Laois quiz night sets Portlaoise Panto crew up for hilarious show
Tickets on sale in Laois for the much-anticipated show in Portlaoise
Portlaoise Pantomime Group have just held a successful table quiz to support their upcoming big show in January.
The quiz at the end of November in Grellan Delaney’s bar in Portlaoise was held to raise money for this year's production 'Goldilocks and the Three Beours'.
Tickets are now on sale for what the panto crew promise will be a "hilarious and chaotic pantomime", the classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears gets completely turned on its head, thanks to a spelling mistake. Instead of bears, we meet the 3 Beours. Three eccentric ladies named Cat, Wanda and Nada whose misadventures launch a riot of mix-ups, songs, and slapstick.
A scene from a previous Portlaoise panto.
Written by Rory Chadwick, Goldilocks and the Three Beours is directed by Richard Mansworth, with musical direction by Sarah Troy and choreography by Lea Carroll.
