The panto will run for 60 performances at the Music Hall from December 6 to January 6.
The actress has enjoyed many integral storylines as Carmella, and was also awarded 'Most Popular New Female Talent' in 2005 from the annual TV Week Logie Awards - Australia's coveted television award ceremony. Natalie said she was thrilled to have been invited to Shrewsbury to play Snow White.
She said: "I'm really excited to be taking part in Shrewsbury's pantomime this year, as this is going to be a fantastic new experience and the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a childhood favourite of mine."
Marketing manager Adam Burgan said: "I'm really delighted with the casting of this year's pantomime. It's fantastic to be able to welcome the biggest star we have ever had.
"Natalie has always been a popular favourite for Neighbours' fans of all ages and to have her come all the way from Australia especially to join us this Christmas truly will make this year's pantomime a magical one."
Last year's production of Aladdin smashed all box office records and had an average attendance of 98 per cent, which makes Shrewsbury's pantomime one of the most successful in the whole country.
