A GROUP of pantomime stars have been given an early Christmas gift — oh yes they have!

For the cast and crew at Prestwich Amateur Dramatic and Operatic Society who have gearing up to put on a festive run of Goldilocks And The Three Bars have discovered that they have sold out every single show.

The fun begins at PADOS House in St Mary's Road, Prestwich, at 7.30pm on Saturday and evening shows run up to and including December 5.

With younger theatre fans in mind, there will also be a series of matinee performances.

A PADOS spokesman said: "We're expecting attendance from many local groups, including the 161st Manchester scout troop, Cheetham Hill and St Mary's Church Sunday School in Prestwich among many others.

"Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a pantomime by Doris Hillard packed with fun, the usual slapstick comedy, and song and dance including several recent chart toppers."
