Cinderella shall go to the ball in Leatherhead this Christmas - oh yes she will.

This year's Christmas panto at the town's theatre will feature an array of favourite kids stars, including Wendy Abrahams and Wink Taylor, from ITV’s Sooty Show, who will be playing the roles of Cinderella and Baron Hardup, as well as their newest children’s character Theo the Mouse.

Other stars will include Coronation Street actress Angela Webb, as the Fairy Godmother, and Phil Hoyles and David Pibworth as the Ugly Sisters.

Webb says: "I’ve played everything from the Wicked Queen to the Principle Boy in panto, but what better part than to be the one who waves her wand and gets Cinderella to the ball? I can’t wait."

Theatre Manager Sheila Francis says she was pleased with feedback from audiences who claimed last year’s production of Aladdin was Surrey’s best value pantomime and promises the same value for money this year.

She says: "We have some fantastic rates for schools and groups so there’s no need to miss out on your chance to go to the ball."
