Cinderella at
The Theatre Royal Nottingham
The Theatre Royal Nottingham have a
star-studded line-up for the ultimate
family pantomime this festive season,
starring Coronation Street’s Les
Dennis and Connor McIntyre who will
swap the cobbles for clutch bags as
the Ugly Sisters, alongside Pop Idol
star Gareth Gates as Prince Charming,
with Richard Cadell and Sooty starring
as Buttons.
Jonathan Saville, interim venue
director at the Theatre Royal
Nottingham, said: “We are so
excited to announce a really strong
pantomime cast line-up today.
Cinderella is already such a beautiful
and well-loved story, and I think the
sheer talent and comedy value this
cast can bring will raise this year’s
panto to another level. Our Ugly
Sisters will be unrecognisable from
their Corrie personas, so that alone
will be a treat for all the soap fans
in the audience. Alongside Gareth’s
wonderful voice, and Richard Cadell
and Sooty’s comedy and magic tricks,
we hope this years’ show will have
plenty for everyone to enjoy.”
Don’t miss your chance to see
Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother of
all pantomimes. The clock is ticking…
book your tickets to the Ball today!
