Dame Dolly and the gang can really rock!

And the production team has clearly relished the challenge of creating everything from a pair of vastly over-sized shoes for the giant’s tiny wife to clomp about in to the ridiculous ‘Barbie-queue’ to be given by Dame Dolly to Jack and Jill on their big day.
Simon Nock’s Dame Dolly was undoubtedly the star of the show with superb comic delivery and a rendition of Mercy that had members of the audience at Leeds City Varieties howling.
Hollie Cassar packed a punch as the fiesty Fairy Aubergine, while Robin Johnson was great fun as the giant’s sinister sidekick Fleshcreep.
