Sheffield Theatres and Evolution Pantomimes are delighted to announce that Jake Canuso (Mateo from ITV's Benidorm), CBeebies favourite Andy Day (Andy's Dinosaur Adventures) and Sheffield legend DamIan Williams will star in Mother Goose at the Lyceum Theatre from Friday 8 December until Sunday 7 January.

Packed full of fun for the whole family, Mother Goose will mark DamIan Williams' tenth golden year at the Lyceum and is written and directed by Paul Hendy. Produced by the same team behind last year's smash hit Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this year's panto promises egg-cellent audience participation, spectacular special effects and sensational sets and costumes.

Jake Canuso will play Demon Vanity. Best known as Mateo in the hugely successful Benidorm for ITV, his most recent television credits also include Bad Education, The Hour and Hustle. Jake started his career as a dancer and became the youngest member of Zurich's leading contemporary dance company at the age of sixteen. As a performer and choreographer he has toured with Annie Lennox, Take That and The Spice Girls.

Andy Day plays Billy Goose and returns to Sheffield Theatres having starred in Dick Whittington at the Lyceum Theatre in 2014. A presenter and actor, Andy is best known for his BAFTA-nominated series for CBeebies, Andy's Wild Adventures as well as Andy's Dinosaur Adventures and his new series Andy's Safari Adventures. Andy has starred in four UK arena tours for CBeebies Live and has appeared for many years in CBeebies' annual televised pantomime. In 2009 he was nominated for a Children's BAFTA award for Best Presenter.

DamIan Williams has made Sheffield his second home with his hilarious performances in the Lyceum Theatre pantomime over the past nine years. Away from panto, Damian has performed in a range of comedy roles, including playing Edna Turnblad in Hairspray, Luther Billis in South Pacific and Tommy Cooper in Being Tommy Cooper. He is currently in the UK tour of Don't Dress for Dinner. Other theatre work includes My Dog's Got No Nose, Scrooge and Little Shop Of Horrors. He also recently appeared as Tommy Cooper in the short film The Last Laugh, written and directed by Paul Hendy.

Last year's pantomime was seen by over 49,000 people and tickets for Mother Goose are already selling fast.

Tickets for Mother Goose can be purchased from Sheffield Theatres' Box Office in-person, by phone on 0114 249 6000 or online at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk and are priced from £15.00.
