Theatre managers are celebrating as their professional panto has proved a hit with audiences.

Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone's panto Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, is being staged by PHA Associates, and stars Collabro star Thomas Redgrave.

Elizabeth Smith, theatre director, said: “It is an absolute joy to watch the faces of young and old as they are leaving, full of laughter and smiles and that’s more than we could have hoped for.

"This has been our most successful pantomime to date. What a year we have had, from bringing the West End to Folkestone twice with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Avenue Q, to having Sir Ian McLellan pay us a visit with his acclaimed one man show in celebration of his 80th birthday and to now bring West End quality performances from our cast during our panto run."

And she revealed: "It is an exciting time here at Leas Cliff Hall with so many special and wonderful things planned for 2020 including the return of PHA associates in December who will be delighting Folkestone with the most loved pantomime of all Cinderella which will be on sale soon.”

This year's panto runs until Tuesday, December 31. To book tickets, visit atgtickets.com/folkestone or call the box office on 0844 871 3015.
