The London Palladium has unveiled additional cast members for its pantomime Cinderella, with Hope Dawe cast as Cinderella and Dex Lee taking on the role of Prince Charming. Both actors will make their debut appearances in the Palladium pantomime.

The comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders will star as the Ugly Sisters, joining returning favourites Julian Clary, Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers, and Rob Madge. Clary will reprise his role as the Fairy Godfather, rounding out the principal cast.

Rob Madge also returns, maintaining the continuity and established ensemble that audiences have come to recognise over the past decade of Palladium pantomimes.

Further information on the production’s dates, booking details, and additional casting was released alongside this announcement, though specific dates have yet to be confirmed.
