It was all systems go in the Dunamaise Arts Centre on Saturday as the Portlaoise Panto group began their week-long series of performances after months of preparation.
The timeless classic ‘Cinderella’ is this year’s production and the brilliant local group have pulled out all the stops once again for another show-stopping performance.
For anyone looking to banish the January blues, the family comedy, ‘Cinderella’, packed with singing and dancing, is just the ticket.
There are up-to-the-minute jokes for adults and a liberal sprinkling of magic and slapstick for all ages in this classic rags to riches fairy tale that aims to enchant all ages.
Laoise O’Connell is the leading lady while David Walshe is making his panto debut as Prince Charming, aka Harry Styles.
Their 2pm matinee on Saturday was true to the panto’s proud tradition – colourful, professional and, of course, a barrel of laughs.
