Ref. 73880-42A SWINDON dancer who saw her dreams come true when she stepped into a lead role in the Wyvern's panto has been hailed as a great success.
Kelly Edwards, 18, right, of St Andrew's Ridge, is on work experience at the theatre and was a member of the chorus line in Jack And The Beanstalk.
But when Jo Martell, 30, who plays Jill, had to pull out with a throat infection Kelly, as her understudy, had to take centre stage.
Kelly, who finished her four-day run on Monday, has now been applauded by the panto organisers for her good performance.
Jane Shrimpton, of the Wyvern Theatre, said: "She did absolutely brilliantly. She was a complete hit.
"The producer was in awe of her as, despite her nerves, she performed like a dream."
