Mel Giedroyc withdraws from pantomime alongside Ian McKellen due to 'personal reasons'
The press release also stated that "Everyone in the show sends love and best wishes to Mel and her family".A replacement has not been announced yet, with the former Great British Bake Off host previously set to play the main role, but ATG productions have confirmed the role is being re-cast.Written by Coronation Street's Jonathan Harvey and directed by Cal McCrystal, the show tells the story of Mother Goose and her husband Vic, who run an animal sanctuary and live in an abandoned Debenhams store.However, the couple's lives are turned upside down when they are met with the unexpected arrival of a goose.The production is due to open at the Theatre Royal Brighton from 3 to 11 December before a West End run at the Duke of York's Theatre between 15 December and 29 January.The show will also star Oscar Conlon-Morrey as Jack, Simbi Akande as Jill, Sharon Ballard as Evil Fairy Malignia and Karen Mavundukure as Good Fairy Encanta.Sir Ian spoke about the upcoming panto at the launch show, a mere two weeks ago.He admitted: "It is a serious story told comically. It is about good and bad, and of course, good always triumphs in a pantomime."It uses every device the theatre can offer.There is singing, there is dancing, there is rhyme, there are jokes, there is sentiment, there is audience participation, there is a man dressed as a woman, a woman dressed as a goose."Everything has gone haywire and it is all for the audience to have a good time.That is the only reason you do it.""But what intrigues me is that it has come out of this country.
