Making costumes for the large casts of amateur pantomimes is always a phenomenal task.

But watching Humpty Dumpty I realised it must be particularly formidable for Keighley Amateurs.

The dozens of children and adults seemed to have a different outfit every time they appeared.

And this colourful clothing was one of the highlights of a well-written and performed show at Victoria Hall.

Humpty ticked all the right boxes for the delighted family audience -- it was funny, lively, adventurous and tuneful.

It didn't have the star-bright sparkle of the very best Keighley shows -- such as last year's Babes in the Wood.

But part of this could be that I saw Humpty on its first day, a packed and noisy matinee performance.

Amongst many imaginative routines just one song and dance -- the recent pop song Shine -- was below par.

For me the most memorable performances came from Savannah Horsfall as a confident and cheeky Humpty and Lynsey Whitham as a confident and lovely-voiced Princess Julia.
