GEORDIE Shore heart throb Scotty Timlin is stepping into the swashbuckling Prince role in Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs which is coming to the White Rose Theatre in Leeds in December.
Also joining the cast as the wicked queen is Tupele Dorgu, know to soap fans as machinist Kelly Crabtee in Coronation Street. Radio Aire Breakfast Show presenters will play Royal Courtiers with Kelly Pegg playing Private Secretary to the Wicked Queen and Ant Arthur playing Lord Chamberlain. The presenters will appear separately at alternating performances.
King of the Diddy Men, Ken Dodd, makes an appearance via digital projection in the Wicked Queen’s Magic Mirror, ensuring her evil highness is reliably informed and Irish funny-man Jimmy Cricket is making a guest-star appearance.
A supporting cast of professional and juvenile dancers bring the moves, with the juveniles also doubling up as Snow White’s seven loyal dwarfs.
The role of Snow White is yet to be decided. Open auditions will be taking place throughout summer in West Yorkshire, in the hope of unearthing some fresh new talent to fill the title-role.
The White Rose Theatre will be taking over the grounds of the Tetley building in Leeds from December 8 to January 1, where a 1400 seat theatre will be erected. Mobile Structures will be responsible for the build and their CEO Colin Enos has a wealth of experience, with clients such as Sir Elton John. D
Guests will be greeted by Tinkerbell, Snow White’s pet Meerkat and other favourites from the land of fairytales. There will also be entertainment from close-up magicians, jugglers, stilt-walkers and face-painters as well as candy floss, popcorn and ice-cream on sale. Adults who like to indulge in the festive season will love the fully stocked bars, including a luxury champagne bar.
A large capacity car park also resides in the central Leeds location.
Tickets start from £11.50 however school group tickets are just £9 with teachers getting free entry. For more information call 0113 870 7769 or enquire online at www.whiterosetheatre.com
