Derry's Sleeping Beauty nominated for Best Panto at the 2022 UK Pantomime Awards

Derry's Sleeping Beauty, produced and performed at the Millennium Forum last Christmas, has been nominated by the UK Pantomime Association for Best Pantomime (over 900 seats) at the 2022 awards.

The nominations also saw Sean O'Neill nominated for Best Comic.

During the 2021/2022 season, 46 judges saw 207 pantomimes across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Millennium Forum expressed their delight at the nominations,  “We are delighted that our Christmas panto, Sleeping Beauty, has been nominated for this prestigious national award.  

"Each year, our team works extremely hard to produce a show of the highest quality and we are very proud that this has been recognised, particularly as this was our first panto since we reopened after lockdown restrictions ended.

"We also wish our cast member, Sean O’Neill, well with his nomination in the Best Comic category.”  

The Awards Ceremony will take place on Tuesday April 19 2022 at the Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End hosted by Christopher Biggins.
