Final preparations for the Panto, led by the creative team of Quintin Young and Andrew Stark are well under way, and Musical Director Joe Paxton will be joining the company for the entire run.

Allan Jay is playing Prince Lorenzo in Snow White, Glasgow. Dave Lynn is playing one of those nasty step sisters in Cinderella with skating legends, Torvill and Dean at the Opera House, Manchester and he will also be appearing in the Christmas edition of Birds of a Feather on ITV. Miss Jason is playing to rave reviews: “Best Panto Dame I have ever seen” as Sarah the Cook with X-Factor winner Sam Bailey in Dick Wittington, Aylesbury. Lola Lasagna is playing Widow Twankey in Aladdin, Leeds and Chris Howard is playing Slippery Sid in Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, Skegness.
No Brighton production would be complete without an appearance at some point from that legendary Brighton institution Maisie Trollette. who will be appearing as if by magic at each performance.
Add to that the talents of Davina Sparkle, Jason Lee and Cassidy Connors who are appearing nightly in cabaret throughout the UK and you have the ingredients for a fabulous. X-rated, high performance show.
Quintin Young who is staging the Panto, said: “This production is set to raise the bar and maintain the first class tradition of alternative adult Pantos in Brighton & Hove”.
