Dame Judi Dench leads star cast for Cinderella
Nation's favourite Dame Judi Dench will be the voice of the Narrator at the upcoming family pantomime Cinderella.
King's Head Theatre will also be welcoming Drag Race UK's Ella Vaday (Nick Collier) in the role of ugly sister Peckham and ITV's Mamma Mia: I Have a Dream's Maddy Erzan-Essein as Cinders.
Full of comedy, romance, slapstick and sing-a-longs, boo and cheer Cinderella, Prince Charming, Peckham & Dalston, the Fairy Godmother and more, when the show opens on November 30.
Sofi Berenger, Executive Producer (Acting CEO) of King’s Head Theatre, said: "What an honour and treat to have none other than Dame Judi Dench providing a voiceover as our Narrator in our first ever pantomime.
"We have a couple of more surprises up our sleeves but this whole cast are going to be phenomenal. Ella Vaday (Nick Collier) is an amazing musical theatre and comedy talent, and as a space which has a commitment to LGBTQ+ talent, in all forms, we’re so excited to have Ella joining the cast along with Maddy, Joseph, Verity, Robert, Harry and Lucia. "We’ve got some super experienced pantomime talent, and I can’t wait to see what they do with Andy Pollard’s hilarious script and direction. We’re hoping this is only the start of a new staple to London’s Christmas pantomime scene."
