Cinderella is going great guns in Swansea. Here are some screen captures from the video promo for the panto, made available on Christmas Eve. Please click on the captures to view the video clip at The Grand Theatre website.

It was smiles all round when Swansea Grand's panto stars made a special visit to the children's ward at Singleton Hospital.

Nobody wants to be in hospital, especially over Christmas, but the cast of this year's panto — Cinderella — took time out from their schedule to bring a bit of festive cheer to the unwell youngsters at the ward.

Stars including actress Su Pollard, Chris Jarvis from CBeebies, Sarah Thomas from Last of the Summer Wine, and Nia Jermin, who is playing Cinderella, all went along to see the unlucky kids.

And how could we forget the ugly sisters, played by Swansea favourite Kevin Johns and playwright Frank Vickery. Kevin, who was dressed in his ugly sister costume to raise a few laughs, said meeting the youngsters was fantastic.

"Everyone absolutely loved it. It is something we do every year," he said. "It was very special. It is one of my favourite days of the year."

He said he hoped they had managed to raise some spirits.

"We go to bring a little bit of Christmas cheer for them and their parents," he said. "Some of them are hoping to be out for Christmas. I met this one little boy from Plasmawr, which is where I was brought up, and he was hoping he would be out for Christmas Day.

"The cast were quite touched by it. Life is not so bad when you see the children stuck there in hospital. We also support the Welsh Blood Service, because some of the children are dependant on blood transfusions."

Ward manager Jan Williams said: "The children had a ball. The cast took their time with them and went around every single child. It was really nice.

"Every member of the cast came — they were superb. They did put a smile on all their faces. The children were thrilled to bits.

"Su Pollard has done it a few times here and she has been so much fun every time. She took a huge amount of time with them.

"The children loved the outfits. The babies were just staring at them, especially the jewels on Su's costume. We even had children that had just been into theatre who met the panto stars."

She said staff were hoping most of the children would make it home for Christmas, but sadly others would not. We had a full ward," she said.

"We have got a handful of children that will end up staying in over Christmas, but they will have a fun time. Santa comes in to visit them on Christmas Day."

The Welsh Blood Service is reminding people not to forget to donate blood this Christmas, as traditionally blood stocks can drop at this time of year.

Trudi Evans, recruitment manager at the Welsh Blood Service, said: "Please give that extra special gift this Christmas and new year — be a life-saver and become a regular blood donor. Can you think of a better gift to give your community, or one that can make such a difference to people who receive it?"

For information about the Welsh Blood Service 

Su explains: “I’ve just recorded the sound for a new feely picture version of a Mog the Cat story for blind children to borrow from Living Paintings’ free library of popular books. Mog is very forgetful and gets into lots of scrapes!

Blind youngsters look forward to new books at Christmas just as much as their sighted pals. So letting them know that this free picture book library is there for them is vital. Living Paintings is an award winning charity that has Braille and text copies of all the children’s favourites from Winnie the Pooh to the Gruffalo – and there are educational packs as well. Best of all everything is designed to be shared with sighted friends and family!

Every year they add new special touch and sound versions of favourite titles to the library. I’d really like to do another one so I hope they raise lots of money this Christmas to pay for more books.”

The final version of the book should be available at the end of December.

We hope you have enjoyed all our updates during the year. We will be back in the New Year. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all!

This one cannot possibly go wrong, and is lovely stuff by any standards.

The big draw, of course, is Su Pollard, whose portrayal of nasty old Baroness Hardup plays against type and gets the crowd worked up in the best possible way.

To describe her performance as fabulously larger than life is an understatement. Take it from me - this woman is a gem, if not a national treasure. What you see is what you get.

And what you get here is worth every penny.Chris Jarvis (of CBeebies fame), stars as Buttons as well as being the director of the show: his performance is a revelation, and it is clear that he has worked hard to capture the "local" flavour so beloved by Swansea audiences, working closely with Grand favourites Kevin Johns and Frank Vickery (both of whom excel as ugly sisters Britney and Paris) and Nia Jermin, who scores a major hit in the title role.

