South London is spoilt for choice with a host of festive pantomimes

By Paloma Lacy

London is spoilt for choice this festive season, with a good number of pantomimes to choose from.

Here’s a quick look at what South London has to offer.

Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs is coming to Fairfield Halls in Croydon.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? EastEnders fans might say Kellie Shirley.

The local girl returns to Croydon to play the horrible stepmother, the Wicked Queen. 

In this rags-to-riches classic, Snow White, played by Mia Overfield, manages, with the help of her madcap friend Muddles, to meet a handsome Prince and make her dreams come true.

With a beautiful princess, a jealous Wicked Queen, seven bumbling dwarfs, a naughty nurse, a hilarious jester and not forgetting the all-important poisoned apple and a magic mirror, it’s a heck of a tale. 

Brimming with great songs, stunning dance routines and plenty of laughter, this is a truly magical treat for all the family. 

The cast also includes: Jamie Steen, Charlie Guest and Callum Connelly.
