Dress up the kids young and old, order the popcorn, flex your vocal chords and book your seats early for another action pack, fun filled roller coaster ride down in panto land with the longest running pantomime in the county yes, its Kells musical and dramatic society’s 48th Enchanting panto ‘Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs’. Written and Directed by John Grant.
This magical show will contain two original songs written by John Grant ‘Lonely tonight’ and ‘Think yourself happy’ Snow White’s story is a classic tale of good triumphing over evil. It’s a story that has everything – a talking mirror, a wicked stepmother, and a bunch of dwarfs with names that perfectly describe their personalities. Snow White, the beloved fairytale character with skin as white as snow and lips as red as a rose, has been charming hearts for generations. Snow White, Ciara O Neill, is a princess who lives in a castle with her evil and jealous stepmother the queen Blackheart, Barbara O Neill, who is a witch. But Snow White falls in love with a Prince from the neighbouring Kingdom, Seamus Ennis and they plan their future together.
Meanwhile, queen Blackheart uses an enchanted mirror Isabelle Costello to tell her who is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. When the mirror answers ‘Snow White’ queen Blackheart has her taken into the forest to be killed. The huntsman, Kellyanne Costello is charged with the task but, takes pity on the girl, and sets Snow free.
