Star-Studded Cast for Cinderella
Comedy legends Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders reunite after 17 years as the Ugly Sisters. Julian Clary returns as the Fairy Godmother, joined by Nigel Havers, ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, and Rob Madge.
Hope Dawe portrays Cinderella, while Dex Lee plays Prince Charming.
French and Saunders shared their excitement: “We have wished to play the Ugly Sisters for so many years, it feels this is the fulfilment of a dream – a dream our hearts made. Watch out. It won’t be pretty.”
Producer Michael Harrison commented: “We always want to raise the bar for our incredible panto audiences each year, so I’m absolutely delighted that Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders will be starring in this year’s Cinderella. Having two of the nation’s most beloved comedy icons together on the Palladium stage is incredibly exciting. Their legendary chemistry and razor-sharp humour will make this a truly special experience for audiences.”
