If you’ve not got tickets yet, or are due to see the show later this month, here are some pictures of this year’s Alban Arena panto.

Starring EastEnders’ Rita Simons, the fun-packed family show runs at the city centre entertainment venue until Sunday, January 8, 2017.

Best known as Roxy Mitchell in the BBC One soap, Rita plays the Wicked Queen in the panto.

And a number of Rita’s Albert Square co-stars watched Sunday night’s press performance, with Letitia Dean and Steve McFadden both in the audience.

The Arena production also stars Bob Golding as Nurse Nellie, Ian Kirkby as Herman the Henchman and Dave Bibby as Muddles.

Lauren Cocoracchio plays Snow White.
