TWO stars of York Theatre Royal’s panto will host a one-off show as preparations for this winter’s performance’s gather pace.

David Leonard and Suzy Cooper will share some of their favourite poems, the odd song and some gags on Sunday, October 22, during their ‘Waiting for Panto’ evening at the Theatre Royal.

Suzy and David, along with the other panto regulars, will be back in the old routine at the end of November when rehearsals begin for Jack & The Beanstalk, which plays from December 14 to February 3.

The proceeds of Waiting for Panto will go towards the theatre’s on-going work with the community.
