Chris Stanton

The BAFTA award-winning actress will be at the Playhouse from 1st-4th August when she will be joined by Chris Stanton (Mr Flatley from CBBC’s M.I. High) as the Wizard of Oz himself. 

County Durham Producer, Reece Sibbald is hard at work creating a new-take on the much-loved classic. Boasting a brand-new soundtrack created by musical meastro Olly Ashmore, spectacular scenery, dazzling costumes and lots of panto-fun for all the family.

Sibbald says, “We’ve assembled a fantastic cast for this summer’s show at the Playhouse. It’s our first time in Whitley Bay after six year’s of producing around the UK – and I can’t wait to bring my biggest production yet to my native North East.”

Playing the iconic Cowardly Lion is local legend and panto-connoisseur Steve Arnott; who, this Christmas, will celebrate his tenth consecutive year as the resident villain in the Newcastle Theatre Royal’s Pantomime.
