The Marlowe Theatre has already announced its next pantomime within weeks of the curtain falling on its Aladdin production.

Producers have revealed that 2015’s show will be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Celebrity names are yet to be confirmed, but fans’ favourite Ben Roddy is already tipped to play the pantomime dame.

Roddy has made a name for himself in the role over the last six years, and is pictured playing Widow Twankey in the recent production.

This year the Marlowe has teamed up with a new sponsor, Lipscomb Volvo, which has previously backed comedy nights at the venue.

Lipscomb has also sponsored Canterbury Children’s Festival.

Sarah Munday, a spokesman for the theatre, said it was common practice to announce pantomimes so early in the year.

The recent Aladdin show featured former EastEnders star Scott Maslen.
