A winner of an ITV talent show is coming to Crewe town centre venue this winter.

Crewe Lyceum and Pantomime producer Imagine Theatre today announce that The X-Factor star Matt Terry will join this year's magical family favourite Cinderella this December.

He'll perform alongside the already-announced Malcolm Lord and Ste Johnston.

The production is on from December 8 to December 31 2023. 

Matt Terry, originally from Bromley, is joining 'Cinderella' at Crewe Lyceum later this year.

Matt Terry won the hearts of the nation in 2016 having emerged victorious on the biggest TV talent show in the UK, The X-Factor.

His Ed Sheeran-penned debut single went straight into the Top 5 of the UK charts, prior to a string of mainstream successes which included Enrique Iglesias and Sean Paul collaboration Súbeme La Radio which reached the top 10 and has recently gone platinum.

Matt's biggest streaming success came with Sucker For You which to date has accumulated over 130 million global streams.

Considering the fact the 30-year-old's debut single When Christmas Comes Around is festive-themed, it makes him a perfect addition to Crewe Lyceum's festive pantomime traditio

Matt will play Prince Charming in 'Cinderella'.

Matt has successfully crossed over into the musical theatre world performing in shows and touring the UK with Madagascar as lead role Alex the Lion. He's also appeared in The Grinch and most recently the smash hit musical Rock of Ages.

Matt said "I couldn't be more excited to be returning to the stage and performing for the first time in Crewe in this magical festive production of Cinderella. The countdown to Christmas is on!"

Rhys Hopkin, Lyceum Theatre Director, said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Matt Terry will be leading our magical pantomime, Cinderella, this year." 

"Matt's a wonderful live performer as many will remember from The X-Factor and his time with Madagascar and Rock of Ages. 

"He's such a great addition to the cast, and I'm sure he'll have his hands full with the mischievous double team of Ste Johnson and Malcolm Lord. We can't wait to see him perform on our iconic stage."

The synopsis for the upcoming production reads "Poor Cinderella works night and day but dreams of a very different life, and with an invitation to the royal ball it looks as if her wish may be granted. Will her Wicked Stepsisters succeed in ruining Cinderella's dreams of happiness, or will her Fairy Godmother and loyal friend Buttons be able to thwart their devilish plans? Pop on your glad-rags and join us at the ball to find out! Come and join us for everyone's favourite rags to riches tale, Cinderella!"
