PANTO LAUNCH: Sherrie Hewson and Dean Sullivan

It might only be October, but the panto season is almost upon us as the stars of this year's festive spectacular at the Sunderland Empire visit the National Glass Centre in search of those elusive glass slippers.

Star of the show, loose woman and honorary mackem Sherrie Hewson responds to the news of the lack of panto at the theatre recently and Dean Sullivan gives an insight into what audiences can expect.