It is so good to see a visiting performer making such an effort to fit in with the local scene, and I strongly suspect that Jarvis will prove to be enormously popular not only with the ticket-buying public but also with the staff of the theatre - always a good sign.

Sarah Thomas shines as the Fairy Godmother - mainstream TV viewers will know her as Glenda from Last of the Summer Wine, which is no bad thing but here she is given every opportunity to stretch her comedic wings.

Excellent performances, too, from Craig Tyler (Prince Charming) and Gavin Lee Rees (Dandini). Musical direction is safe in the hands of the ever-reliable Griff Harries, with the younger performers being members of the Grand Theatre School of Dance and Drama.

By any standards, this has to rate as one of the finest and most focused pantos to have been staged at the Grand for a while.

Even before the run began, there was as an unmistakably positive buzz surrounding the show - no bad thing, and a sure sign of quality.

Oh, and another thing - any show which can incorporate references to Bob the Builder, Gavin and Stacey and Mamma Mia alongside a knowing wink to the late great Northern music hall comic Sandy Powell ("Can you 'ear me, Mother?") has got to be worth a look.

There is much to enjoy here for pop culture buffs.

If you are seeking an escape from the spiralling madness of the pre-Christmas rush, I would heartily recommend that you give this a go.

If this doesn't chill you out and cheer you up, nothing will.

Cinderella's run at the Grand ends on January 18. Spread the word - this is well worth a look.

By Graham Williams

We’re regulars at Swansea Grand Theatre and their festive productions seem to get better every year.

As well as being packed with the usual fare, such as great characters, fabulous costumes, cliched one-liners and local references, this year’s offering has some very special stars – some real ponies, which really enthralled the little ones.

Taking centre stage is Su Pollard, of Hi-de-Hi! fame, as Baroness Hardup; Chris Jarvis, from CBeebies as Buttons, Sarah Thomas from Last of the Summer Wine as the Fairy Godmother and local stars Kevin Johns and Frank Vickery as the Ugly Sisters. And in the title role is Swansea girl Nia Jermin.

The outfits worn by Baroness Hardup and the Ugly Sisters are as outrageous and hilarious as their performances.

But, for me, the star of the show is Jarvis. With his great comic timing and vast array of impersonations, he delights both young and old. I found myself laughing out loud even at his obvious ad lib comments as well as his well delivered scripted jokes.

Jermin is an excellent Cinders – she gives a lovely vocal performance and brings bags of sparkle to the show.

The music arrangement and choreography is especially good this year and includes up-to-the-minute High School Musical numbers as well as some Abba classics, which had everyone singing along.

The cast do a great job at encouraging audience participation.

A special mention has to be given to the Grand Theatre’s School of Dance and Drama. The young students danced and sang with real professionalism and they will no doubt be taking on the leading roles themselves in years to come.

Cinderella runs until January 18. The box office number is 01792 475715

Fondly remembered by millions as the scatter-brained chalet-maid, Peggy Ollerenshaw in the hit sit-com, Hi-de-Hi, Su continues to enjoy a successful and varied career. She is currently starring in the final leg of a national tour of the smash-hit comedy-musical Shout! 

Su Pollard will headline the cast as the wicked Baroness Hardup in Cinderella at Swansea Grand Theatre. Joining her on stage for the festive frolics and fun are Sarah Thomas (Last Of The Summer Wine) as The Fairy Godmother, Chris Jarvis (CBeebies) as Buttons, Kevin Johns and Frank Vickery as The Ugly Sisters and Swansea’s own Nia Jermin as Cinderella. 

“I love panto and I’m already gearing myself up for it!” enthused Su Pollard. “I absolutely love going out on stage and feeling and tasting the atmosphere, excitement and anticipation. As soon as the overture starts and the lights go down it’s the most marvellous thing,” she explained. 

Su continued: “When I’m waiting in the wings I can hear the people cheering, especially the children and I think to myself: ‘Great! I’m going to go out on stage and give you the time of your lives.’ The spine-tingling wonderfulness of it all has never left me and I hope it never does.” 

