Earlier this year, Bradford Theatres revealed the return of pantomime legend Billy Pearce,who will lead the star-studded line up of Yorkshire’s biggest panto playing the iconic role of Buttons. He will be joined by Emmerdale star Samantha Giles as The Wicked Stepmother and celebrity baker and Strictly Come Dancing finalist John Whaite as Dandini.
Bradford Theatres are delighted to announce that they will be joined by Dale Mathurin as Prince Charming, and Yorkshire local Sarah Pearson (who hails from Huddersfield) in the title role of Cinderella.
Dale Mathurin has performed extensively with the RSC taking him around the UK, USA, and China, and has starred as The Prince in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Bristol Hippodrome and Milton Keynes Theatre for the past two seasons with Crossroads Pantomimes.
Sarah Pearson is a 2022 graduate from The Arden School of Theatre. Her most recent credits include Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder (Edinburgh Fringe, Bristol Old Vic, and Manchester Home), the farewell celebration Encore and pantomime Robin Hood at the Oldham Coliseum, and Graham Lappins Climb Way Up at Hope Mill Theatre, for which she has recently recorded the studio album.
Sarah said:
“It’s a dream come true to be playing Cinderella at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford this Christmas. Being from West Yorkshire myself, the Alhambra is somewhere I have visited frequently since I was little! I'm so excited to bring some magic to the families of Bradford and beyond this festive season, and I look forward to working with the incredible cast.”
Cinderella will be produced by the world’s biggest pantomime producer and the team behind the 2022 production of Jack and the Beanstalk, Crossroads Pantomimes. The production will be packed full of the magical ingredients Bradford audiences have come to expect from their annual festive production: laugh-out-loud comedy, stunning scenery, beautiful costumes and plenty of boos and hisses.
