NOEL ANDREW HARRON (Wishee Washee)

Noel is another actor who has returned to the White Rock Theatre for a second consecutive Christmas, but can you guess who he played last year in Peter Pan? He is currently wowing audiences as the comic al Porter in S4K's Macbeth, which visited Hastings in October. (Answer; he was Nana the Dog!)

DREW BAKER (Widow Twankey)

In a Hastings Double Whammy, the Aladdin production team signed-up the opera diva Drew Baker to "give his Twankey" for us this Christmas, in the same week that he agreed to head up the new  White Rock Youth Theatre. Will he be sinmging Nessun Dorma ("None Shall Sleep") in Old Peking? Or will his singing just keep us all awake?

(London Palladium), Peter Pan (Richmond Theatre and also Churchill Theatre, Bromley) and the UK and international tour of S4K's Romeo and Juliet (Benvolio).  Bobby has just completed a successful run of Toonful – Songs from Animated Movie Musicals (Landor Theatre,

SEANETTE GARCIA (Princess Jasmine)

Seanette's resemblance to the on-screen Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin is uncanny. The beautiful graduate from Guildford School of Acting will be making her pantomime debut in Hastings.
