Rob McVeigh first found stardom in 2007, when he finished in 6^th place having appeared on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, talent themed show ‘Any Dream Will Do’. Originally a builder by trade, McVeigh was lovingly referred to as ‘Rob the Builder’ throughout the series that sought to find a new ‘Joseph’ for the West End Production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream coat. Since his television appearances Rob has forged an impressive career for himself on stage and has gained musical accolades performing in the likes of Annie as Bert Healey, and in a UK tour of The Eva Cassidy Story. High baritone, Rob has also built up an impressive pantomime CV and has played a variety of roles including the lead in Aladdin and Prince Charming in Cinderella.

Charlotte Chinn

Charlotte has attained many impressive roles on the stage to date, including playing Cosette in Les Miserables at The Palace Theatre, London and Olivia in Twelfth Night for The Principal Theatre Company.

Rebecca Shorrocks

Rebecca Shorrocks is the final cast member to announce for this year’s production. Another star returning to the venue by popular demand, Rebecca played both Le Shue and The Candlestick in last year’s pantomime to an array of rave reviews.

The Playhouse is ecstatic to once again, welcome Rebecca back to the venue for her role as Oddjob in 2015.
