Kelle helps Derby break Panto record

This season's Derby Assembly Rooms panto is set to break all previous records.

Cinderella, starring former Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey and ex-Eternal singer Kelle Bryan, is on course to be the most successful pantomime yet at the venue.

Morrissey's star quality, good reviews and word of mouth are all boosting audiences and producing packed houses for a show which is bucking the national trend in the recession.

Peter Ireson, director of Derby Live, which co-produces the pantomime each year with Paul Holman, said: "We were behind on bookings from very early on in January compared with last year. At one point we were over 15% down on the previous year. But as soon as Neil came to town in the summer to promote the show it started to pick up and now it's racing ahead – and is currently 10% up on 2008.

"If the trajectory keeps going that way it will be the most successful pantomime ever at the Assembly Rooms."

The show is written by father-and-son comedy duo Keith and Ben Simmons, with dad also directing.

It's the fourth year the pair have been behind the show.

Neil Morrissey plays Buttons and his ad-libbing and rapport with audiences has been a big boost.

CINDERELLA

WHERE: Derby Assembly Rooms.

WHEN: Until January 10.

Kelle Bryan is starting her first EuroMillions draw with a bang - there's an estimated £85 million Mega Jackpot up for grabs.

The star, who shot to fame in girl band Eternal, said: "I'm really excited at the chance to present the EuroMillions draw show and to help create lots of new winners across the UK.

"From years in the music industry, I'm used to hitting the No 1 spot so fingers crossed we might send a player to the top of the winners' chart this week."

She went on: "Let's hope we can break all records and create the UK's largest jackpot winner ever."

As with all draw show presenters Kelle cannot play The National Lottery, but she can still dream about what she would have spent the money on.

She said: "If I scooped the jackpot I would invest in a substantial property portfolio - including the really nice house I viewed at the weekend, a life time supply of Jimmy Choos, finish my mum's house in St Lucia and definitely make a social contribution."

Torn continues to dazzle sell-out audiences and critics alike. Here are a selection of review highlights:

'Graffitied girders, gauze screens and a loud, hip soundtrack - a gladiatorial ring across which the excellent cast struts its family honour. Regular cries of ‘Oh my gosh!’ from the young audience members testify to both its humour and its hard-hitting truth.' **** Time Out

'Tackled beautifully by an astonishing cast, the dialogue is sharp, fast and genuinely funny - utterly electrifying.' **** What’s on Stage

'A brilliant ear for idiom - Jocelyn Jee Esien is superb, Wil Johnson every bit her equal as the outrageous, high-voltage, sometimes appallingly funny villains of the piece.' Sunday Times

'A raw and powerful new drama; shocking stuff, powerfully performed in Raz Shaw’s gutsy production. There is no mistaking the play's bruising impact, or the urgency of its theme.' Telegraph

'Urgent, vital, strongly accented stuff in a gripping intheround production. Kelle Bryan is especially fine.' Evening Standard
'Raz Shaw's production is energised by vibrant performances from an excellent cast who do rich justice to the street-smart, savvy humour and sharp observation in the piece.' Independent

'Fun, funky and perfectly done: slick directing, fabulous lighting and faultless acting.' British Theatre Guide

Torn is running for another three weeks - and is sold out most nights - so grab your tickets while you can! Call the Box Office on 020 7503 1646 or book online at www.arcolatheatre.com.
Tickets cost £15, or £10 for concessions. Tickets are buy one, get one free for Oyster Card holders and the theatre runs "Pay What You Can Tuesdays" - so don't miss out!

Kelle's new play, "Torn" opened at the Arcola Theatre in London last night and is running until August 2nd. Sharp-tongued, witty, provocative and bold, Torn tells familiar story of star-crossed lovers against an unfamiliar backdrop - inter-racial conflict in our black communities.

To celebrate, we have a pair of tickets and a meet and greet with Kelle after the show!

New diary entry

Hello everyone!

Firstly - thank you so much for all of your support! You all mean so much to me and really inspire me to go on. I have read a few emails on the myspace and Eternal fan sites - that's always fun to read and catch up with your views and thoughts .

The Marathon was excellent, challenging and left me in bed for a week but totally fresh and new in my thoughts. I'm sure over the years you have got to know me fairly well so you can image what challenge I'm gonna come with next.

Pre-marathon I bumped into some old mates - Ronan Keating and Kate Lawler, which was fun. You can also see my personal trainer Stephen Bradley who was absolutely fantastic on the day. He ran it just to support me, which is an amazing thing to do. My mum was there as ever and this time she didn't worry - she was a tower of strength and keeps me focused. I love you Mum!!

Andy always keeps me updated with you guys and does an amazing job even when I'm not around.

As you know I ran for Cancer research because my Nan was diagnosed and is better now. Thank God. There were all kinds of fun characters running for all kinds of reasons but all selfless motivation which really promoted a sense of camaraderie.

I am going into Torn rehearsals soon, so look out for the standard competions. I would really like to spend some time with whoever wants to come, its an amazing cast so priviledged to be working with them and a great director. Big thanks to everyone for your prayers and support - 2008 is great !!!

God bless and big hugs Kelle

PS: write to me - I want to hear all about what you guys have been up to ?
