a family occasion this Christmas as Shane Richie was joined by his 2 sons, to take part in their entertaining take on panto favourite Aladdin.
Shane, who took on the lead role, starred alongside Shane Jr and Jake as they played Aladdin’s hilarious brothers Wishee and Washee.
The panto was a huge sensation, and the first of its kind to feature fantastic 3D technology. It boasted an array of outstanding special effects that left kids leaning over in their seats and screaming their heads off. A sea of little hands could be seen grabbing at the air as they tried desperately to grab the magical genie that flew around their heads, while hiding behind their parents when a colony of bats flew at their faces.
In true pantomime style you could see just how much fun the whole cast was having as they performed. Shane was electric, interacting with the crowd, flaunting his cheeky charm, and the relationship he has with his boys is just magical. Hannah Grover played the part of Jasmine beautifully, Christopher Chilton was a fantastic Widow Twanky, and Chook Sibtain fitted in perfectly as the bad guy. But Peter Piper was undeniably the true star of the show, with his pant-wettingly funny impressions. He had the audience in stitches when he dressed up as a gorilla with himself trapped in the cage while impersonating David Attenborough, one of those things that you might have to have witnessed for yourself to understand the sheer brilliance.
The audience were also treated to the Gambat Troupe, a Mongolian Circus act that featured in between scenes, and who were stunning to watch as they performed aerial acrobatics and tests of great strength.
Popular songs were featured in the panto, ranging from High School Musical (one for the kids!) to the YMCA, which got the whole audience on their feet as the night came to a close. It was a really fantastic night, for the adults as well as the kids; it really brightened up a cold winter night.
