THEATRE bosses have unveiled the two big attractions it hopes will pull the crowds in for another record-breaking pantomime season.

Former glamour model-turned actress Linda Lusardi and her husband, former Brookside and Coronation Street star Sam Kane, will head the cast of Snow White at Darlington Civic Theatre.

The husband and wife team, who will play the Wicked Queen and the Prince, will be joined by children's favourite Sooty for the show, which runs from December 5 to January 19.

Lusardi and Kane actually met in the production of the show at Darlington seven years ago.

The theatre's last panto, Aladdin, was the most successful in Darlington's history, pulling 5,000 extra people through the doors, which equates to a ten per cent rise in the number of tickets sold
