Steve
was delighted to be asked to play "Buttons"
for 2007 / 08 season at the Opera House in Manchester.
It will be hopefully the first of many happy collaborations
with First Family Entertainment
The
show starred Johnny Briggs and Tina O´Brien
from "Coronation Street", Bernie Nolan from
"Brookside" and "The Bill".
Prince
Charming was played by Manchester´s favourite
Radio Presenter Mike Toolan. The Ugly Sisters were
played by Roger Kitter and Steve Luck. We also had
a superb Dandini in Richard Reynard.
We
had a great team, and a lot of fun. It proved to be
a a record breaking Pantomime for the Opera House,
and the reviews for the show were excellent. You will
find some of Steve's reviews and various photo's from
the Cinderella below.

"Geordie
Steve Walls was a hugely likeable and down-to-Earth
Buttons. Watching Walls interact with the lucky
youngsters who got to go on stage was a delight,
and performers like him, make the art of panto
look very easy"
Kate Stirupp;
Metro News
"First
up was Buttons (played adeptly by Steve Walls)
who was charged with the act of entertaining the
crowd. Like a loaded Gatling Gun of lame (but
hilarious) jokes he quickly stole the show"

"Panto
veterans, Roger Kitter and Steve Luck, as Paris and
Britney, got laughs as the Ugly Sisters, but stealing
the comedy honours is young comedian, Steve Walls, who
is a totally appealing Buttons"
The Stage; Natalie Anglessey
"Eric
Potts script is excellent, gaining more cheesy laughs
per minute than any other Christmas production. Steve
Walls Buttons is utterly engaging, delivering Potts
gags like bullets. But he also brings sentiment to the
piece with ease, working wonderfully with kids picked
from the audience"
Whatsonstage; Glenn
Meads
"The
whole production is held together by Steve Walls as
Buttons who quickly gets the children on his side with
his cheeky North East patter"
Stephen Garner; BBC
Manchester
"Buttons,
played by Steve Walls, was the star of the show keeping
the audience involved and laughing throughout"
