This will be Isabelle’s first time performing at the Eric Morecambe Centre, and she is glad to be working at this lovely theatre this Christmas. She is passionate about bringing high-energy vocals and a ‘heroine with attitude’ to this year’s panto and is excited and grateful to be able to share some Christmas magic with you all. Don’t forget to boo the baddies and, of course, brush and brush and brush your hair!
