Panto favourites return for Snow White

Classic fairytale Snow White will be the festive season’s pantomime at the New Theatre Royal where the cast for the production has been announced.

Louis Smith MBE takes on the role of the Huntsman returning to the theatre after playing Abanazar in Aladdin last year. 

“I'm thrilled to be back! I had an incredible experience doing panto last year, and Lincoln was so warm and welcoming,” said the former Olympian on his return.

“The audiences were fantastic, making my first panto experience truly unforgettable. I’m really excited to return to Lincoln and be welcomed back to the theatre. Lincoln has become my second home, and I can’t wait to dive back in, meet the new cast, and this time, play the good guy! Being the baddie was a lot of fun, and I got up to plenty of mischief, but now I’m ready to protect those in need. Snow White, Lincoln, get ready—I'm coming back very soon!”

Also returning in her third NTR role is X Factor favourite Amelia Lily as the Wicked Queen: “I’m so looking forward to being back at the wonderful New Theatre Royal this Christmas as the Wicked Queen, this is my first official Christmas Panto playing the villain. I couldn’t have asked for a better place than the New Theatre Royal to have this experience, as it has always made me feel at home.

Sophie Town is the titular Snow White in her first Christmas panto at the theatre having appeared in two Easter shows.

“I’m honoured to be playing the role of Snow White. I grew up with this fairytale and it is by far my favourite.”

Also taking to the NTR stage will be stand-up comic Patrick Monahan as Muddles; Alex Singh as Nurse Nelly; Althea Burey as Fairy Forget-Me-Not and the show’s producer, writer and director Natalie Hayes-Cowley who also stars as the Enchantress in the Mirror.

Snow White runs from December 3, 2024 until January 5, 2025.
