It’s coming close to Pantomime season.
Oh no it isn’t.
Oh yes it is - we have dates and even some cast members to prove it!
The festive tradition that still is a polarising idea for a night out for some, a fantastic family gathering for others, is slowly gaining momentum as we head into the winter season, with many theatres already advertising their entry into the Pantomime season for 2024.
While there’s no Tom Cruise or Charlize Theron being cast (yet), there is still a large television presence once more in the myriad of pantomime seasons taking place up and down the country - with many of the shows detailed already for sale through ATG Tickets.
So who caught our eye when we saw them announced for the theatre’s respective pantomimes on show this year? We’ve pulled together our list of famous faces set to tread the boards this year.
