After their outstanding success with The Full Monty, the Frome Amateur Operatic Society turn their attentions to more traditional fare now with their always eagerly awaited annual pantomime, which this year is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Auditions were held recently and an exciting cast of new and not so new faces was chosen. In particular the cast will feature six young dancers from Debbie Haines Danceworks and seven young boys playing the dwarfs.

Snow White: Nicole Wooldridge; Queen Avarice: Joanne Plenty; Edna Bucket: Humphrey Barnes; Chuckles: Davey Evans; Prince Ferdinand: Sophie Rozycka; Fairy Good Fortune: Lou Knight; Justice Quill: Simon Joyce; Scribbles: Tom Carpenter; Merlin: Ross Toten; Slurp: Andy Tawse; Brainy: Oliver Child; Smiley: Finlay Collinson; Blushful: Christian Wye; Snoozey: Jacob Howell; Sniffle: Oliver Wareham; Grumbly: Jake Kneller; Dozey: Tom McAllum.

All the usual ingredients of traditional pantomime will be present with a slapstick scene, audience participation, song sheet, a man dressed as a woman and a girl dressed as a boy, plus a fantastic list of musical numbers that includes songs by Michael Jackson, The Blues Brothers, High School Musical and Queen.
