Flutterby™! : Holiday Panto

Went to Marin Shakespeare's "Cinderella" Panto last night. It fell fairly flat, which is a shame because I think they had two actors, Nikolai Lokteff as Dandini and John Ficarra as Buttons, who could have carried the production had the script been more refined and the direction been a little tighter. There were a few good lines ("faster than Eminem through the Castro"), but a lot of the laughter was forced. The author was Nigel Ellacot of It's Behind You, with a few Marin county specific references thrown in for giggles.
