Mirror, mirror on the wall… What’s the greatest panto of them all? Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, of course, which will play at Fairfield Halls.
Poor Snow White is doomed to live unhappily ever after with her horrid stepmother, the Wicked Queen. In true rags-to-riches style, Snow White manages, with the help of her madcap friend Muddles, to meet a handsome Prince and make her dreams come true. With a beautiful princess, a jealous Wicked Queen, seven bumbling dwarfs, a naughty nurse, a hilarious jester and not forgetting a poisoned apple and a magic mirror, it’s not to be missed! Bursting with great songs, stunning dance routines and plenty of laughter, this is a truly magical treat for all the family. This festive extravaganza is on sale now so book your seats today to see Croydon’s must-see Christmas show in 2024. EastEnders, Biff and Chip, and Casualty star Kellie Shirley will play the role of ‘Wicked Queen’. Kellie has enjoyed a varied and versatile career to date working alongside some of the most exciting and established international and UK based talent. Kellie is best known for playing the popular character of ‘Carly Wicks’ in over 200 episodes of Eastenders, and to younger viewers as Mum in three series of the favourite CBBC programme Biff and Chip. She has recently joined the BAFTA-winning Casualty as new series regular, psych nurse ‘Sophia Peters’.
Kellie said, “I’m thrilled to be channelling my inner Wicked Queen for Croydon’s panto this year – as a local girl, I can’t wait to be back in my old stomping ground again for Snow White.”
Joining Kellie is Jamie Steen , who will play the role of ‘Dame Dilly Donut’.
Jamie said “I’m over the moon to be coming to Croydon this Christmas as Dame Dilly in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Born and raised in South East London, I’m especially excited to be appearing at the Fairfield Halls, as it’s my local theatre. Looking forward to coming home for Christmas and strutting my stuff and fashion sense to all the Croydonians!”
Panto favourite Charlie Guest will return this year as ‘Muddles’.
Charlie said, I’m so excited to be returning to Fairfield halls for my second year. This time for the fairest Panto of them all! I can’t wait for the music, the chaos and I really fancy a bite of that juicy red apple!”
