Mirror, mirror, on the wall - who has the wickedest queen of them all…Bournemouth Pavilion of course!
We are delighted to announce that the legendary Su Pollard will be playing the role of Wicked Queen in this year’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Joining Noel Brodie and Jamie Steen in a cast line up set to welcome in the festive season, get ready for traditional pantomime excitement and chaos with a sprinkling of Su Pollard mayhem!
Fresh from trekking across Portugal with six other celebrities for the BBC’s Pilgrimage series, and recently the UK Pantomime Association’s recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award, Su will be bringing her own brand of wicked humour to the production.
She joins the previously announced Noel Brodie, who is returning for his 9th hilarious season and this year, playing the role of Muddles. Also returning as Dame extraordinaire will be Jamie Steen, who together with Noel had Bournemouth Pavilion rocking with laughter during last year’s fantastic production of Beauty & the Beast.
With a beautiful princess, a jealous Wicked Queen, seven fabulous dwarfs, a naughty nurse, and a hilarious jester - not forgetting a poisoned apple and a magic mirror, it’s absolutely not to be missed!
Producer Martin Dodd said, “We are absolutely delighted that Su will be bringing her own brand of madness and mayhem to this year’s production. She is a force of nature and an absolute pleasure to work with. Audiences are guaranteed a laugh a minute, but don’t forget to boo her!”
Bournemouth Pavilion is run by registered charity BH Live, in partnership with BCP Council. Steve Turner, BH Live’s Associate Director of Venues added: “It’s great to be welcoming Su back to the
Bournemouth’s Pavilion panto, we can’t wait to see what fantastic festive fun she brings to the production!”
An apple a day keeps the doctor away but there’s an exception to every rule... so watch out as this Wicked Queen conjures her evil plans for 2023. Join Snow White for an adventure full of laughter, song and seven dwarfs, in this traditional fairy tale with a magical twist.
