Snow mystery who the panto villain is
MIRROR, mirror, on the wall, who is the biggest panto villain of them all?
Well Toyah Wilcox will be giving all the other baddies a run for their money in Sheffield Lyceum's Christmas pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with her gritty portrayal of the Wicked Queen.
This is the third production to be produced by Sheffield Theatres with Evolution Productions after the phenomenal success of Cinderella and Aladdin.
Snow White is the traditional tale of a young girl escaping her wicked stepmother.
She sets off on an adventure in the forest full of dwarfs, magic mirrors, poisoned apples, singing, dancing, audience participation and all the ingredients of a traditional pantomime.
Toyah's chart breakthrough was with the song It's a Mystery which reached number 4 in 1981. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Toyah has had 13 top 40 singles, recorded 20 albums, appeared in more than 40 stage plays, and made 10 feature films. She has also performed in hundreds of TV programmes from Casualty to Songs of Praise.
Joining Toyah is Sheffield's own Toby Foster, who plays Muddles, and Damian Williams, as Dame Nurse Nellie.
Producer and director Paul Hendy is best known as a television presenter, hosting shows like Wheel of Fortune and Don't Try This At Home.
He said: "We are so excited about working with Sheffield Theatres again. Audiences over the past two years have been just fantastic.
"Our aim is to make this pantomime the best in Yorkshire but also the best pantomime in the country."
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs comes to Sheffield Lyceum Theatre from Friday, December 11 to Sunday, January 10.
