00:00Sleeping Beauty is coming to the Oak Theatre at Scarisbrook Hall this festive season.
00:05The first time I ever saw Panda Mime I was three years old and my great uncle was playing the
00:14dame
00:14and the thing that stood out, the bug that bit me so to speak, was looking around the room
00:21and seeing how much fun everybody in the audience was having.
00:25Britain's Got Talent star and street dance performer George Sampson
00:28will play the prince in the production.
00:30He'll be joined by panto favourites David Foster, Mary Shanker, Suzanne Fulton and Danny Childs.
00:36She's a very, very bold, very brassy, very intelligent.
00:43She's got a PhD in washing the dishes and a very kind of, she's everything I think that a lady
00:54would want to see
00:56in the women that their husbands are eyeing up.
01:00The story follows Princess Aurora who falls under a wicked curse.
01:04Only true love's kiss can break the spell, leaving the prince with the task of arriving in time to save
01:11the day.
01:11So my character is Fairy Starlight and Fairy Starlight is super excited to be in Pantoland.
01:19Quite goofy, quite kind of ditzy and full of life, loving life and yeah, just all good vibes.
01:30Audiences can expect a traditional pantomime experience with elaborate sets and costumes, special effects and a sing-along soundtrack.
01:38Well, I am hoping to win, of course.
01:42That Aurora thinks she can steal my crown.
01:46Well, let me tell you, she's got another thing coming, hasn't she?
01:50Yes, she has.
01:52The Oak Theatre is a 390-seat state-of-the-art venue in the grounds of Scarisbrick Hall School.
01:59The theatre is hosting a special performance just for grown-ups, which includes rude jokes and adult humour, while keeping
02:06in the spirit of traditional panto.
02:08There'll also be additional performances for schools alongside shows aimed at families and audiences of all ages.
02:14Speaking of in the air, I've heard that there's a dragon that flies around.
02:19I've not seen it myself, but lots of people said that this is a fire-breathing dragon.
02:24So I think we need to be aware.
02:26I cannot confirm or deny about my pretty.
02:35Let's just say, watch your backs, everyone.
02:39The production runs right throughout December, right up until New Year's Eve with a special performance.
02:45I mean, it's the central character every single time.
02:48And no matter what anybody says, I don't care if it's Aladdin or if it's Sleeping Beauty, I am the
02:54main character.
02:56It all revolves around me, despite what they might think.
