The first performance of this year's Shrewsbury pantomime, starring Neighbours beauty Natalie Blair, will entertain audiences today.
Magic, laughter and mayhem is promised for this year's production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The curtain was due to rise at The Music Hall at 1.45pm, with another showing at 6pm.
The 2007/8 panto is set for 60 performances - one of its longest runs - and tickets are still available.
John Spillers Pantomime Company is behind this year's extravaganza and John Spillers, who is directing the show himself, said Shrewsbury was one of the most welcoming places for his pantomimes.
Natalie, who plays Carmella Cammeniti in Neighbours, will be taking to the stage just a week after flying into the country from Australia.
The panto will run until January 6. To book tickets, call the box office on (01743) 281281.
