The Pantomime (new) Thread

[Butterfield]

This year at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre:

...starring the lovely Debbie McGee direct from the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom and Richard Cadell and Sooty. Panto favourites Doreen Tipton and Ian Adams, both back by popular demand, return for a third consecutive season! And West End star Oliver Ormson (Book of Mormon, The Addams Family) plays the Prince.

I thought that was Eddie Izzard on the right.

Peter Pan is on at Sheffield's Lyceum Theatre.

Is that Barry from Eastenders?

I do hope that's an actual Native American playing a Native American.

...starring Shaun Williamson (EastEnders, Extras), Wendi Peters (Coronation Street), Sheffield legend Damian Williams and children’s favourites, Gemma Hunt (CBeebies’ Swashbuckle) and David Ribi (Milkshake).

...Sheffield legend Damian Williams

For the eight millionth year running.

He STILL doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

Unless he's...

Seriously, every year for as long as I can remember, Sheffield's big panto has starred a man no one has ever heard of but is described as a legend.

I do hope that's an actual Native American playing a Native American.

It's Gemma Hunt, who I think is mixed race white and black, so naturally that ticks all the boxes for playing a Native American in about 1975.

...Sheffield legend Damian Williams

For the eight millionth year running.

It wouldn't be Christmas on this forum without him! Whoever he still is.

Chesterfield's Pomegranate Theatre is doing Cinderella.

No, not even one of them.

Rhydian was on Z Factor or Britain's Got No Talent some years ago. I get mixed up between him and Rylan.

I thought "Ashley Stirling" was Holly Valance at first.

I'm now getting Pantomime adverts at the top of each thread I click on.

This is my geographically nearest p*nto...



Who de **** am dey? 

[Guest]

I think I vaguely know the Emmerdale Farm one.

[Fangirl Three]

My geographically nearest p*nto doesn't even pretend to feature anyone famous.

[Butterfield]

As I'm sure everyone is eager to know, panto favourites The Krankies are playing in their native Glasgow.

Bradford have what is probably the most celebrity-tastic lineup so far....
