I recently attended the media day for the North East Adult Pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Drag Queens, and to say the least, it didn’t disappoint. 

Throughout my time there, the company performed an extract from the show, and a musical number; Celebration. They were only 4 rehearsals in at the time, so were reading off of scripts, but it was clear that the show was going to be an incredible show. I also spent time with the cast asking questions about the show and here were some of the responses: 

David Potts (Winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2024) – Dirty David the Huntsman – described his character as ‘very sassy and a bit of a baddie’, and explained that he had always played a good character so he was enjoying ‘a bit of a bad bitch for once’. I asked him how he had found the rehearsal process so far, as there were only 4 rehearsals in at the time, and he said ‘ It has been so much fun, we’ve all been screaming, we’ve all been laughing. It’s all just coming together so nicely already, it’s brilliant.’ 

I also asked every cast member to sum up the show in one word. It was so interesting to see what everyone said: 

-spicy 

-naughty 

-slay 

-filthy 

-disgusting 

-vile 

-saucy 

-camp 

-fab 

-bonkers 

-heartfelt
