Star casting announced for Panto 2025
Our wishes have come true with a star cast announcement for this year’s Panto! Oh yes they have!
Sheffield Theatres and Evolution Productions are delighted to announce that Strictly Come Dancing superstar Kevin Clifton will be playing Ivan Tochacha and CBeebies’ favourite Evie Pickerill will play the Spirit of the Ring!
Kevin and Evie join Sheffield’s legendary Dame Damian Williams, with further exciting casting to be announced later in the year!
Once again, the show will be written and directed by Paul Hendy (The Last Laugh, Beauty and the Beast) and produced by the award winning Evolution Productions, the same team behind last year’s smash-hit panto Snow White, winner of the Best Pantomime 2024 at the UK Pantomime Awards.
As always, the Lyceum Panto promises to be top-quality family entertainment packed with theatrical thrills, stunning costumes, lavish sets, fabulous music and all the hilarious, laugh out loud jokes.
Damian Williams is celebrating his eighteenth year as Sheffield Theatres’ Dame, whilst Kevin Clifton makes his Sheffield pantomime debut having performed at the Lyceum in touring productions of Chicago and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. Evie Pickerill makes her Sheffield Theatres debut with Aladdin.
Tickets are available here.
