Lucy, 24, who teaches dance and PE at St Joseph’s School, Halifax, stars as Dick Whittington.

She said: “I have been part of Upstagers for three years, however this is my first year as principal boy.

“It’s very exciting playing this important role and also a lot of fun working with such a wonderful team.”

Laura, 18, who takes on the role of Alice, principal girl, is looking forward to the challenge after previously appearing as a senior dancer in other Upstagers’ pantos.

“This is my second featured role with the Upstagers the other being Gabriella in High School Musical,” said Laura.

Laura is currently taking a gap year from her studies and hopes to pursue a career in musical theatre.