Cinderella opens at Swansea Grand Theatre on Wednesday 17th December 2008 and runs until Sunday 18th January 2009. Tickets are available from 01792 475715 and www.swanseagrand.co.uk

Monday: Up bright and early because I know I've got lots of packing to do before my move to Swansea to perform in Cinderella for eight weeks. I spend about three hours doing my Christmas cards, because I know once rehearsals start, I won't have time to do anything. I get my hair done, have some lunch and then catch up with a friend. In the evening I go to the theatre to see West Side Story, which is superb. 

Tuesday: I brave Oxford Street to do some Christmas shopping and end up in Selfridges, and cross lots off my list. My lovely driver Sam then drove me and my ton of luggage to Swansea. I arrive there starving because I won't eat at service stations as I think they're awful. Have a nice drink to settle down at the Dragon Hotel that I'm staying at. This is about my fifth time in Swansea; the people are lovely and everything is so close together. It's marvellous. 

Wednesday: I do some preparation for rehearsals which start tomorrow, marking the script up. I'm playing the Baroness. They usually have a Baron but they're changing it for me. This Baroness has had seven rich husbands and bumped them all off by poisoning them. She's grooming her two daughters, the ugly sisters, for marriage, of course hoping one of them will marry the prince, which she can then get friendly with herself. I have a couple of glasses of wine to help me get my head round it. 

Thursday: We all arrive and meet each other for the first time. We start right from scratch and what we call "block" the show, which is when you're given where you have to stand and exit on the set. I find a lovely café called Soup Café and have a wonderful bowl of chunky vegetable soup. I can tell I'm going to be here every day for the next eight weeks. In town people stop me in the street and in their fantastic strong accents ask me how I am. I've got invitations to people's houses from half of Swansea and this is all in one afternoon. I go back to rehearsals which has quite a set routine: you do script reading in one room, then go to another and work on music for an hour, then come back and do read-throughs. I stock up on wine on the way home. It was reduced from £7.99 to £3.99; I do like a bargain. I watch the news and have Thai chicken before an early night. 

Friday: It's very much of the same again but I learn a new routine and the song for when I first appear on stage. It's Robbie Williams's "Let Me Entertain You" set to different words and a big choreographed dance routine. Then I block more scenes and we do the boudoir routine, where I have a makeover with my two daughters. Then it's a run-through of act one which everyone's worried we've all forgotten from yesterday. 

Cinderella is showing at the Swansea Grand Theatre from 17 December 

Interview by Gillian Orr: Saturday, 6 December 2008 

Su Pollard is, quite literally, a showbiz legend. Still fondly remembered as the scatter-brained chalet-maid, Peggy Ollerenshaw, from the hit BBC sit-com Hi-de-Hi!, her career has spanned 35 years and encompassed almost all aspects of the profession. 

Sparing some time before a performance of the 60’s musical, Shout!, Su offers a pre-interview warning. 

“You’ll have to excuse me if I’m a bit verbose, you know what I’m like, I don’t just say yes or no!” 

Almost everybody knows what Su Pollard is like, and adjectives such as eccentric, wacky, zany and comical are often used to describe her. However, these only represent one aspect of Su’s personality...

Shout!, a tribute to the decade when skirts were short and hair was high, twist-and-shouts its way to the Theatre Royal this week as part of its pre-West End tour. 

Most musicals tread a tricky tightrope between plot and music. 

Shout! side steps this dilemma by having virtually no plot at all.

Instead it’s all about the music, and why not for a period that brought us such crowd-pleasers as ‘Downtown’, ‘Big Spender’ and ‘These Boots Are Made For Walking’. 

The shows thirty-plus songs are hung off the adventures of three girls who move to London at the start of the Swinging Sixties. 

There’s the sexy one, Ruby (Claire Sweeney); the wannabe one, Georgina (Donna Steele); and the mousey one, Betty (Shona White). 

