The principal cast of Norwich Theatre’s pantomime, Cinderella, gathered together for the first time in Norwich Theatre Stage Two for photos and videos.
Panto favourite Joe Tracini, who plays Buttons, EastEnders star Danny Hatchard, who plays Prince Charming and Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote, who plays Cinderella, were at the shoot. They were joined by West End talent Hannah-Jane Fox as The Fairy Godmother and award-winning Jeevan Braich as Dandini.
Also at the photoshoot was Nimmo Twin Legend Owen Evans and one half of The Squirrels Kenny Moore, who donned the Dame’s frock as the Wicked Sisters.
Wendy Ellis, Norwich Theatre Creative Programmes & Audiences Director and Lead Producer of the pantomime, said: “It has been such a great day seeing everyone in their costumes for the first time. It really gets us ready and raring to go. With this much energy, I can already tell it’s going to be a fantastic festive treat.”
Danny Hatchard said: “Now that I’m in the costume, I truly feel like Prince Charming, and I cannot wait for the panto to start. I’ve performed at the Norwich Theatre Royal before, and the incredible audience response is something I’ll never forget, and I hope the Norwich audiences will love our panto!”
You will have a blast with this magical tale of love and hope. Cinderella dreams of a life outside of the confines of her home, where she cleans, cooks, and looks after her sisters.
Like every good friend, her best pal Buttons keeps her spirits up as she finds out that her sisters are invited to the prince’s ball, but poor Cinders isn’t. Will Cinderella ever meet Prince Charming? Will her fairy Godmother make her dreams come true? Will there be some baddies to boo and hiss at? Of course! It’s panto.
Cinderella opens at Norwich Theatre Royal on 6 Dec 25 and runs over Christmas and New Year until 4 Jan 26.
