A FATHER and son double act is celebrating a decade of entertaining the North-East at Christmas.

Clive Webb and Danny Adams, are preparing this year for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, their tenth pantomime at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle.

Since they made their debut on the region’s panto scene in 2005 with Jill Halfpenny in Cinderella, their popularity has grown.

Theatre bosses says their extraordinary slapstick routines, charm and classic old-school comedy have secured them legendary status.

Clive Webb, who was born in Sunderland, said: “We would never have imagined in a million years that we’d still be here ten years on.

“We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you the people of the North-East, because without you none of this could have happened.”

The winning combination of Clive and Danny, West End producer Michael Harrison and high production values has led the Theatre Royal panto to break sales records every year since 2005.

With more than 90,000 people now seeing the show each year and with booking up to 90 per cent capacity before opening night, it is often the fastest selling panto in the country and one of the most successful in the world.

Newcastle-born producer Michael Harrison said: “I am thrilled to have assembled a first-class cast for this year’s pantomime.”

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs runs from Tuesday, November 25 until Sunday, January 18. Tickets are available from £12 and can be booked from the Theatre Royal box office on 08448-112-121 or select your own seat and book online at www.theatreroyal.co.uk
