Theatr Clwyd earlier this year announced that their Rock ‘n’ Roll panto this year would be Mother Goose. With 16,000 tickets already booked the legendary panto is a tradition for many across North Wales. Today the venue has announced the full cast with many returning favourites.
Returning to the stage is panto dame royalty Phylip Harries as Gwladys Goose (Sleeping Beauty), Dan Bottomley as Barry (Sleeping Beauty), Joe Butcher as Freddie the Fox (Robin Hood), Celia Cruwys-Finnigan as Mari Goose (Sleeping Beauty), Alice McKenna as Billie Eyelash (Sleeping Beauty), Chioma Uma as Carrie (Robin Hood) and Georgina White as Suella De Rhyl (Sleeping Beauty).
Making their Theatr Clwyd panto debuts are Imad Eldeen as Hari Parry, Ryan Owen as Glennie Goose and Steve Simmonds as Lord Larry Parry.
The show will once again be written by award-winning writer Christian Patterson. Theatr Clwyd’s Associate Director Daniel Lloyd (Constellations, Sleeping Beauty) returns to direct this year’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Panto.
I’m so excited to be returning to the Main Theatre after the Big Top and ahead of the full building opening next year. Having performed on this stage many times I know what a thrill it will be for our stellar cast and can’t wait to welcome our audiences back in. Mother Goose is the ultimate Dame panto and it promises to be a rollicking treat for all.Daniel Lloyd.
