The Little Mermaid (Liverpool Everyman)
Pantomime at the Liverpool Everyman has a bit of a cult following and having seen a number over the last few years it's not difficult to see why, the offering this year written by Sarah A Nixon and Mark Chatterton (who also directs) is another comedy/music masterpiece, even the technical sound hitch at the commencement of this particular performance wasn't able to decrease the enjoyment of the audience if anything it allowed some more funny ad-libs.
Leading the cast are two regulars in the form of Adam Keast as Captain Nemo and Francis Tucker as Pearl, these guys have such a finely tuned working relationship that not only can they get themselves out of any artistic predicament but, they can enhance any scene with a last minute response to any audience reaction and that's a skill that you rarely see used in such a slick way.
Whilst I might have used the word 'regular' in the previous paragraph it's starting to be an adjective that can be used to describe many of the cast including Tom Connor as the highly forgetful Flounder, Stephanie Hockley as mermaid Marina, Lucy Thatcher as ‘bad girl’ Ivanna and Danny Burns in a multitude of roles. What this allows is a level of cast cohesion and understanding that completely enhances the performance in every way and since the cast are all multi-talented actor/musicians the total experience is one that unsurprisingly attracts an audience back again and again.
Add a sprinkling of new faces, Jamie Noar, Elizabeth Robin, Imelda Warren-Green and a Musical Director, Greg Last to bring this musical spectacle completely to life and I’d be surprised if there isn’t already a virtual queue for the next Everyman Rock’n’Roll Pantomime. Sadly this production finishes its run on 20th January 2018, however you may be lucky and manage to get your hands on a ticket for one of the final performances.
