Maidstone is home to top panto – oh, yes it is!


The Hazlitt Theatre’s panto tickets may have only been on sale for a few months but already they’re selling fast. Cinderella, which stars nation’s favourite Rustie Lee as the Fairy Godmother and former EastEnders actor Stefan Booth (pictured), is proving a big hit with the county town’s panto lovers. The festive fun is directed by


panto veteran Martin Cleverley, who is “delighted” to have secured a cast of big names and versatile and talented actors for the seasonal stage production. Ugly Sisters of No Mercy are to be


played by Stephen Richards and Adam Borzone. Adam is returning to the Hazlitt after a


successful run in last Christmas’s panto, Sleeping Beauty, which starred Louisa Lytton from EastEnders. Stephen is a sought-after panto “sister” and he said: “Everyone in


Maidstone has been so lovely and I like the traditional theatre venue. “The Ugly Sisters are there


to cause carnage. I love being a villain and a dame.” For Adam it is a return to his old stomping ground. “It was so much fun so when


I was asked back, I jumped at the chance,” he said. “The audience was great, and


for many children it is their first time in the theatre and


hopefully will encourage them to come back over the years.” “It can be gruelling with three shows


on some days. so you need something to help you through – and the audience


here is


amazing and provides that boost.” Mr


Cleverley added: “We have a strong cast, including familiar faces Craig Anderson who played Jingles last year and Matthew Pennington who will be Dandini.”


Cinderella runs from December 1 to 31 2017. Tickets are available on 01622 758611 or from the website www.HazlittTheatre.com
