Okay here we go - 5,6,7,8 the New Theatre pantomime this years stars our very own IAN ‘H’ WATKINS, one fifth of the muti-million, chart topping band STEPS.
Ian is the Man in the Mirror in SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS which starts its run this weekend (Saturday 10th) right through to Sunday 8th January 2023.
H will be joined by New Theatre pantomime favourites, rugby legend GARETH THOMAS and panto Dame extraordinaire MIKE DOYLE, who return after a triumphant season last Christmas appearing in Aladdin. The line-up also includes Coronation Street and Emmerdale star SIÂN REEVES, and comedy ventriloquist, BGT finalist STEVE HEWLETT.
South Wales Life went along to meet the cast during rehearsals in the centre of town and captured a bit of the panto action. We were pleased to see a lot of the team back again, after being cut short last year, although we couldn't believe it's been 12 months.
We talked everything from the brilliant stage at the New Theatre, to STEPS and Gareth's gold hot pants - those who have seen him in Panto will know what we're talking about. Think Kylie Minogue with rugby players legs and you'll get the gist.
Grab yourself a cuppa and mince pie, and enjoy our Snow White special.
