Theatre Severn to stage extra panto shows after bad weather stopped people travelling
Theatre Severn bosses have scheduled two extra performances of their hit show, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs after disgruntled panto ticket holders were not able to attend due to the weather.
But the it went ahead - with more than 600 people enjoying both performances.
Craig Reeves, Theatre Severn spokesman said: "We are pleased to confirm that two additional performances have now been scheduled to accommodate ticketholders who were unable to attend on Sunday due to adverse weather conditions.
"Following the decision to proceed with performances for those who could attend, Theatre Severn and Evolution Productions also began to explore options for those who may be unable to do so.
"Due to very limited availability on forthcoming performances, we were unable to offer immediate ticket exchanges, and quickly prioritised discussions around scheduling extra performances.
"With much to discuss and resolve during a developing situation, we regret that we were not able to speculate publicly upon potential solutions for those ticketholders at an earlier stage.
"After exploring all options, additional performances have now been scheduled for 1pm on January 3 and 4."
All ticketholders who were unable to attend on Sunday will receive further advice directly regarding potential exchanges to those additional performances, or next year's pantomime Mother Goose. Exchanges will be available via Box Office from Monday.
Mr Reeves added: "We are continuing to contact schools and other ticketholders affected by recent weather conditions. Schools affected by closures will be offered refunds or exchanges to Mother Goose.
"We also hope to confirm a rescheduled screening of Oscar Wilde’s ‘A Woman of No Importance’ in due course. We will contact those ticketholders when we have further information.
"Everyone at Theatre Severn is hugely grateful to all who have attended in recent days, and also for the understanding and patience of ticketholders who could not, while we have worked to arrange those additional performances."
