Interested in Snow White, our Christmas panto this year? ❄

Time for a quick history lesson!

Snow White first appeared in 1812 (over 200 years ago!) as a folk tale published by the Brothers Grimm, alongside others such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

🍎 Many of the famous parts of the story, such as the Seven Dwarfs, the poisoned apple, the glass coffin and the magic mirror, originated in the 1812 version of the story! Look out for them during the panto this December…

Next up... Jamie Glasby as Prince Charming! 👑

Jamie is thrilled to be performing in Spalding because it means that his family and friends who have supported him throughout his career get to watch him do what he is passionate about. He is very grateful to have such a supportive group around him, not forgetting his agent Kris from YOU Management and to Polka Dot Pantomimes for giving him the amazing opportunity to be part of their shows.

He graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2021 with a Bachelors Degree in Musical Theatre. His theatre credits include: Topsy - Three, The Baker - Into the Woods, Gaston/Lumiaire - Beauty and the Beast, Lead Vocalist - St Elias Resort, Lead Vocalist and Singer/Dancer - Marella Discovery.

Jamie is very excited to be returning to the land of Pantomime, especially in a location that is so close to home. Born and raised in Peterborough, Jamie would always be involved in his local Pantomimes as one of the children in the ensemble, doing so for three years in Aladdin, Mother Goose and Cinderella. This is such a deep-rooted memory and is one of the main reasons that Jamie fell in love with the theatre and Panto in particular. To now be a fully trained and experienced professional and have the opportunity to reignite that childhood spark and joy and share it with the audience is something that he is very much looking forward to!

Introducing... AJ Adams as Muddles!

AJ is an award-winning* entertainer from the north east who is currently working as a performer with Disney Cruise Line onboard the Disney Fantasy! AJ appears as pirates, mad scientists, chefs and hosts alongside many of your favourite Disney characters whilst also travelling across the world.

AJ was Chester the Jester in Sleeping Beauty for Butlins in their year round pantomime in 2019 bringing joy and laughter to the holiday makers with audiences of 1500+ each night. He also played Mr Chips, a comedy singing “health and safety” mad inspector, trying to get bears off the beach in Paddington The Musical.

In Pantoland AJ played Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk at The Witham, Barnard Castle 2022. In the newspaper review he was described as, “brilliant! Full of energy and zest, his performance went down a storm…. and judging by how he was mobbed by the children at the end, the true critics agreed.” This year he is glad to not have to take another eye test before driving…!

This is AJ’s second time with Polka Dot Pantomimes following his appearance in Spalding last year as French Franc in Beauty and the Beast, and he can’t wait to bring Spalding more fun and laughter this Christmas! ❄️🎄
