Well this is getting out of hand… Demand for tickets to the infamous adults only night at Sevenoaks Panto is so high, we're now having to do it twice. Definitely not for the easily offended, this grown up performance delivers all of spectacle, but with lots of swearing. Tickets for both performances are expected to sell fast, so book your tickets now for the perfect Christmas party / grown up family outing / works do / date night / loner night. It's Silly Billy, like you've never seen him before.
West End Stars Join Sevenoaks Panto
The cast of this year's pantomime at The Stag has now been announced. Once again, joining everyone's favourite comic and dame, some of the best talent of the West End will be spending Christmas in Sevenoaks.
Courtney Stapleton, best known as one of the original Queens in the West End smash hit musical Six, will play the Wicked Queen in Snow White. Courtney also played Belle in the UK tour of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Eponine in Les Miserables, as well as roles in Mamma Mia, Bat Out Of Hell, Dear Evan Hanson and Love Never Dies. Courtney will joint the show direct from the new Leicester Curve production of Super You. Courtney is also an Instagram ‘van life' legend, and recently appeared on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.
Returning for her third panto season in Sevenoaks, Billie Hardy (The Time Travellers Wife, Chicago, Bat Out Of Hell) will play Snow White. Billie is a Sevenoaks Panto regular, having previous played the title role in Alice In Wonderland, and Wendy in Peter Pan, both at the Stag Theatre.
Fellow West End performer Michael Levi, who played Bob Crewe in the West End production of Jersey Boys, as well as appearing in Kinky Boots and Walk Like A Man, will also join the cast to play the Prince.
Courtney, Billie, and Michael will be joining the much loved panto duo of Ant Payne as Silly Billy, and Jamie Alexander Wilson as Dame Elaine Staige, who also writes and directs.
