"I am delighted to be working again with Britt after a very enjoyable panto season together a few years back, and over the moon that Dominic will be making his pantomime debut in my production of Cinderella. I know he is very excited about the project and I can't wait to put his Strictly Come Dancing talents to use! I am certain he will make a perfect Buttons! The Shaw Theatre is a wonderful venue, and I am overjoyed to be able to bring another pantomime to London!"
