Oh, yes it is and musical theatre star and television personality Brenda Edwards will star as The Fairy Godmother in Cinderella alongside ventriloquist John Kimmons as Baron Hardup, and comedian Steven Dalziel as Buttons, at this year’s family pantomime at The Churchill Theatre.
They are joined by Tia Gyngell who stars in the title role and West End performers Darren Bennett and Jak Allen-Anderson who will star as Cinderella’s evil Wicked Sisters.
Making wishes come true this Christmas as The Fairy Godmother, Brenda’s professional career started when she was the last woman standing in the 2005 season of The X Factor. Since The X Factor, Brenda has gone on to take the musical theatre world by storm, playing roles in Chicago, We Will Rock You, Carousel and Hairspray. Brenda has just finished the summer run at the London Coliseum in We Will Rock You as the Killer Queen. She has also been a popular face on TV as a regular on ITV’s daytime panel show Loose Women.
Brenda said: “I’m so excited to be back in Pantoland this year! I can’t wait to perform as the iconic Fairy Godmother in the most magical panto of them all. Bromley audiences, see you soon!”
Matt Powder, General Manager at the Churchill Theatre said: “The Churchill Theatre is thrilled that the utterly magical Cinderella will be taking over our stage this Christmas after our record-breaking panto last year! We’re looking forward to welcoming this hugely talented cast who are sure to put on a fabulous show, perfect for the whole family.”
