Producer Gary Telfer said: “We can’t wait to produce ‘Cinderella’ this year, it is without a doubt the most

popular and traditional pantomime of them all its every girl's dream to be like Cinderella. This year is going to be our biggest and best year ever and we are thrilled to have signed such a high-quality performer as Ray Quinn, Ray is extremely popular as well as being a fantastic performer he has performed in many musicals up and down the country including Greese in London’s West End”

Ray can currently be seen in a number 1 tour of the Wedding Singer, which is touring the UK and is at the Sunderland Empire this week (Read Wedding Singer preview LINK.). The Playhouse pantomime attracts more and more popular each year, in fact, most of the shows sold out last year. We are keen to continue building the reputation that we have built in Whitley Bay, which has grown dramatically over the last 5 years. Last year we catered for almost 5000 extra people than in 2015.
