Review: Comic pairing works a treat at Swan's panto in High Wycombe
9:56am Wednesday 14th December 2011 in Local Reviews By Rebecca Cain
LESLEY Joseph and Matt Slack are a pantomime dream team and had the Wycombe Swan audience last night eating out of the palm of their hands.
The Birds of a Feather star took the role of the kind yet slightly moody Fairy Godmother in this year's panto, Cinderella, while comedian Slack played the loveable and very funny Buttons.
It is easy to see that Joseph is a professionally trained actress as her comic timing was perfect and she played her role with ease. This was complimented by Slack, who knows exactly how to make the children and the adults in the audience laugh.
They were surrounded by a stalwart cast with beautiful sets and the lighting deserves a special mention as it brought a magical feel to the theatre.
To see the full review pick up the Bucks Free Press this Friday.

The Swan is a great Venue and this is one of the best evenings I have had in live theatre. Lesley Joseph and Matt Slack worked so well with each other, the rest of the cast and the audience, especially Tony in the third row. Just brilliant!!! I recommend it to anyone.
