The cast includes: Karina Hind as Beauty, Tom Senior as The Beast, Andrew Hayden-Smith as Danon, Olly Pike as DC, Mike Goble as D’Jon M’Stard, Richard Alan as Professor ‘Doc’ Eclaire and Dani Acors as The Enchantress.
The Capitol also boasts its first traditional pantomime dame in four years with Alex Wadham as Mademoiselle Renée Tasse de Thé.
Alex, who is currently playing Giles in The Mousetrap at The Capitol, said: “I find it a really welcoming theatre and a really welcoming public.

“I think I’m going to have a great time here for panto.”
Mike Goble, who played Buttons in last year’s Cinderella and helped write this year’s show, said he is thrilled to return to the venue for Christmas.
“The great thing about The Capitol’s panto is that because it’s in-house, the love and care that is taken to produce the panto means a lot to every single person that works in the building.”
