The New Victoria Theatre, Woking and First Family Entertainment are delighted to announce that film and television star Warwick Davis will star in this year's spectacular family pantomime Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.

The job of head dwarf Prof is a tall order but nothing that TV and film star Warwick Davis can't measure up to! Warwick's acting career came about purely by chance when his grandmother heard a radio announcement calling for 'short people' to appear in the new Star Wars film Return of the Jedi. He played the tiny Ewok Wicket, who became one of the film's lead creature characters and the rest is history.

Warwick's work in film includes Star Wars Return of the Jedi, Labyrinth, Willow, cult movie Leprechaun which spawned five sequels, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace where he played no less than four roles, children's films A Very Unlucky Leprechaun and The White Pony. More recently Warwick could be seen in Ray Charles biopic Ray, as Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and in Prince Caspian the follow up to The Chronicle of Narnia's The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Warwick has appeared in many guises in all eight Harry Potter films which have become one of the most successful film series of all time. His characters include Professor Flitwick, the Goblin Bank Teller and Griphook. A equally familiar face on the small screen, Warwick has starred in comedy series Life's Too Short, An Idiot Aboard 3, hosting his first prime-time game show Celebrity Squares as well as starring with his family in their own travel show, Weekend Escapes with Warwick Davis.

Warwick said;
"I am delighted to be coming to Woking this Christmas in the spectacular production of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. I'm very proud of the show that we have created and I am lucky enough to be involved with the script and direction of the show. I can guarantee you and the family will have a great time. I've heard the Woking audiences are some of the best in the country so I look forward to seeing you all later in the year."

We last welcomed Warwick to the New Victoria Theatre, Woking in 2014 with his Reduced Height Theatre Company and their first production See How They Run. The wonderfully funny and much-loved farce was enhanced by the fact the cast are all under four foot tall.
