Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn is set to star in this year’s panto at Malvern Theatres.

She will take on the role of Fairy Godmother in Cinderella, which runs from December 14 to January 7.

It’ll be a return to Malvern Theatres for McGlynn, who made her professional stage play debut in the UK tour of Peter James’ Wish You Were Dead earlier this year.

Cinderella will also star Malvern funny man Mark James as Buttons, Jamie Morris and Tarot Joseph as the Ugly Sisters and Bethan Jacks as Cinderella.

Shetland ponies will also take to the stage and are sure to delight young theatre-goers.

Tickets are on sale now via malvern-theatres.co.uk, including for a relaxed performance on Friday, January 5 for people who find regular theatre settings challenging.
