Three of the performers in this pantomime<br />
had all begun their professional careers at<br />
the <strong>KMT</strong> during 1983: Peter Beadle,<br />
Simon Hayward and Michael Clark. To<br />
avoid confusion with another Equity<br />
member of the same name, Michael Clark<br />
would change his name to Michael French<br />
and go on to enjoy a highly successful<br />
career on television.<br />
This show also marked the first occasion<br />
on which Loraine Porter was responsible<br />
for the choreography—and she would<br />
continue to be the creative force behind<br />
<strong>KMT</strong> pantomime dances for very many<br />
years.
