Manchester Opera House has announced casting for its socially distanced pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, supported by the National Lottery.

Confirmed to feature are Jason Manford as Muddles, Jodie Prenger as the Enchantress, Louis Gaunt (character tba), Eric Potts as the Queen and Billy Pearce as King Billy.

This year's production will be a riotously funny, one-act celebration of pantomime, packed full of comedy and laughter and will allow audience members the opportunity to come safely together and enjoy the magic of the much-loved and unique art form this festive season.

The ATG venue’s Christmas show will run from 12 December 2020 - 3 January 2021.
