Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas will star in the title role of this year’s gold-paved, must-see pantomime DICK WHITTINGTON at Wolverhampton Grand. It runs from Saturday 7 December, and Ryan will join Hi-de-Hi stars Su Pollard and Jeffrey Holland, with comedian Aaron James and returning favourites Ian Adams and Julie Paton.
Salford-born Ryan burst onto television screens on Christmas Day in 2000 in the role of Jason Grimshaw in the iconic ITV soap Coronation Street, a role he played for over 16 years. Best known for romantic entanglements, Ryan left Weatherfield three years ago in an emotional departure following the death of his on-screen father. Since leaving the famed cobbles of Coronation Street Ryan went on to star in another iconic soap in Australia’s hugely popular Neighbours as the mysterious Rafael Humphreys.
Ryan also appeared on the second series of Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls which saw him fend for himself on the ultimate survival challenge, and on the final series of Celebrity Big Brother which saw him crowned the last ever winner of the iconic reality television show.
Tickets can be booked in person at the theatre, by calling 01902 42 92 12 or online at grandtheatre.co.uk.
