The cast and crew of the Wheatsheaf Players pantomime,
'TheMagnificent-ish Little Seven' (aka Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs) have sent out a big thank you to the people of
Coventry for making the show such a success.
The 'Magnificent-ish Little Seven' which was performed at the
Co Operative Theatre on Watersmeet Road in Wyken
delighted and entertained hundreds of people of all ages
throughout its run, with plenty of laughs, singing and audience
participation.
The show which starred Christine Rye as Snow White and
Heather Evans asthe Wicked stepmother, received excellent
reviews from the audiences and is the Wheatsheaf Players
most successful panto ever selling out a staggering six of
the ten shows.
The Theatre's Artistic Director Heather Evans took the
opportunity to present Joe Lawless who penned, directed
and starred in 'The Magnificent-ish Little Seven' with a
memento to thank him for his contribution towards the
continued success of the Theatre and the Wheatsheaf Players.
Coventry's Joe Lawless first put on this show back in 1998
and wanted to re-live the fun it created at the time. So by
bringing it up to date with the current times and trends he
was able to direct this masterpiece with fantastic results.
Heather Evans said: "The magnificent-ish little seven has
been absolutely fantastic! All the cast have loved every
minute rehearsing and performing it. I would like to say
thank you to Joe Lawless, the whole cast and everyone
who came to see us - we're glad you had as much fun as
we did!"
Joe, not wanting to take a break from the world of
pantomime has already put pen to paper and started the
preparations for next year's pantomime. Oh yes he is!
The Pantomime will be coming to the Co Operative Theatre
at the end of January for a week run! The show is promising
to be full of adventure for the whole family!
