And panto magic is set to continue this week with two shows today, Wednesday January 11, as well as three other instances on Friday and Saturday to come with a few tickets left for the final show.

The young talent wowed the audiences at the weekend, including during a relaxed performance tailored for inclusivity, with school principal Amber Clark marking an “outstanding opening day”.

The effort put in during rehearsals has been paying dividends for what is Forefront's first production in two years.

Amber previously told the Advertiser: “We have performed to over 1,500 people during our opening weekend, starting with our first ever relaxed performance which was very well received.

“Being the first pantomime in two years the children were slightly nervous as we opened, but it’s been fantastic seeing them grow in confidence show after show

“A lot of our cast members this year are performing principle roles for the first time and they’ve been amazing.

“Our senior dancers have really stepped up to the challenge and are working extremely hard, which is helping to inspire our younger cast members – and then there are the crowd's favourite, our hilarious and loveable seven!”

There is still a chance to catch the show this Saturday with a few tickets left for the evening performance at the time of writing.

Amber added: “The reviews have been flooding in since the opening show and I really appreciate this feedback, as do the cast.

“It really does energise them and support their growth and confidence.

“Thanks to all who’ve supported the annual Forefront pantomime this year and if you don’t yet have a ticket please be quick as there aren’t many left.”
