This Year's Panto is Snow White, The Deliciously Dopey Family Musical


I know we've only just started the new school year, but is it too early to start thinking about Christmas? Because Ross Petty Productions has already announced the lineup for the annual holiday pantomime, this year titled Snow White, The Deliciously Dopey Family Musical.

The production stars Canadian Idol winner Melissa O’Neil (Belle in the 2010 Beauty and the Beast) as Snow White, with Graham Abbey (The Border) – not as Prince Charming, but "super spy 007" in what promises to be a Shrek-style fairytale mashup, without dwarves, but with other famous storybook characters like the Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and Pinocchio. Ross Petty once again takes on the villain's role as Snow White’s evil stepmother, and Eddie Glen, a panto favourite, is his comic foil.

Snow White, The Deliciously Dopey Family Musical runs from November 23 to January 5 at the Elgin Theatre. For tickets, contact Ross Petty Productions.
