The Palace Theatre in Mansfield has already sold almost 65% of tickets for this winter’s annual pantomime.

It is urging customers to book early if they want to secure certain seats or performances for Cinderella (Christmas Eve shows already have very limited availability) and reminded people that its usual pay-now save-now offer expires on 31st August.

Melanie Walters, from TV’s Gavin and Stacey, is playing the Fairy Godmother, while Milkshake! presenter Olivia Birchenough will be Cinderella.

Funny man Adam Moss will again be back, this time in the role of Buttons.

“This year marks my 30th year in show business, which is hard to believe considering I’m only 37! he said. “What better way to celebrate than being back in Mansfield for one of their favourite pantomimes, Cinderella? I have so many ideas up my sleeve to make it another show to remember.”

Completing the casting line up are Jamie Morris and Tarot Joseph who promise to bring an extensive range of outrageous yet glamorous costumes to their roles as the Ugly Sisters.
