Grand Opera House York Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Pantomime Review: January 2020
It’s that time of year again… ‘oh no it isn’t’ ‘oh yes, it is’…prepare for comic pantomime capers at the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Grand Opera House York.
This year the cast even had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Gabriella who designed the programme cover for the 2019 Panto and I am sure that you will agree Gabriella has done a fabulous job.
Hi oh Hi ho it’s time for panto you know with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Starring Mark Little aka best baddie in Yorkshire, ‘Allo ‘Allo legend Vicki Michelle playing the Evil Queen and man of comedy and magic Martin Daniels, as Muddles. Along, with a man that needs no introduction; York’s town Crier.
A mysterious and magical iPad mirror is where the tale begins voiced by the super sensational Debbie Magee in electronical format, an evil stepmother, a poisonous apple, a beautiful princess, seven cute chaps and well you know the rest.
During the production there was many excitable shouts of ‘Hi ya Muddles’ and ‘He’s behind you’ by both children and parents.
A classic fabulous fairy-tale case of good vs evil and for me the evil vibes provided by both Mark Little and Vicki Michelle was both immersive and excellent entertainment.
Now you have missed the 2019 panto but fear not as the 2020 Christmas Panto is gearing up for more laughs and giggles!
Thank you for reading 😊

You can’t beat a good pantomime at Christmas can you! This looks like loads of fun – especially having nods to the present day. A great way to capture the younger generations.
