THEY'RE behind you!
The Cinderella cast have landed in town and are preparing to transport you into a magical world as they rehearse for the Christmas pantomime at the Grimsby Auditorium.
Amongst those rehearsing for this year's festive extravaganza is TV's How Clean Is Your House? star "Queen of Clean" Kim Woodburn.
Kim, who is currently staying at the Humber Royal Hotel in Grimsby, will transform into the Wicked Stepmother for the first show on Friday, December 7.
The star has been going over her script at home with her husband, and she describes her role as a "nasty piece of work."
"I'm very excited about this character and it's very different and strange for me to have a script because I'm used to TV work," Kim said.
"I have been laughing so much at rehearsals and the atmosphere has been great between the cast. I think we have enough days to rehearse the play in time, and I can't wait to have an audience at the Auditorium because that's when it will come alive."
The cast will be trying out their outfits next week for the show and Kim hopes for a really big dress.
"I can't wait to see my outfit– I want a really big dress," she said.
"And I can't wait to get on stage and flirt with all the men!"
Mark Pearce, is director and also plays Buttons in the show, and he said the cast had a very warm welcome to the town.
"The Christmas light switch on at the Go To Town event was great and we were given a very warm welcome," he said.
"We also went into a bar in Cleethorpes and we were handed a guitar to have a singsong to some of the songs we will be performing in the show."
"There will be lots of pop songs in the show, such as the Sugababes and Olly Murs.
"There will also be two miniature palomino ponies pulling the carriage which are really cute.
"People can expect a lot of fun, and laughter and during the Christmas Eve performance there might be a special appearance from Father Christmas!"
The Pantomime will take place from Friday, December 7 until Wednesday, December 26 at various times.
