Goldilocks And The Three Bears Review

From the moment the dazzling clown, Joey Wizzbang (Rosemarie Nelson) invited us to the circus, we knew we were in for an evening of fun from the Blackmore Players. 

We were delighted by the circus performers in their sparkling and colourful costumes and then came the entrance we had all been holding our breaths for, of the circus owner Sadie Spangle (Paul Durham).

Pretty and trim Goldilocks (Sandra Trott) and Ronnie Ringmaster (Jane Amos) with those eyecatching fishnet-clad legs, provided the love interest and Goldilocks's visit to the three bears' home was eagerly anticipated by the knowing audience. Barry Young made a suitably villainous Bloodthirsty Black, the owner of the rival circus, and we all worried for the bears when they were drugged and locked away.

Help was at hand from the lovely Belinda (Lynn Bellinger) and Lady of the Lake, Rachel Young, who splendidly choreographed the show. The fun was enhanced by some wonderful scenes.

Our thanks to Paul and Susan Richardson, who directed and produced and provided the excellent music and sound effects, and to Shirley Parrott at the piano. Our thanks too to all the supporting crew and to everyone in the cast for an evening of sheer fun. 

Incidentally, we were so pleased see that circus folk enjoy reading the Brentwood Gazette.
