Hollie Cassar, the talented Maltese singer, songwriter, and musical director, recently announced her role as Musical Director for the King’s Head Theatre’s very first pantomime in London, Cinderella.

Hollie expressed her excitement for this festive project, which features an impressive creative team and a star-studded cast. The pantomime is written by renowned panto expert Andrew Pollard, who also serves as director, with stunning musical arrangements and supervision by Ben Barrow. The show’s choreography is led by the acclaimed Emily Golding-Ellis, while puppetry is creatively supported by Little Angel Theatre, adding a unique touch to the production.

Among the highlights of this festive performance is the voice of Dame Judi Dench as the narrator, adding a touch of elegance to the show’s storytelling. In another twist, Drag Race UK star Ella Vaday will bring her charisma to the stage as one of the infamous ugly sisters.

According to Hollie, the script is full of laughs, the songs are energetic and memorable, and the cast brings every character to life.

With such a distinguished team and high-energy performances, this inaugural pantomime promises to be a Christmas spectacle filled with humour, music, and joy.

Hollie’s involvement marks another milestone in her successful career, bringing a piece of Maltese talent to London’s holiday theater scene.

Congratulations, Hollie!
