Tickets selling fast for big Brighton panto

Organisers E3 Production - based in Hove - says this year's Cinderella will be 'the biggest and certainly our most spectacular panto to date.'

Stars include drag icon Miss Jason (Jason Sutton) as one of the wicked stepsisters, and BBC TV and radio presenter Allison Ferns.

Executive Producer David Hill said: "We are thrilled to have been invited back to The Hilton where we started our Brighton Family Panto journey back in 2017. Our loyal audience can expect jaw-dropping stage sets, dazzling costumes and some very clever special effects. Cinderella is the most magical story of them all and the perfect Christmas show for the entire family."

The pantomime is making a welcome return to The Hilton and hotel General Manager Rekha Sohun said: "We are delighted to host the 2023 production of Cinderella. It is a fantastic family pantomime and always such a tremendous success with our guests and the local Brighton and Hove community."

There are 20 performances with morning, afternoon, and evening shows. Tickets start from as little as £10. The official Charity Partner is The Focus Foundation, and The Sussex Beacon is the Adult Show Charity Partner, running on December 28 at 8pm.

David said: "I am proud that we have put together such a stellar cast. Miss Jason really is the best drag queen in the land, while Allison Ferns is now a regular on both BBC radio and TV. We have theatre and West End performers who will be just as brilliant - it really is going to be a great panto season. Oh yes it is!"

Other sponsors include: Howdens Insurance, Invictus Wealth Consultants, Theatre By Design, Twelve A Studios, Brighton Cacao Company and Brighton Half Marathon.
