DURBAN’S tradition of adult panto continues to flourish at Suncoast this festive season, with a brand new twist in the tale of a well-loved story.
It is an accepted fact that Cinderella is the world’s most favourite pantomime. There have been several incarnations of the adult version, Sinderella. But don’t panic, there is a new version, filled with clever quips to keep you on the edge of your seat, as well as just a few below the belt jokes.
Harking back to the original format of clever, rather than in your face, your favourite festive season entertainers have come up with a new plot.
Gone is Cinderella and Sinderella, as well as Prince Charming and the Fairy Godmother. Enter Sinder-Fella, Princess Charming and the Fairy Godfather.
The team is back with some new additions – Anthony Stonier (whose legs are a World Heritage site) and Clinton Small (last year’s surfer dude) play the Ugly Sisters, Thomie Holtzhausen (seen in a great variety of roles in past pantos) is the Fairy Godfather, and the gorgeous Katy Moore (last year’s Juliet) as Princess Pandora Hugetit, the sugar baroness of Ballito. Joining them for the first time are Rowin Munsamy as the Princess’ loyal supporter, Button, and Mpilo ‘Straw’ Nzimanade as Sinder-Fella.
The whole story takes place right here in Durbs, keeping local lekker.
The show opens on Tuesday 11 November and runs until Tuesday 30 December.
Tickets cost R150 each. Booking is open and tickets can be purchased through Computicket on 0861 915 8000 or book online at www.computicket.com
