Final preparations for the Panto, led by the creative team of **Quintin Young** and **Andrew Stark** are well under way, and Musical Director **Joe Paxton** will be joining the company for the entire run. Joe teaches music at the University of Sussex where he is studying for a PhD researching musical communication and interpretation in ensemble performance and he is Music Director at St John’s Burgess Hill and conducts the Brighton Early Music Festival Community Choir.

Currently the all-star cast for *Sinderfella* are appearing in Panto and cabaret throughout the UK and will assemble in Brighton in mid January to commence rehearsals for their opening night on Thursday, February 4.

**Allan Jay** is playing Prince Lorenzo in *Snow White,* Glasgow. **Dave Lynn** is playing one of those nasty step sisters in *Cinderella* with skating legends, Torvill and Dean at the Opera House, Manchester and he will also be appearing in the Christmas edition of *Birds of a Feather* on ITV. **Miss Jason** is playing to rave reviews: *“Best Panto Dame I have ever seen”* as Sarah the Cook with X-Factor winner **Sam Bailey** in *Dick Wittington,* Aylesbury. **Lola Lasagna** is playing Widow Twankey in *Aladdin,* Leeds and Chris Howard is playing Slippery Sid in *Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs,* Skegness.

No Brighton production would be complete without an appearance at some point from that legendary Brighton institution **Maisie Trollette.** who will be appearing *as if by magic* at each performance.

Add to that the talents of **Davina Sparkle**, **Jason Lee** and **Cassidy Connors** who are appearing nightly in cabaret throughout the UK and you have the ingredients for a fabulous. X-rated, high performance show.
