Jason Donovan to star in Mayflower Theatre panto with Faye Brookes, Richard Cadell & Sooty

Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre have announced that actor, singer and TV star Jason Donovan will lead the cast in their magical panto this year, alongside Coronation Street and musical theatre star Faye Brookes, with the triumphant return of Richard Cadell & Sooty in Goldilocks and the Three Bears from 10 December-31 December.

With sets and costumes from The London Palladium, Goldilocks and the Three Bears follows Dame Betty Barnum and her daughter Goldilocks, who are battling to save their circus from the Evil Ringmaster who is intent on stealing their three loveable bears and leaving them in ruin.  

Jason Donovan plays the Evil Ringmaster following his successful panto season at Birmingham Hippodrome, with Faye Brookes playing the title role of Goldilocks. Sooty will play himself with Richard Cadell as his best friend Joey the circus clown. 

Producer Michael Harrison, said: “It is going to be sensational to have Jason, Faye and Richard play to Southampton audiences this Christmas in this wonderfully circus-themed pantomime that will incorporate the very best of the production I created for the sell-out London Palladium panto in 2019.”

Produced by Crossroads Pantomimes, Goldilocks and the Three Bears will bring all the laughter, spectacle, special effects and festive magic audiences have come to expect each year from Southampton’s ultimate pantomime. 

For three weeks only the Mayflower Theatre will be transformed into a sensational circus, where everything is possible, and anything could (and will) happen.
