Crewe Lyceum Panto launch

Tuesday 9th October saw the team from Imagine and the cast of Sleeping Beauty at the Lyceum Theatre Crewe out and about bright and early as it was panto launch day!

This year we decided to do something a little different and instead of the usual panto launch in September at the venue, we decided to move 'outside' and to stage it a little later - this year moving to the beautiful Crewe Hall hotel - the perfect place for Sleeping Beauty to launch her panto.

Steve, Sarah and Louise from Imagine were delighted to be joined by 7 of the 8 cast (one of which had only been contracted 2 days before due to Mike Royce having to drop out due to family illness), Karen and Dawn from our wardrobe team, Philippa and Paula from the theatre, Helen our photographer and Mark Edwards our Musical director. With Mark was Adele who is playing Sleeping Beauty in our Kilmarnock panto - so we thought it would be fun to get the Kilmarnock Beauty and the Crewe Beauty together!

We had tons of fun getting the photos outside Crewe Hall (dodging the rain showers!)in the Grand Hall, and the Drawing Room. we also cheekily 'borrowed' their grandest bedroom to get photos of the cast on the lovely four poster bed!

Thanks to all involved in the day - we can't wait for the panto now! And a huge thanks to Crewe Hall for letting a team of mad people in fancy dress take over your beautiful hotel for a couple of hours - makes a change from conferences, I guess! ;O)
