Panto stars have plaques unveiled in recognition of their commitment

- Sentinel Reporter

THEATRE bosses have paid tribute to two well-loved panto stars by naming seats after them.

Mark Rhodes and David Phipps-Davis are back at the booming Gatehouse in Stafford for the third year running in Sleeping Beauty, which runs from December 5 to January 4.

And to mark their three years leading the panto fun, they have both had plaques attached to seats in the main house in their honour.

"I’m absolutely thrilled," said BBC WM star and CBBC legend Mark who plays Hilarious Harry in this year's show.
