“Oh no it isn’t. OH YES IT IS!”

Yes, it’s that time of year again and with Christmas being only 76 days away, this year’s New Wimbledon Theatre pantomime has been chosen.

The Theatre is gearing up with First Family Entertainment to produce another show-stopping pantomime with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Families of all ages will be treated to this classic fairytale in which a baurtiful young princess, on the run from a wicked Queen, finds seven little friends keep her safe from the Queen’s murderous attempts.

Priscilla Presley, wife of the late King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley, will be making her pantomime and London stage debut as the Wicked Queen.

Mrs Presley is best known for co-starring with Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun Series and for her role as Jenna Wade in Dallas, the most successful primetime soap opera of its time.

She said she was delighted to be making her debut in the pantomime.

“I have heard such wonderful things about British pantomime; the script is hilarious, my costume is sensational and I can’t wait to get started and give the people of London my Wicked Queen!

“What a wonderful honour to be spending Christmas in such a beautiful city and be a part of this festive family tradition”.

Ms Presley will be joined by Warwick Davis, who will play Prof, the chief dwarf, and Jarred Christmas, starring as Herman the Henchman.

Mr Davis is returning to New Wimbledon Theatre after five years and is most known for his roles in Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi and the Harry Potter films whilst Mr Christmas is an award winning comedian, appearing in Let’s Dance for Comic Relief, Mock the Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

Kevin Wood, Chief Executive for First Family Entertainment said: “This show is going to be the best yet!”

Will Snow White meet her Handsome Prince and save the day?

With the promise of spectacular sets, sparkling costumes, sensational songs, dazzling dance routines and bags of audience participation we can’t wait to find out!

The show will run from Friday December 7 2012 – Sunday January 13 2013.

Tickets range from £10 – £29.50 with premium seats also available.
