Best Dame nomination for Jack and the Beanstalk's Dame Trott!

Fri 22 Feb 2019

Little Wolf Entertainment’s Morgan Brind has been nominated for the ‘Best Dame’ award in this year’s Great British Pantomime Awards. Morgan receives the nomination for his part as Dame Trott in Jack and the Beanstalk at Derby Arena. Following its successful run at Derby Arena, Jack and the Beanstalk has also received a nomination for Best Sound Design for James Cook.

Morgan Brind returned to Derby Arena in Christmas 2018 as an audience favourite, keeping the more than 30,000 people who saw the pantomime laughing throughout. Morgan has been nominated alongside the likes of Olivier Award-winning Clive Rowe, and recently appointed MBE Gary Wilmot.

Derby LIVE and Little Wolf Entertainment are proud to be recognised by these awards in the second year of their partnership. Little Wolf co-founder and producer, and nominee for ‘Best Dame’ Morgan Brind said of the nominations:

“I’m delighted to have been nominated for Best Dame in this year’s Great British Pantomime Awards. It’s a genuine honour to be considered alongside those other very well established performers, and I’m also thrilled that the work of our hard-working technical team is being recognised with James’ nomination for Best Sound Design.

I’m looking forward to the awards in April! Jack and the Beanstalk was such a fun show to be a part of and I know from the work that is going on already that Peter Pan is sure to be a truly spectacular show. I've spoken to Dame Trott, it’s fair to say it’s all gone to her head a bit. She’s demanding we now refer to her as DAME HRH or perhaps it was HRT I wasn’t listening, She has also commissioned another fourteen dresses to wear to the awards ceremony which she described as ‘packing light’. She’s thrilled to be returning to Derby for Peter Pan now that her agent has won the battle with the producers and she will no longer have to share a dressing room with the Crocodile.”

We are excited to be working alongside Little Wolf again this year with their co-production of Peter Pan. Tickets are now on sale for this swashbuckling pantomime, with spectacular effects, barrel loads of laughs, jokes that grab you hook, line and sinker, and more than a sprinkling of fairy dust!
