Bushbaby Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 A friend of my mum's took us to see Jimmy Clitheroe in Aladdin. It was brilliant. We went backstage to met him afterwards but sadly he just looked like a little old man. A shattered illusion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ping Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thw stage manager's name was John - he later went on to become stage manager in Leeds. The chief electrician was Hedley Morton and he eventually became stage manager before the bingo took over. Alf was the guy in the 'flies'. Also I remember: Mick the fireman Harold the milkman I worked on the lighting board, operated the 'limes' and patrolled the OP side. Roy Hudd was a great guy and regularly used to join us in the Adelphi for a game on the pin table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man up in the flyes was definitley Walt in my time. (He was my Father in Law). I remember Hedley though most of the others were firemen working part-time from Division St.Station.

ping Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I vaguely remember Walt but not Eric. I do remember playing a lot of 7 card brag during the shows. Going back to the original post - I now recall that Cardew Robinson was also in that pantomime, along with Gordon and Bunny Jay - whatever happened to them? One of the chorus girls was called Kath from Blackpool - now that does bring back memories.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
