Amy Perry said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStage-Ed has been such a huge part of my journey, and I\u2019m thrilled to be back at the Floral Pavilion sharing my passion with the amazing young people of the Wirral. Watching their confidence grow is incredible \u2013 and I can\u2019t wait to get onstage myself after so many years of putting on shows with Stage-Ed. I hope it shows our young people that anything\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pauline Campbell, Venue Manager at the Floral Pavilion, adds:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe [Amy] does Stage-ed every year,\u201d Pauline added, \u201cAnd I am sure this will encourage many of the kids that already know her, as well as this year\u2019s young actors, to come to the Panto.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin Dodd, Producer for UK Productions, added:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving Amy Perry in both the Stage-ed summer programme and starring as Sleeping Beauty this Christmas is an absolute win-win for the Floral Pavilion and its audiences.

Bringing high-camp hilarity and scene-stealing sparkle is the incomparable\u00a0Quinn Patrick, reprising his role as the fabulous\u00a0Nanny Nora. A seasoned dame with a gift for comic timing and outrageous costumes, Quinn delivers the glitter, giggles and gasp-worthy one-liners that are a beloved panto tradition.<\/p>\n

Not forgetting\u00a0Amy Perry, whose vibrant stage career will add her brand of charm and talent to this spectacular casting. Starring as the wicked Carabosse, she will make an incredible return to the Pavilion stage.<\/p>\n
