Danny Miller is best-known for his recurring role as Aaron Dingle in ITV’s Emmerdale.  During his 13-year stint on the show Danny won three British Soap Awards for Best Actor in 2012, 2013 and 2016.  Hailing from Stockport, Manchester, Danny is well-known for his charm and charisma - so much so that he was crowned by the voting public as King of the Jungle on the twenty-first series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in 2021.

Talking about his casting in Jack and the Beanstalk Danny Miller said:

“I have loved the story of Jack and the Beanstalk since I was a kid so I’m really excited to bring it to life on the stage. To get the chance alongside Billy and Divina will be bags of fun!"

Divina De Campo, who hails from Yorkshire, is a seasoned British drag queen and singer best known for her appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finishing as runner up.  Divina has been featured on national television programmes including ITV’s The Voice as well as being a featured judge on BBC One’s All Together Now.

Most recently, Divina has been on tour with the UK production of Chicago and has just finished her run of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Leeds Playhouse and HOME Manchester.

On doing panto in their home county Divina De Campo said:

I’m so excited to be coming back to the Alhambra Theatre and Bradford!  Many a day spent in the ice rink and the National Science and Media museum on the flying carpet and of course shopping!  The Alhambra has a very special place in my heart as it’s the theatre I saw most of my firsts at! Tickled green to be bringing my beans with me back home!”

Adam Renton General Manager Bradford Theatres commented:

“I’m absolutely delighted with the addition of Danny and Divina to our cast for this year’s pantomime.  I’m sure that audiences of all ages will thoroughly enjoy another outstanding festive show in Bradford.  Along with Billy Pearce at the helm, Danny and Divina will ensure that Jack and the Beanstalk at the Alhambra Theatre is bigger and better than ever before, packed with festive magic, spectacular effects and lots of laughter.

There is huge affection for the Alhambra Theatre’s annual panto and we can’t wait to welcome customers back to share some panto magic with us and have the opportunity to create some wonderful memories.”

Doomed to sell his trusty cow, Jack sets out on a quest to climb a beanstalk of gigantic proportions to cloudland in the spectacular family pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk.

Jack and the Beanstalk is produced by the World’s biggest pantomime producer, Crossroads Pantomimes, and will feature amazing effects by theatrical special effects wizards The Twins FX.
