You know our princess already and now we have our prince. Christopher Pym will return to The Brindley as Prince Harry in our #BrindleyPanto, Sleeping Beauty.

He will play alongside Rebecca Lake, Princess Aurora. The two paired up last year in Cinderella at the multi-award winning Halton Borough Council theatre

Actor/model Christopher Pym, originally from Warrington, but working in London after hitting national fame after BBC1’s search for a Joseph, Any Dream Will Do, said he was thrilled to be back.

Christopher trained in Musical Theatre at Guildford School of Acting, playing roles including Seymour in The Little Shop of Horrors, Guy in Howard Goodall’s Girlfriends and Herb Lee in My Favourite Year.

He beat more than 10,000 hopefuls to a spot at ‘Joseph School’ on the hit TV show and since then he has gone on to work in professional theatre around the world on various different shows.

As well as acting Christopher is also a commercial model and has worked on various campaigns for television and print and worked with clients including Royal Mail, McDonalds, Esports, New Era, Tescos, Cancer Research, Pro Star, Halfords and many more.

He said: “I am really looking forward to appearing at The Brindley again. This venue has an amazing panto reputation and I am sure this will continue this year. I am really happy to be back performing in Cheshire, surrounded by all my friends and family.”