The tuneful trio endure various ups and downs over the years, all under the watchful eye of Aunt Yvonne (Su Pollard).

Mark McGee as the voice of Shout magazine (as well as a plethora of other comic cameos) guides us through the era.

If the lightweight, paper-thin plot doesn’t hold your interest though, don’t fret as another well-known classic will be along shortly. 

And sure enough they come thick and fast, belted out by the talented ensemble.

All have their moments to shine, although it is Pollard’s ‘You’re My World’ which almost brings the house down. 

She can certainly deliver a song, hitting those high (-de-hi) notes and attacking each number with panache. 

I might be too young to remember the Sixties myself but that didn’t matter – the audience (no matter what their age) shook, shimmied and clapped along as the infectious, feel good music took hold. 

Bursting with energy, Shout!  is an uplifting, fun night out. 

CINDERELLA

Su Pollard will be playing Baroness Hardup, Cinderella’s evil step-mother, while CBeebies presenter Chris Jarvis is the loveable Buttons. Sarah Thomas (from Last of the Summer Wine) makes dreams come true as the Fairy Godmother while local star Nia Jermin gets to place the glass slippers upon her feet.

Where and when: The Grand Theatre in Swansea, Dec 17-Jan 18. Booking: Tickets cost £7.50-£18 Box office: 01792 475 715.

A week-long run of shows begins this evening at 8.00pm.

Just like the Spring/Summer run, this tour has been a huge success and the show has delighted audiences at each venue it has visited. Su has really enjoyed playing Yvonne and being part of Shout!

You can forget all worries of the credit crunch and the nihilistic Noughties and step back in time to the swinging Sixties, the age of fun, fashion and free love, with Shout! 

Starring Claire Sweeney and Su Pollard, this musical is a delightful, unabashed dose of nostalgia that includes thirty soulful songs that made legends of Petula Clark, Cilla Black, Lulu and Dusty Springfield.

Ruby (Claire Sweeney), Georgina (Donna Steele) and Betty (Shona White) are three Northern girls who believe that the streets of London are, metaphorically, paved with gold. They head for the bright lights and are given a place to stay by Ruby’s Aunt Yvonne (Su Pollard) who runs Best Cuts, ‘the most luxurious hair salon in all of Peckham.’ 

Each of the girls have their own motivation for leaving home and heading for the capital: Ruby, a self-confessed ‘good-time girl’ has her heart set on bagging a rich sugar daddy; Georgina wants fame and fortune as an actress and model, and Betty is an aspiring secretary. 

The plot follows the three girls throughout the decade as they discover that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence. And during their times of trouble they each cry on the broad shoulders of Aunt Yvonne. 

In addition to many of the biggest hits of the 1960s, the story is peppered with a social commentary which comes from advertorials from the fictional magazine, ‘Shout!’ These are delivered by the cheesy-sleazy ad-man, Tony T (Mark McGee). 

Whilst there is a light-hearted storyline, it is the performances that make this show the gem that it is. The cast of seven – there are two ensemble performers, Louisa Maxwell and Francesca Newitt – are first class and there isn’t a weak link amongst them. 

Claire Sweeney is blessed with most of the sassiest, sexiest numbers and she does justice to them all, demonstrating just why she is becoming a darling of the West End stage. 

Donna Steele, who was so wonderful as Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie, puts in an energetic and accomplished performance and can make any tune her own. 

Shona White takes the role of geeky Betty and plays it perfectly. She can also really sell a song. 

But, in terms of all-round entertainment value, it is Su Pollard who really delivers the goods. Renowned for her abilities as an actress-comedienne, she also possesses a golden voice and belted out her numbers with passion and commitment, leaving the hairs on the back of my neck standing to attention. Her performance of You’re My World is worth the ticket price in itself. 

The direction and choreography, by Bill Deamer, is slick, precise and true to the era. However, it has to be said that he makes the performers work for their money – there is hardly a moment in the show in which they get the chance to stay still! 

