Wolverhampton Grand Theatre has announced that CBeebies presenter Evie Pickerill return to the venue to play the title role of Snow White in their spectacular family pantomime from 2 December 2023 – 7 January 2024.

She joins the previously announced Tam Ryan and Ian Adams with further casting to be announced soon.

Evie starred as Cinderella in the 2021/22 pantomime season and won the hearts of the audiences young and old.

Evie, from Kingswinford, said: “It’s so nice to be back! I don’t want to wish the year away but I’m already so excited for Christmas! I have the best memories from Cinderella, it was my first pantomime and I had the most magical time - it’s like a big warm hug being here! I’ve been coming to the Grand since I was about six years old, so to be back here is wonderful! I performed here when I was 16 and I remember thinking then that I need to come back here and perform professionally one day if I can -  to say that I am for a second time is just mind blowing. I can’t wait to return and make magic for the Christmas season again!”

Chief Executive and Artistic Director of Wolverhampton Grand, Adrian Jackson said: “We are delighted to welcome Evie back this year. She is an incredibly talented performer and was a huge hit with our audiences – she truly makes a pantomime magical. Snow White promises to be our most exciting pantomime yet. We are busy preparing many surprises that have never before been seen in a Wolverhampton pantomime and together Tam Ryan and Ian Adams are already working on a fabulously funny script. We are commissioning brand new sets and costumes to create a lavish family pantomime that will be the unmissable festive event this Christmas!”
