As this year’s panto Cinderella continues in Wolverhampton, the Grand Theatre is delighted to announce that next year it will be presenting Aladdin, starring panto legend Christopher Biggins as Widow Twankey.
From the company behind this year’s Cinderella, Aladdin will be another sensational combination of comedy, music and stunning special effects.
Biggins first came to our screens as regular character Lukewarm in the popular TV comedy Porridge with Ronnie Barker. He then went on to perform in the cult film The Rocky Horror Show, a role that led him to perform as the narrator several times in the stage version. In 2007 he was crowned “King of The Jungle” by winning the popular ITV show I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. This year he appeared on Channel 4’s popular programme Come Dine With Me along with Philip Olivier, with his dinner party crowned overall winner. Biggins has appeared in pantomime for nearly forty years and is looking forward to performing at The Grand:
“I am delighted to confirm that next year I will be treading the boards (and donning Widow Twankey’s frocks) in Wolverhampton!
This won’t be my first performance at the Grand, but it is my first pantomime there so I’m incredibly excited to be performing in one of the country’s biggest and best-loved venues.”
