A few of my favourites from the fantastic Snow White Panto at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking. With Gareth Gates as the handsome Prince, Claire Sweeney as the Wicked Queen, Cliff Parisi, best-known as Minty from Eastenders as the Henchman, Aimie Atkinson as Snow White and Noel Brodie as the Comic Muddles.

The Seven Dwarfs were great, led by Craig Garner as Prof. Maxwell Laird as Grumbly and the Cheeky one (whose name I have forgotten!) deserve a special mention.

Theatre Production Photography | Beauty & the Beast

Ian — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:28:34 +0000

The Biz Theatre School always put on a fantastic performance and this year was no exception. To put on such a professional show in just two weeks of the children’s summer holidays is amazing. Here’s a few of my favourites from their show Beauty and the Beast at Leatherhead Theatre.

They also had a live orchestra, love the lighting and contrast in this one.

Just back from a press photocall for Lauretta Summerscales, who is in Giselle, coming to The New Victoria Theatre in Woking next week. We got some lovely portraits in her dressing room (cool lights and mirrors!) and then a few outside.

Cinderella Panto Production Photos

Ian — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:55:59 +0000

The full house was in fine form for the opening night of Cinderella at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking (oh yes they were!). It’s a fantastic show, very sparkly and glittery with all the usual boos, hisses and laughs. Cinderella is being played by the lovely Joanna Page, the Baron is Michael Aspel, Jon Lee as the prince and Tucker as Buttons. There’s even an appearance from real live ponies and Angelina Ballerina (of course, this was my favourite bit!).

Thanks for signing my photo Joanna, what a great Christmas present

Cinderella Panto

Ian — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:37:09 +0000

It was brilliant to meet some of the cast of this year’s panto, Cinderella, at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking for some preview press photos. Cinderella is being played by the lovely Joanna Page (Stacey in Gavin & Stacey for the very few of you who may not know!). Michael Aspel is playing Buttons, Jon Lee (S Club 7) is Prince Charming and Tucker is Buttons.

Looking forward to photographing the performance in December.

Aladdin Panto Photos

Stars this year are Bradley Walsh (Danny Baldwin, for all you Coronation Street fans!), Eric Potts (Diggory in Corrie), Eloise Irving & Neil Toon as Aladdin.

Aladdin is on until Sunday 11th January 2009. Click here to book your tickets.
