Cast members of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs got together at Swallows leisure centre ahead of this year’s star studded pantomime.

Starring Joshua Pascoe, best known for his role as Ben Mitchell in EastEnders, musical theatre star Kate Greenwood, and Sheppey actor Robert Brendan, the show will run from December 16 to December 24.

Joshua, 21, is to be taking on the role of Muddles: “I’ve been in Sittingbourne a few times when I was younger but I’ve never worked down here and I’m looking forward to it.

“It’s a whole new script written this year, and Snow White is one of the top pantos out there.”

Joshua starred in EastEnders for two years after landing the role of Phil Mitchell’s son Ben in 2010 but has more recently turned his attention to the stage.

“It’s so different to the TV, a lot more can go wrong,” he said.

“There’s a lot of satisfaction when it goes right though.”

Joshua Brendan, from Sheerness, will play the charming Prince Lorenzo.

The 34-year-old is happy to be returning to home turf after 10 years performing in other parts of the world.

“I’m a local chap. I’ve not done panto for about five years and it’ll be nice to return to near enough my hometown,” he said.

Robert has spent years on cruise ships across the world and as part of the 12 Tenors vocal group.

There will also be a cameo from Steven Arnold, of Coronation Street fame, who will star as the voice and image of the man in the mirror.

Also at the leisure centre was 18-year-old Bessie McMillan, understudy for Snow White, who is currently fitting in rehearsals around university.

The main part will be played by Kate Greenwood.

The pantomime will also star performers from the Kent School of Dance and Victoria Roberts as the wicked queen.

Rehearsals begin on November 20, with Trio Entertainment’s sixth panto getting under way in December.

Tickets are available from sittingbournepanto.co.uk starting at £7.50.
