EastEnders and Goodness Gracious Me star Nina Wadia will be sprinkling fairy dust over the YorkTheatre Royal pantomime this Christmas.

She will play Fairy Sugarsnap in this year’s family pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk from December 8 to January 7.
She joins the already-announced Robin Simpson, who returns as the Dame, and Scottish actor James Mackenzie, best known as the presenter of CBBC’s fantasy adventure game show Raven. He’ll play the villainous Luke Backinanger.
The team of writer Paul Hendy, director Juliet Forster and choreographer Hayley Del Harrison all return following the success of previous pantomimes Cinderella and All New Adventures of Peter Pan.

There are morning, afternoon and early evening performances including BSL Interpreted, Captioned, Dementia Friendly and Relaxed Performances. For more information visit yorktheatreroyal.co.uk or Box Office.
