WORTHING THEATRES & MUSEUM ANNOUNCES STAR-STUDDED CAST FOR CINDERELLA - THE PANTOMIME
Worthing Theatres & Museum is delighted to announce the cast and creative team for thisyear’s magical pantomime, Cinderella, running at the Pavilion Theatre from Thursday 4
December 2025 - Sunday 4 January 2026. Following the runaway success of last year’s
Robin Hood, bookings for Cinderella are hotfooting their way to the ball.
Heading up the cast is Puja Panchkoty, well-known to families across the UK for her role as
Jen in the BAFTA-winning CBeebies series Andy’s Adventures. Making her Worthing
pantomime debut, Puja brings warmth, charisma and star quality to the title role, leading the
cast to get a magical festive experience for audiences of all ages.
Returning after their crowd-pleasing performances in Robin Hood the Pantomime are Paul
Giddings and Jannine Pardo. Paul, whose credits span theatre and television, will once
again double as performer and director, playing the ever-sparkling Fairy Fou Fou. Janine
steps into the villainous role of the Wicked Baroness, guaranteed to get audiences booing
and hissing in true panto style.
They are joined by a stellar cast including Harry Hodge as Prince Charming, Jessica
Spalis and Katherine Kotz as the outrageous Hardup Sisters, Richard Edwards as
Dandini and the inimitable Dizzy as the loveable Buttons.
Behind the scenes, the creative team reunites following last year’s success: Paul Giddings
as director, Danielle Drayton as assistant director and choreographer, and Harry Wells as
musical director. Together, they promise another show filled with spectacular dance
numbers: show-stopping songs, laugh-out-loud comedy and unforgettable magic.
Amanda O’Reilly, CEO and Artistic Director of WTM said: “Our annual pantomime is the
highlight of the festive season for families across the region. We are thrilled to welcome Puja
Panchkoty to the Pavilion stage, alongside returning favourites Paul Giddings and Jannine
Pardo. With such a fantastic cast and creative team, this year’s production of Cinderella will
be bigger, bolder and more magical than ever.”
Paul Holman, Founder and CEO of PHA said:”
“We’re absolutely delighted to be bringing Cinderella to the Pavilion Theatre this Christmas.
It’s the ultimate rags-to-riches fairytale, filled with spectacular costumes, dazzling sets, and
all the laughter, music and magic that make pantomime so special. Worthing audiences are
always incredible, and we can’t wait to share this festive adventure with them.”
Tickets for Cinderella are already selling quickly. Book early to secure the best seats to the
ball.
