King's Theatre Panto Stars Acknowledged for Contribution to the City of Edinburgh
By: BWW News Desk
King's Theatre panto stars ALLAN STEWART, ANDY GRAY and GRANT STOTT were invited to a special reception with the Lord Provost in recognition of
their contribution to the City of Edinburgh. Now one of the best-selling pantos across the UK, the King's Theatre Edinburgh panto owes its success to the dedication of its audiences and the unique chemistry between 'dame' Allan Stewart, 'eejit' Andy Gray and 'panto villain' Grant Stott. Cinderella in 2017/18 will mark their lucky thirteenth panto together at the King's; Grant Stott's eighteenth consecutive King's panto and Allan Stewart's seventeenth. The comedy threesome's fabulous energy, the special effects provided by The Twins FX, stunning choreography and sensational musical scores combine to make a spectacular family show to remember. The LORD PROVOST Donald Wilson said: "The King's Theatre Panto has been bringing the house down for over 100 years. This winter - in Jack and the Beanstalk -the trio of Andy, Allan and Grant provided us with comedy gold and the whole cast and crew ensure thousands of people get into the festive spirit every year. It really is the best panto in Britain but it to earn this reputation the theatre and the members put
hours and hours of planning and hard work in to every performance. I thought the cast deserved a well-earned break and a big thank you from their city for the smiles they brought to our faces night after night this winter."
