It’s almost panto time!

There’s now just five days to go until the DZG-sponsored dress rehearsal of Sleeping Beauty at The Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton!   Oh yes there is!

We’ve given away more than one thousand free tickets to clubs, charities and schools across the region who will be coming to join us on Friday night.

These people will be our VIP guests for the family-fun pantomime which features funnyman Joe Pasquale as Muddles, former Coronation Street star, Lucy Evans as Princes Beauty and cabaret artist Ceri Dupree as Queen Passionella.

DZG CEO Peter Suddock, said: “We’re all looking forward to the performance next week which I’m sure will get us all in the Christmas spirit before visiting Santa in our own Sleeping Beauty-themed grotto in Dudley Castle.

“We’ll also have face painters and a few feathered friends at the theatre from 6pm. The birds have already been introduced to the show’s stars Joe Pasquale and Lucy Evans when DZG’s Birds Section Leader, Kellie Piper met them both earlier in the year, so make sure you come and say hello to them too.”
