Tam Ryan returns for Wolverhampton Grand Theatre pantomime ALADDIN
Wolverhampton Grand Theatre has announced the return of panto favourite Tam Ryan, who is back for a second sensational season in Aladdin from Saturday 3 December 2022-Saturday 7 January 2023.
Tam will play Wishee Washee and bring with him his signature charm and wit, which asserted him as a firm audience favourite in Cinderella. His appearance as Buttons in last year’s pantomime achieved huge critical acclaim and it has just been announced that Tam has received a finalist nomination in the ‘Best Comic’ category for his role in Cinderella at the Pantomime Awards by the UK Pantomime Association.
Ryan said: “When I walked out as Buttons for the first time to that opening night audience of Cinderella, I have to say that I thought they were the best panto audience I’ve ever performed to. There wasn’t one single show of the run where I thought ‘this isn’t going to work’ – the Wolverhampton panto is a very good fit for me. The Grand Theatre is perfect for panto, because it’s a very intimate auditorium but it seats a mighty 1,200 people, which is great for comedy because you still get the big audience laughter but none of the comedy gets lost – I can’t wait to come back!”
Further star casting for Aladdin is to be announced soon.
