Swansea Grand Theatre scoops two wins at UK Pantomime Association Awards
Beauty and the Beast was a hit with audiences and has been praised by judges
Swansea Grand Theatre’s pantomime of Beauty and the Beast has won two
awards at the UK Pantomime Association Awards.
The show, which ran between December and January, starred Joe McFadden, Hayley Gallivan, Stefan Pejic, Matt Edwards and Kevin Johns.
It scooped the award for Best Pantomime (in a venue over 900 seats) and also for Best Set Design for its dazzling digital set.
The theatre's manager, Grant McFarlane said: "We couldn’t be more delighted, what a great night for Swansea Grand Theatre and Imagine Pantomimes.
"Audience feedback last year was exceptional, and it’s great to see that reflected in this award. Panto is alive and well in Swansea and we look forward to seeing many more people return to visit us this year.”
Swansea Council cabinet member for culture and equalities, Cllr Elliott King said: “It’s great that the Grand has won this national recognition.
"The theatre, its staff and partners continue to deliver top class entertainment for the people of Swansea and further afield.
"Tickets are already selling well for this year’s panto of Cinderella, and we can be sure that it’ll be a brilliant experience for those who attend.”
Advance ticket sales for Cinderella, which will run from December 9 until January 7, have already outstripped previous years and the scene is set for festive fun and frolics.
