Sleeping Beauty Blackpool

Thrilled to be back for my 7th season with UK Productions
(my 15th consecutive Christmas playing Dame).
This year I'm playing Nurse Nelly in Sleeping Beauty at the Blackpool Grand - a wonderful Matcham theatre.
It's great working with local legend Steve Royle, who is playing Silly Billy (his 12th panto at the Grand), and to be back with lovely Michael Chance, playing the King, who I was with in Sleeping Beauty in Basingstoke in 2010. 
It's a terrific company this year and Jennifer, Lewis, Hayley and Phoebe are all great fun too.

Reviews etc on my Panto blog:
