Mirror, Mirror on the wall… What’s the greatest panto of them all? Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Blackpool’s Grand of course… Pantomime producers UK Productions Ltd are hard at work getting the production ready for this years upcoming Christmas extravaganza Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. It’s an all year round job creating the magic and involves a dedicated team of designers, carpenters, scenic artists, costume makers and metal workers to make the magic happen

Martin Dodd for UK Productions in association with Blackpool Grand Theatre will present Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs this year.

Excitement is building as the theatre star name is soon to be announced and will join Blackpool panto legend Steve Royle (BBC Radio Lancashire). This year will be Royle’s 18th appearance at Blackpool Grand Theatre, the home of traditional pantomime. Joining the cast once again will be the incredible dancers from the Barbara Jackson Theatre Arts Centre with choreography by Katie Hill.

His many TV appearances have included Phoenix Nights, Max & Paddy, Behind The Scene, That’s Entertainment, Stand-up Britain, Give Your Mate A Break, The Afternoon Show, Talk Of The North, The Things You Do For Love, and despite being one of the North West’s healthiest males (according to Steve!), a medical insurance commercial for Medicash.
