That is not. Even. Funny. (Kimberley) It's going to be Kimberley Walsh as Cinders isn't it? Barbara Windsor would be my guess as Fairy Godmother with Mel & Sue as the Ugly Sisters.

With her criminal gangland connections, and the EastEnders heritage, Barbara Windsor would be an authentic Fairy Godfather.
Panto should be fun so she should be boycotted and protested against if she were in it.

Lee Mead yikes. All the personality of a vegetable. A bit better than a plank of wood like Donovan tho. This seems to be like Elf , or War of the World's, or Alladin, something to just add to the avoid list when you see the leads cast.

I think that new cast members will either be announced tomorrow in the day or tomorrow night.

This does not end to Jan 16th. I do wonder why there been a gap anyway in the casting. I cant see anyone being announced for a few more days. Doubt anyone next Thursday night being the referendum night.

Doubt anyone next Thursday night being the referendum night. It doesnt but lets face it the christmas and new year bit is the important bit. If they were that desperate for a massive name im sure theyd go for them for 4 weeks out of the 5 if it made box office sense

I wouldn't get too excited. If you look at her list of dates played (all 199!) performances from 2013 to now in her Vegas residency, she usually performs around 20/30 shows and then takes about 5-6 weeks off before going back. So I very much doubt it is a thing that will happen, her in Cinderella.
Let us not forget, Britney actually did tread the boards of Off-Broadway back in 1992/1993, as Understudy to Laura Bell Bundy in the musical Ruthless!

Ruthless, now THAT'S a musical I desperately want to see. I have been completely and utterly obsessed (I mean *obsessed*) with the cast recording for YEARS. Somewhere like Jermyn Street would be perfect.

I wasnt getting excited. Though the producers of Cinderella did at one stage suggest theyd settle for a star name doing a 5 minute cameo each show. Im sure Britney could manage that in her time off in a city she loves

Be a bit strange to have the cindrella barely appear. A big star cameo would suit the fairygodmother role more. (Who is mentioned right at the top of leaflets which could be a hint someone big is playing that role.

I still need to catch her Vegas show which hopefully I can but she is only currently doing it until, if she sticks to her two year extension, December 2017.
... I have a hope she will tour it after though!

I wonder who it will be. Lol at the ugly sisters. I have a vision a while ago Anne Widercombe would be the fairy godmother if they want a real bonkers star. She was in a pantos a few years ago

Is Cinderella the one where she has to kiss the toad to make a prince? Nigel Farage is a shoo in for the toad

I've heard that the first anyone at RU knew about Britters was that Monday morning when someone in the office asked if they'd read the Sunday Mirror. Make of that what you will. Have you heard any possible date for the rest to be announced or who they may be.
