What’s On in Act 2 of 2026!
Joining the previously announced Mike McClean, are Ellena Bacon and Peter Brad-Leigh, bringing even more talent, experience and plenty of festive fun to this year’s spectacular production.
Ellena Bacon will be taking to the stage as Snow White, having built an impressive career since graduating from the prestigious Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London.
Ellena has had leading roles in The Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel and, fittingly, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She has also delighted family audiences as Fairy Fortywinks in Sleeping Beauty and Jill in Jack and the Beanstalk. Ellena said she is thrilled to be returning to pantomime alongside such a wonderful cast and can’t wait to share the magic with audiences in Ipswich this Christmas.
Returning for his third Ipswich pantomime is Peter Brad-Leigh.
Originally from South Wales, Peter has enjoyed a varied career across theatre, television and film. Most recently he appeared as a semi-finalist on Britain’s Got Talent as part of the pantomime dame troupe Dame Nation. His television credits include Let’s Dance for Sport Relief (BBC), while his extensive theatre career has seen him appear in productions including Dinnerladies, Sweeney Todd, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Jesus Christ Superstar.
A seasoned pantomime performer with decades of experience playing Dames and Ugly Sisters, Peter is sure to have audiences laughing from start to finish.
Ellena and Peter join the already announced Mike “Squeaky” McClean!
Packed with spectacular scenery, dazzling costumes, laugh-out-loud comedy, toe-tapping musical numbers and plenty of audience participation, Snow White promises to be the perfect festive treat for the whole family.