Shout! is the sort of show that works best with an audience who are prepared to sing and clap along to the sounds of the Sixties. They needed no encouragement on the evening that I attended and by the finale were up on their feet singing, shimmying and clapping for all they were worth. 

This is a show that really is worth Shout!-ing about! 

Su Pollard, famed for her roles in Hi De Hi! and You Rang, M’Lord, is part of a group of girls bringing the decade, and all of its fashion and fun back to life in Shout!.

Now at the end of a successful tour, she will be at the New Victoria Theatre from Monday, November 24, and on the day of her 59th birthday she spoke to us about a project that has excited her as much as any other in her career.

“We had a spectacular production team from the beginning,” she said. “There are fantastic costumes, beautiful wigs and bright colours. I think everyone goes away feeling that they have seen a real Sixties revival.”

Playing 40-ish Yvonne, who runs a hairdressing salon in Peckham, the spirit of swinging London becomes clear as she welcomes impressionable young visitors looking for adventure in the capital.

“She’s the mother hen, and she looks after Ruby, played by Claire Sweeney, who’s her niece,” Su Pollard. “She [Ruby] meets two others doing the same thing.”

It means fun-loving Ruby, aspiring secretary Betty, played by Shona White, and wannabe star Georgina (Donna Steele), join the more experienced actress in singing and dancing their way towards an exciting future. Their enthusiasm, and the sense of fun, is infectious, and not just for those that remember the decade.

“Everywhere we’ve gone, all the audience have got up at the end, when we do a mega-mix of the songs, clapping and cheering. 

“There’s been a real mix of different people. Some of the younger ones might have been dragged along by their parents, but they all join in. Even some grandparents have brought little children along.” 

Pollard has an obvious advantage over the other actresses, she pointed out, having been a teenager in the 1960s.

“It means I can also point out things that you would and wouldn’t say [in the 1960s]. I can say 'that word, that’s too Nineties'.”

She admits to still being a fan of the fashions and style of the age which went along with a less inhibited way of life.

“After the 1940s and 1950s, the 1960s was a riot of colour. There was a whole new world of discos, and in this [Shout!] I think, 'I remember wearing something like that’.”

The music is another factor that Pollard loves about Shout!. There are songs from the likes of Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Lulu and her favourite, Dusty Springfield.

Dancing fans will not be disappointed either, and the Nottingham-born actress is grateful for the exercise.

“We never stop,” she said. “We probably only get about a five-minute break each during the whole thing. It means I don’t have to do any other exercise because it’s a great workout.” 

As an actress that made her name in sitcoms, Pollard feels the fun and energy of comedies and musicals suits her down to the ground.

Shout! runs from Monday, November 24, to Saturday, November 29. Call 0870 060 6645 or visit www.theambassadors.com/tickets

There seems to be an influx of successful musicals covering the music from the decades starting with Buddy (50s), Mamma Mia (70s) We Will Rock You (80s) and Never Forget ( 90s). So Shout! tries to fill in the gap of the 60s, but falls short.

We have a cast who try their best but the book is not strong enough to hold the show together so we are left with a series of songs from the 60s being strung together for no apparent good reason.

The story involves three girls who head down to swinging London. When Ruby (Claire Sweeney) goes to live with her Auntie Yvonne, she is joined by her two best friends Betty (Shona White) and Georgina (Donna Steele) all ready for the bright lights of the swinging capital. Yvonne is played by Su Pollard (Hi De Hi) and to hear her belt out songs that take her away from the comedy character she is still best known for is a delight. In fact she gets the best reception of the night and her rendition of You’re My World, rightly stops the show.

The story, as if it matters, is set in Yvonnes hairdressers and we move through the decade by references to the magazine of the day Shout! and the passing years being projected on the set. We see the onset of new inventions that are part of life today, such as tins and even the Milk Tray Man (how many memories does that jog!) gets a look in. But there is not enough material to make us care about the characters, what there is just about links us to the next song. The token man is played by Mark McGee who changes his costume for virtually every appearance and acts as the narrator.

The show though has one purpose and that is to let us hear the hits of the 60s once more which include Downtown, You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, Alfie, Colour My World and the title song Shout!

