The King's School's Year 4 pantomime proved that celebrity culture isn't all its cracked up to be.
'Cinderella and Rockerfella' traces the woes of a rock star who longs to be the Prince Charming he was before he was famous, but only with a sprinkle of fairy dust and the help of his management team, can he return to his carefree existence.
With classic comedy, rapturous songs, dazzling dance routines and a riot of colour, King's young thespians prepared the way for Christmas with a theatrical spectacular.
Ray Liddiard as Rockerfella showed that Elvis had not left the building, Edward Marsden-Smith as Buttons was a superb poetic sidekick and Mia Labrosse was literally enchanting as Cinderella.
As the politically correct 'Back-stage Inspector' decreed, the ugly sisters Libby James as Anastacia and Olivia Saxton as Augustina, weren't on the face of it ugly at all, but they sure were unpleasant on the inside, where it truly counts.
Camilla Kinsey as the Fairy Godmother appealed to all hearts with her beautiful voice and Charlie Ellis as Teaser, Buttons; cuter than cute dog made the audience chuckle with laughter.
Produced, directed, choreographed and adapted by King's Infant & Junior Department's Head of English Soulla Costanda with a plethora of stunning songs arranged by Paul Vowles, this production was a festive Christmas feast.
