ROLL UP, ROLL UP TO SEE PANTO JOIN THE CIRCUS!
BRENDAN COLE TO LEAD THE CAST OF GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS
With rehearsals already underway for this year’s production of Sleeping Beauty starring Lee Mead and Su Pollard, which opens at Darlington Hippodrome on Friday 6 December, the venue has today announced that former Strictly Come Dancing professional and Dancing on Ice finalist Brendan Cole will lead the cast of their 2025 pantomime, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Brendan Cole, who will be taking on the role of the Evil Ringmaster, appeared on every season of Strictly Come Dancing since it began in 2004 up until 2017. In 2022, Brendan starred in ITV’s Saturday night entertainment programme Dancing on Ice where he was one of the finalists. As a dancer, producer and entertainer, Brendan has staged his own song and dance show on eleven nationwide tours of the UK. Now an international phenomenon, Brendan was a member of the judging panel of Dancing with the Stars in New Zealand for four years.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a fantastic circus-themed panto, which will see Darlington Hippodrome transformed into a sensational circus, where everything is possible, and anything could (and will) happen. This festive extravaganza is packed with riotous comedy, extraordinary special effects, hair-raising stunts and international circus acts.
Tickets are on sale from Friday 6 December 2024 for Goldilocks and the Three Bears which runs from Friday 5 December to Wednesday 31 December 2025, with priority booking open to Darlington Hippodrome Members from Friday 29 November. Don’t forget that tickets for this year’s panto, Sleeping Beauty, are also on sale now.
