Priscilla Presley will be starring in this year’s family pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, at the Opera House in Manchester.
The wife of rock ‘n’ roll icon Elvis Presley will be making her Manchester stage debut in the role of Wicked Queen, following a smash hit run at New Wimbledon Theatre two years ago.
Best known for co-starring with Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun films and for her role as Jenna Wade in Dallas, she says: “I was introduced to the world of pantomime two years ago when I played Wicked Queen at Wimbledon.
"I can honestly say it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. My grandchildren absolutely loved seeing me on stage and I can’t wait to get that costume back on again and start terrorising the people of Manchester!”
The script will once again be written by Eric Potts who just last week collected the Manchester Theatre Awards trophy for Best Special Entertainment for last year’s Dick Whittington.
Further casting is to be announced.
