FIRST Family Entertainment and The Bristol Hippodrome have announced that film and television star Warwick Davis, Cbeebies presenter Andy Day and panto favourite Andy Ford will be starring in this year’s family pantomime – Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.

Warwick will star as Prof, with Andy Day as Muddles and Andy Ford as the Henchman.

Warwick’s acting career came about purely by chance when his Grandmother heard a radio announcement calling for ‘short people’ to appear in the new Star Wars film Return of the Jedi.

He played the tiny Ewok Wicket, who became one of the film’s lead creature characters and the rest is history.

Warwick’s work in film includes Star Wars Return of the Jedi, Labyrinth, Willow, and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

Warwick said: “I am delighted to be appearing in Snow White at The Bristol Hippodrome this Christmas. I am looking forward to working with the theatre, the cast and crew to bring you the best panto Bristol has ever seen. It’s a ‘tall order’ but I’m determined it won’t fall ‘short’ of audience expectations. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there.”

Andy Day is very well known to families across the country for fronting his own Bafta nominated Cbeebies series Andy’s Wild Adventures, as well as the follow-up series Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures. Andy Ford has become a firm favourite with Hippodrome audiences and critics alike and this will be his seventh consecutive panto here.
