Hello everyone, I’m Michael and I’ll be playing the role of ‘Muddles’ in SMPs “Snow White”

Rehearsals are now in full swing and Monday night saw some of the principles setting the opening scene for the show, whilst the rest of the cast were setting the routine for a very special song.

Once again we are extremely lucky to have such an enormous amount of talent within our production team alone, and that’s without even mentioning the cast! – Under the watchful eye of Wendy Cooper who makes her choreographing debut with this show. Chris O’Shea returning as the ‘Man in charge’ unleashing his directorial skills upon us all again.

Wednesday night had us singing our little hearts out to what can only be described as a “Show stopper” of a song!!

We are very fortune to be under the supervision of the legend that is Mikey B who is returning for his 20983756th consecutive panto with SMP (That figure may not be factual, but its definitely more years than I can count of my fingers and toes together!) – With an added little bonus of being joined by Kate Sanders, whom you recognise as Octavia from last years.. dare I say it.. INCREDIBLE panto ‘The Little Mermaid’ (That show must have had an amazing Director!!)

Its safe to say that everyone involved with this years panto is having a fantastic time during rehearsals, and its only the beginning! – “What’s that?.. You don’t know where to get your tickets from?!!”

Tickets are available right here!!

Mwah ha ha ha ha ha….oh sorry, didn’t see you there, I was just practicing my evil cackle…

Welcome to week two of our infamous panto blog, I’m Jo Mac and I have the absolute pleasure of playing your wicked queen in SMPs spectacular pantomime “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” I’m totally thrilled to be playing such an iconic and meaty role (or roll, as Greedy Dwarf would say) but a wee bit petrified at the same time as it’s a slight (to say the least) departure from previous roles but boy am I looking forward to it…oh yes I am!

Week one of rehearsals were an absolute blast, folks, let me tell you all about them…

Monday was our very first meet as a whole cast and the atmosphere was buzzing! With a chance to FINALLY group hug after our summer break and Director Chris’ threat that we should “be prepared to get wet” we were like a bunch of over excited kids in the school playground.

The production team more than lived up to their promise of a fun filled evening of team building. After being split into teams we competed in several challenges to see which team came out on top. Tasks included “apple bobbing” (don’t worry I didn’t poison them) “pass the poison apple” (oops, I did poison those) “avoid the queens spell and find the safe place” (there seems to be a theme here, I’ll try not to take offence)

Of course my “wicked” team won, not so fair and square, mwah ha ha ha ha (ooh this laugh is coming along rather nicely) but as always, it really wasn’t about the winning and much more about working together to achieve something great and that, it seems, will be VERY easy when lead by this magnificent, enthusiastic and extremely organised production team.

Wednesday was equally seamless and led by our delicious Director Chris, who got straight to work on some scenes with our dashing Dwarfs, super Snow White and most importantly; Moi! (Oh dear, too much?) while our brilliant costume team; Fay, Ellie & Debbie S met to discuss all things glittery and get some of us measured up too.

It was a joyful and productive first week and we head into our second with HUGE smiles on our faces. We’d love to put those smiles on yours too so don’t miss out folks, all the deets of our show and how you can come and enjoy the fun are below.

Thank you for listening, you lovely lot!

Yours,

Queenie Xxxxx

Hell, I’m Chris and I am kicking off the SMP’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs blog.

After a great turn out for our read through we had a very successful bunch of auditions. I couldn’t quite believe the talent I witnessed and could not be more excited to direct a show with such a fabulous group of performers. Not only have I got a brilliant cast, I also have to mention the amazing production team: Wendy our choreographer, Hayley our assistant choreographer and finally Kate and Mike our joint musical directors.

This will be my second panto that I have directed with SMP. I am extremely excited to be back on the other side of the curtain again (even though I love being on stage) but I am determined, with this production team and cast to make this an absolutely tremendous show. It has been 21 years since I first stepped onto the stage at the Intimate Theatre, and coincidentally, 20 years since I first performed with our fabulous choreographer, Wendy (Babes in the Wood, 1998).

Unfortunately, it is very likely that Snow White will be the last show ever performed on this stage. If this is so, then our duty is the make sure that we put on the #GreatestPantoEver. With the brilliant cast, marvellous production team, creative technical team and magnificent writer (Warren McWilliams) then this task will be easier than biting an apple.

Rehearsals commence today! The cast have not been informed of what exactly they will up to tonight – but we have given them a clue – be prepared to get wet.

It’s not too early to book tickets. If you want the best seats, get them now. This may be your last chance to experience the magic at The Intimate Theatre. Let the memories live. #IntimateMemories
