Principal casting announced for SLEEPING BEAUTY at Wolverhampton Grand
Full principal casting has been announced for Wolverhampton Grand Theatre’s spectacular pantomime, SLEEPING BEAUTY, which will run from 29 November 2025 – 4 January 2026.
Undoubtably Wolverhampton’s most glamorous panto villain in history, Danny Beard (RuPaul’s Drag Race) steps into villainous shoes to play Carabosse, with one of the UK’s best loved impressionists, comedy performers and actresses Debra Stephenson as Queen Bertha of Bilstonia, and Zak Douglas (G’WED) from Wolverhampton as The Herald, with Solomon Davy (Grease, West End), also from Wolverhampton, as the Prince, and Georgia Iudica-Davies (Bat Out Of Hell, UK tour) as Princess Beauty.
They join the previously announced Tam Ryan as Mickey Fortune and Ian Adams as Dame Mary Fortune, who once again reunite to write the pantomime and star in their 5th and 9th pantomimes respectively.
Creative Director of Wolverhampton Grand Theatre and producer of SLEEPING BEAUTY, Tim Colegate, said: “Once again, the Grand Theatre pantomime comes together with a magical recipe of cast members, bringing together national stars and championing local talent, too. There really is something for everyone in this line up, plus a brand-new set and costumes designed especially for the Grand, dazzling choreography, fabulous musical numbers and of course, comedy by the bucketload! We are very proud to produce this show in-house and are committed to giving our treasured audiences everything they have come to expect from a Wolverhampton Grand panto.”
