Wolverhampton Grand's festive panto proves a hit with audiences
This year's dazzling Grand panto has been a Christmas hit so far – and there's still plenty of time to enjoy the show.
The entire Dick Whittington pantomime cast and crew at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre has come together for one big group photo, to celebrate the 2019 performance.
This panto season join hero Dick Whittington on the ultimate rags to riches adventure as he helps outwit Queen Rat and take his rightful place as Lord Mayor of London.
Ryan Thomas of Coronation Street stars as Dick Whittington, alongside comedy legends Su Pollard and Jeffrey Holland from Hi-de-Hi! in this year’s dazzling family panto filled with side-splitting comedy.
It also sees the return of the Grand’s much-loved Dame, Ian Adams for a fourth consecutive year and welcomes comedian and celebrity impressionist Aaron James for his Wolverhampton panto debut.
Press and PR manager at the Grand Theatre Scott Bird said: "Pantomime is a huge team effort every year that sees more people through the doors and more crew backstage than at any other time of the year.
"Everyone comes together to work as one big team and it is a truly magical time of year.
"Dick Whittington has been a particularly special pantomime as it coincided with the theatres 125th anniversary and it has been a wonderful way to celebrate."
