Fareham Live gets magical visit for first panto launch

By Connor Steel

FAREHAM LIVE has received the glamourous visit of Cinderella as this new local entertainment and community venue publicly launched their ‘first ever’ pantomime season; which will bring a very loved fairy-tale story to life through a huge festive period in December / January and further show off the talents of well-known performers in a family friendly way.

Cinderella is on course to become a huge attraction of a busy calendar for Fareham Live; which finally opened back on September 28 after years of development and was recently the site of a launch event for the pantomime. This featured a photoshoot of theatre performer Rhiannon Bacchus; who posed with the carriage / pumpkin to celebrate her key role.

Impressionist Paul Burling (Britain’s Got Talent) will play as Buttons; whilst Gareth Mitchell and Garnon Davis are set to feature as the Wicked Stepsisters. Eleanor Wainwright is due to feature as the lovely Fairy Godmother with AJ & Curtis Pritchard furthermore completing the cast playing Prince Charming and Dandini respectively in their anticipated line-up.

Thousands of tickets have been sold for the performances running from December 13-January 5; which will all give the magical panto elements of mayhem, audience involvement, effects, costumes, and a happy ever after! There will be no performance on Christmas Day or New Years Day, whilst a signed show has been scheduled for 1pm on December 28.

Tickets are available to purchase online from Trafalgar Tickets; the prices running from £10 to £32 depending on timing and seats. Readers can also examine a ‘full variety’ of shows being offered from Fareham Live by clicking this web link.
