Pantomime will be making a magical return to Darlington Hippodrome from 8-31 December, with star casting announced for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs today.

Pop and musical theatre star Gareth Gates will headline the family Christmas spectacular, playing the Prince, alongside The Chase’s Vixen Jenny Ryan as The Wicked Queen and the hilarious Josh Benson as Muddles.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be produced by the world’s biggest pantomime producer and the team behind last year’s production of The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan, Crossroads Pantomimes. Packed full of the magical ingredients Darlington audiences have come to expect including striking sets, stunning song and dance, plenty of audience participation, and shattering amounts of laughter, this is a magical adventure the whole family can enjoy.

Crossroads Pantomime’s Chief Executive Michael Harrison said: “I’m thrilled to have Gareth, Jenny and Josh with us in pantomime this year at Darlington Hippodrome. Gareth is an immensely talented artist and has always wowed audiences everywhere he’s appeared in panto. Jenny is a powerhouse and will be a fantastic addition to the show alongside the hilarious, energetic talent that is Josh. I’m certain that with the three of them together on stage, Darlington audiences are in for a real treat this Christmas.”