While Sweeney is billed as the star of the show she is outshone by her co-stars, as the audience’s affection is certainly for Pollard (who appears to be now a national treasure judging from the audience reaction) and Shona White and Donna Steele capture the mood of the era and cannot be faulted. On several occasions Sweeney seemed to be supporting the other cast members instead of leading the company.

This is a feel good nostalgia show but it does not quite hit the mark, which is a shame as while the song material is strong it fails to connect with the audience, who had the opportunity to be dancing in the aisles but remained steadfastly in their seats clapping along.

Tenovus has a distinguished history in breast cancer research, and work carried out in their laboratory led to the development of Tamoxifen, the world’s most successful and widely used breast cancer drug. Tenovus also is due to beging funding mobile units and local support centres which will enable patients to receive Chemotherapy closer to home.

Su says “Abseiling for Tenovus this October is a great way to raise awareness of Breast Cancer and raise money to help cancer patients in Wales.  Please get your friends together and join in the fun so that Tenovus can continue to support breast cancer patients in your community.”  The Swansea Abseil will take place at Princess House on the 4th of Oct. If you don’t have a head for heights why not organise your own event in aid of Tenovus Breast Cancer Awareness Month at your place of work or with your friends.

Cerys Jones, Community Fundraiser for Tenovus says “We all know someone who has been affected by cancer, this is why we need people to support Tenovus, have fun and raise money for this important cause. I’d like to thank Su for her support. All money raised from our Abseil will go towards funding the first mobile unit of its kind in Wales along with our network of local support centres which will help Tenovus to deliver the best cancer care.”

2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the recording of the Hi-de-Hi! pilot programme.   Something very special is being planned next year for fans of the show so please book mark this page for all the latest news.

By co-incidence,  it is also the 21st anniversary of the recording of the pilot of You Rang, M'Lord? so double celebrations are afoot. 

The first details are expected in November 2008,  so be sure to join us for an event in which cast members and fans can come together and mark two classic TV comedies by Perry and Croft starring Paul Shane,  Jeffrey Holland and Su Pollard.

Groovy chicks and funky fellas will get their first chance to see 60s feel-good musical, Shout! at Venue Cymru next month.

The Pioneer spoke to the show's stars, West End and TV celebrity Claire Sweeney and British institution and comedienne Su Pollard, during their hectic rehearsal schedule. 

Set in a London hair-dressing salon Shout! charts the progress of five women as they discover the freedom, fashion, fun and music that made the 60s such a memorable time. 

Su who has previously appeared in panto in Llandudno is looking forward to the show, she said: "The 60s was my era, I remember eagerly awaiting the new songs when they came out. It was a golden era, it was like being on an adventure. 

"The songs were really effective and had a real sing along quality and the fashions were great as well. It was also a time when women came into their own." 

Featuring a host hits including Downtown, Son Of A Preacher Man, I Only Wanna Be With You, These Boots Are Made For Walking and You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, Shout! is bound to make you feel like you are in the swinging sixties. 

Former Brookside actress Claire Sweeney has fond memories of the area, she said: "I have been to Llandudno many times before. I used to perform at the Arcadia and have lovely memories of the area. I used to stay in Rhos on Sea during the season. I did my apprenticeship at holiday camps and theatres all across North Wales. I am definitely looking forward to coming back." 

Talking about the show she said: "It is a really fun, good show, uplifting and is full of fantastic singing. I really enjoy being on stage it is so immediate and you can see the audience's reaction. The show finishes with a mega-mix of hits which always gets people dancing and singing along." 

Su added: "The audience can expect a great time. The music is all performed live by a four-piece band. It is a phenomenal, fantastic and fabulous show." 

Whether you are an original baby boomer or born in the 90s, Shout! is a celebration of an era everyone wishes they could have experienced - and now you can. 

Do not miss the chance to see this uplifting new musical, by the producers of smash-hits The Wedding Singer, Fame and Saturday Night during its first UK tour.
