To celebrate Cinderella’s success we wanted to add more fun and excitement with a Panto Game that both adults and children alike can play – could this be as popular as the Candy Crush craze!

Families can take part in this new fantastic interactive game where just using the space bar and arrows or tilting your smartphone you control Cinderella’s Carriage jumping the pumpkin and collecting the elusive baubles.

This seasons highlight is the most enchanting rags-to-riches fairy tales of them all: Cinderella. With an all-star cast including JJ Hamblett (Union J) who will star as Prince Charming, Melanie Walters (Gavin and Stacey) as Fairy Godmother, Olivia Birchenough (Channel 5’s Milkshake) as the beautiful Cinderella and Jamie Morris and Tarot Joseph returning as the Ugly Sisters alongside panto favourite the incredible Steve Royle (BBC Radio Lancashire) who will be making his 15th annual appearance starring as ‘Buttons,’ it’s sure to be a Christmas to remember!

Marketing Manager Andrew Howard said,

‘Cinderella is already smashing records with the theatre being 40% ahead on sales compared to last year’s hit Aladdin! This shows that year-on-year we’re selecting the right pantomime and the right cast!

‘JJ Hamblett is already proving to be a huge hit with customers adding to the enormous following Steve Royle has regionally. Add to that the incredible talents of Melanie Walters and children’s presenter Olivia Birchenough. It’s a dream line-up.’

Magic & Sparkle

If you’ve still to book your tickets, HURRY! And don’t forget our Magic & Sparkle ticket – regular and new Panto-goers are being invited to buy an extra ticket (at a very special rate), which will then be donated to local groups in need.

Marketing Manager Andrew Howard said;

‘The Grand aims to be the theatre of choice for Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre and to offer opportunities to enjoy, participate and learn through the arts this year we will be launching our very special ‘Magic & Sparkle’ tickets.

‘We’d like our customers to think in these hard times of others that might not be as fortunate as themselves and how much of an experience they would be giving if they purchased one extra pantomime ticket at a very special rate that we could donate to people who need an experience they won’t ever forget.
