Claire Greenway is the most fabulous fairy in panto land - in fact so fabulous she was our fairy in Sleeping Beauty last year and has returned to the Gatehouse to play the funky Fairy Funlove in Cinderella! Stafford Gathouse Theatre: What's your favourite thing about Rock 'n' Roll Panto Claire?
Claire Greenway: It's the combination of everything I love - funny scripts, amazing music and the most talented people I have ever met.
SGT: Tell us just a few of the instruments you are playing this year:
CG: Alto and tenor saxaphone and piano
SGT: What are you most enjoying this year?
CG: I love singing Try A Little Tenderness, but my highlight will always be Gregory Clarke in a dress (Gregory plays the ugly sister Verruca)
SGT: Do you have any pre-show rituals?
CG: Check my wings are on straight!
SGT: In this show you are Cinderella's fairy godmother, but if you had a fairy godmother of your own who could grant you one wish, what would it be?
CG: To steal all my cast mate's talents so I could rule the world!
SGT: And finally, why do you think panto has remained such an iconic tradition?
CG: It's pure joy - silliness, romance, innuendo, and our music makes it perfect!
