Our male principal dancer, Jamie Luke, will be ‘STEPS’ing out in our panto, which stars Crissy Rock, at The Brindley, after roles with H from the pop band, and Disneyland Paris.
Agile Jamie from Great Grimsby,has been dancing since the age of 14 where he began to go to local communities and different dance schools.
He said this is where he learnt his passion was for performing art, which has never left him.
Jamie was lucky enough to study at SLP Performing Arts College for four years learning Musical Theatre. While studying he was able to perform in many pantomimes, such as Cinderella.
Through his performing, Jamie has been lucky enough to meet and perform with many different talents over the last couple of years including, H from Steps and Jez Edwards from CBBC.
Once graduating from SLP, he was lucky enough to be contracted to work at the magical Disneyland Paris where he has been for the last two years.
He said: “Having returned to the UK, I amreally looking forward to the next adventure. I hope you all enjoy this fantastic production of Sleeping Beauty at this great venue.”
I’m A Celebrity and Benidorm star Crissy, is a Scouse legend, with a host of roles in her CV, which is longer than the queues to see The Beatles in the Cavern Club back in the day!
They join Rebecca Lake, Christopher Pym, local theatre star, Andrew Curphey and veteran dame Robert Squire , in the Brindley production.
Actress/singer Charlie Griffiths has also joined the cast. You may just recognise her from last year when she put in a top-notch performance as Fairy Flustered – one of the most popular characters in the show.
We also have a star of CITV. You may also recognise theatre stalwart Nick Wymer from parts in Father Ted, Paul Merton The Series and The Bill.
The all-rounder, who will play our King, has also appeared in ads for Weetabix and a Bollywood blockbuster as well as numerous TV shows and theatre productions (even a stint in a show in Beirut!)
SLEEPING BEAUTY presented by Polka Dot Pantomimes runs from 11 December – 14 January (See website for all show dates and times)
