Away from the stage, he also enjoys a hugely successful parallel career as an international fashion model. Richard Gauntlett is very excited about the casting news and is promising a show for all ages to enjoy. He said: “Cinderella has to be my favourite pantomime and I am very excited about what is in store. It will be very traditional, but with a new set and some added extras. I can’t divulge any more at the moment.” He is also thrilled to be back and have the opportunity to work with both Joe and David. “I have known Joe for a very long time and he is one of the best comic actors I have ever seen. He is a young guy who has comedy in his DNA. The ability to entertain has definitely not skipped a generation with Joe. He is a very funny and lovely man,” said Richard. “He is very excited to be working here this Christmas and I have also had a phone call from his old man to say it is good news.” Behind the scenes, the hard work is also continuing to bring in more cast-members and get the production ready for Christmas. Richard said: “We are still casting and there are more people to announce, but this first announcement is wonderful news. Cinderella is going to be a very funny panto.” Show Information: Cinderella, Tuesday 17 December 2019 - Sunday 19 January 2020. Tickets £10-£25. Discounts for Over-60s, Under-18s, Groups and Schools.
