The 1980's

Biographies
The 1980's saw Denise debut in Pantomime. Her first, in Hull, had her in third billing with Peter Goodwright & Terry Halll (With Lenny The Lion) taking the lead. Denise was very nervous for lots of reasons. She was the first of the Nolan Sisters to star in in panto and many eyes were on her.  The video of the perfromance shows Denise with strong vocals, although Denise says that she can hear her own nerves in her voice. The show came complete with a twelve piece orchestra. Something that became much rarer in Pantomimes the country over. It's interesting to note that the show ran almost into February! Throughout the 1980's Denise starred as Snow White four times. A role she went onto reprise FIFTEEN times throughout her panto career. We have endeavoured to capture the main poster/flyer for you to see.
