Corrie favourite Lisa George will swap the cobbles for a horse and carriage this festive season as it is confirmed that she will play Fairy Godmother in this year’s magical family pantomime Cinderella at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon which will run from 07 December 2024 to 05 January 5 2025.

Lisa George is best known for her role in ITV’s Coronation Street, having first appeared on the cobbles in 2011 playing Beth Tinker being nominated as Best Newcomer in the 2012 annual TV Choice awards. Other TV Credits include the BAFTA nominated television adaptation of the Jacqueline Wilson novel The Illustrated Mum, as well as episodes of British serial dramas Casualty, Holby City and Emmerdale, also appearing in Dancing on Ice in 2020. Theatre credits include the stage musical production of Prisoner: Cell Block H.

Lisa who will join the previously announced David Ashley in Cinderella said:

““I love panto and it’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to be on stage joining in the fun and games, so I’m really happy to be back, playing Fairy Godmother in Swindon this year. Wand at the ready. I’ll see you there for some panto magic!”

Cinderella promises to make all your Christmas wishes come true, with laughs galore, sensational singing and dancing, bucket loads of audience participation and a touch of fairy godmother magic.

Theatre Director of the Wyvern, Laura James said of the casting: ‘It’s fantastic news that Lisa will be joining us in Pantoland this year! From the Corrie cobbles to the sparkling Swindon stage, we can’t wait to welcome her and see the magic she’ll be bringing to our wonderful audiences, alongside the rest of the fabulous cast in Cinderella this December.

Poor Cinderella works night and day but dreams of a very different life and with an invitation to the royal ball it looks as if her wish may be granted. Will her Wicked Stepsisters succeed in ruining Cinderella’s dreams of happiness, or will her Fairy Godmother and loyal friend Buttons be able to thwart their devilish plans? Pop on your glad-rags and join us at the ball to find out!
