Stars of two of Britain's biggest comedies to appear in Fareham panto
The stars of two of TV's most beloved comedies are to star in panto in Hampshire this Christmas.
Sue Holderness, of Only Fools and Horses fame, and Tyger Drew-Honey, who appeared in Outnumbered, have joined the cast of Beauty and the Beast at Fareham Live.
Best known for her role as Marlene in the classic British sitcom and its spin off, Sue Holderness will delight audiences as the delightfully wicked Marlene the Malevolent, while TV favourite Tyger Drew-Honey, who played Jake Brockman in the BBC comedy, takes on the role of the vain and villainous Gaston.

They appear alongside the previously announced Paul Burling, Britain's Got Talent finalist and master impressionist, back by popular demand, who returns to the stage as the hilarious French Frank.
This magical retelling of Beauty and the Beast, produced by the award-winning Imagine Theatre, promises enchanting storytelling, side-splitting comedy, dazzling costumes, and spectacular song and dance numbers.

The production will run from December 12 to January 4.
