THE WHITEHAVEN Theatre Group has announced the cast list for this year's pantomime.

The group, which is celebrating its 50th year, is looking to stage Rapunzel.

Based in Esk Avenue it is a non-profit making theatre group Trust, that produces annual shows, plays and pantomimes.

Among the main characters Rapunzel will be played by Scarlett Todhunter, Flynn Perm will be played by Olivia Underwood, Silly Slappy will be played by Louisa Morton and Brainless Bob by Sophie Munson.

The cast was announced on Facebook.

The post said: "I would like to thank all those that were unsuccessful in the parts they auditioned for, but have accepted another role.

"But more so to those that have been unsuccessful in any principal role this year but are still willing to join the ensemble whether it be chorus or a senior dancer.

"It means that this year is set to be one of the strongest ensemble we have had for many many years and I'm sure we will all have an absolute hoot during panto season."
