Swindon Advertiser
"From jokes that made you groan and glitzy costumes to love's first kiss and the traditional sing-a-long there was not one unhappy face throughout the two and a half hour show. Lorraine Chase was dazzling as Carabosse, and that wasn't just because of all her sparkling costumes.
Every person on the stage played their role to perfection, whether they were a principal character or in the chorus. Every year the Wyvern promises the panto will be bigger and better and every year they deliver."

Newbury Weekly News
"Sleeping Beauty is produced by Daryl Back who has created some record-breaking pantomimes at the Wyvern in recent years. Undoubtedly, this is the best offering of the decade."

Oxford Times
"Undoubtedly, this is the best offering of the decade. All the principals and ensemble can take credit for their contribution to the show, which is packed with comedy capers, stunning sets and costumes, well-choregraphed dance routines and some welcome surprises like enchanting snow."

Western Daily Press
"Director Michael Fentiman's pantomime hits all the high notes, and delivers everything a panto should be: fun, glamour, glitz, laughter and some big set-piece numbers. Melanie Masson as a Scottish Fairy Fortune filled the auditorium with her powerful Barbra Streisand-esque voice creating some show-stopping moments in this musically-rich production old-school-style dame Nanny Fanny played with absolute clarity by Alan McMahon."

Swindon Link
"The performance contained everything you want: dancing, singing, over-the-top glamour, terrible jokes and audience participation all wrapped up in a traditional fairy tale. The star of the show was actor Lorraine Chase. Wow, what an evil fairy - stunning looks, stunning costumes, all the right phrases, all the right pauses. The prize for the strongest voice went to Fairy Fortune (Melanie Masson)."
