The Theatre Royal, Nottingham, and Qdos Entertainment have announced the headline cast for this year’s family pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Following the return of Birds of a Feather to our television screens, Lesley Joseph will star as The Wicked Queen. Joining Lesley onstage is EastEnders heartthrob and Dancing on Ice 2011 champion Sam Attwater as The Prince.

Back by popular demand, Ben Nickless (last year’s critically acclaimed Mr Smee) returns to play the hapless Muddles, alongside one of the theatre’s most popular pantomime dames, Andrew Ryan, who will play the nurse.

Jonathan Kiley, executive producer, said: “The Theatre Royal annual pantomime provides a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to come together to enjoy a memorable visit to the theatre. We are delighted to have put together such a fabulous cast for this year’s pantomime and audiences can look forward to an unmissable production packed with comedy, sensational musical numbers together with fabulous sets and costumes. This is pantomime at its best.”
