Paul Hendy and Evolution Productions have announced full casting for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Lichfield Garrick, which runs from 25 November-31 December.

Lichfield legend Sam Rabone is back once again for his seventh year at the Garrick as he returns as Nurse Nellie. He’ll also be directing the production as well; it’s now his fifth year doing so.

Rabone said: “HELLO LICHFIELD! Well, we'll have to do it again then won’t we?! This is the first time I'm doing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs here at the Garrick, so we are all in for a treat! We have such a good cast it was great to meet them all this week, and what a magnificent seven we have too! From a handsome Prince to an evil queen, this panto has it all! With all new jokes this year (and some old ones we should probably know better than to use again), I can't wait to hear the first few bars of ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ and bring you the fairest panto of them all! If you’re sad that summer is over, don't worry panto is just around the corner! See you soon, lovely people!”

Joining Sam are two more familiar faces – Maria Conneely, who played Lizzie in All New Adventures of Peter Pan, and George Akid from 2019’s panto Cinderella, where he played one of the Ugly Sisters.

Also joining the cast are Daniel Breakwell as Prince Charming and Lindsay Bennett-Thompson as the Wicked Queen.

Snow White will be joined on stage by the Magnificent Seven, including familiar faces such as Brian Wheeler (Star Wars) as Brian, and Dean Whatton (Game of Thrones, Call the Midwife) as Sarge. There’s also Liam Roche as Groover, George Coppen as Striker, Jack Hilton as Cheeky, Isaac Napoli as Loopy, and Geoffrey Sergison as Sniffly.

Interim Executive Manager of the Lichfield Garrick, Matt Clay, said: “We’ve faced many challenges this year, so we’re delighted to be bringing our annual festive treat back in full force. We have a wealth of talent amongst our cast and crew, and everyone here at the venue is very excited for a Christmas season full of magic, entertainment, and laughter!”
