UK Panto Awards Nomination for Best Costume Design
Janet Bird’s design dangles the young princess’s name over the stage in a plait. Giant combs stand at the wings, and the cast first enter with their hair up in towels and foils. The Guardian
Bird's cartoonish costumes also give the production the air of a comic book brought anarchically to life. The Stage
The action unfolds on a gorgeous set designed by Janet Bird. Bird’s set effectively uses not only the staging, but the entire room, which sees Rapunzel descend from the ceiling in one of many magical moments in the show. Meanwhile, furniture including chairs and hair salon mirrors are used to show various locations, enabling quick scene changes that move the story along well from scene to scene.* * * * * WhatsOnStage
