Hide AdIts reputation has now been sealed with the news that Harriett Hare has won Best Principal Girl in the UK after being cast as a female Jack in Harrogate Theatre's Jack and the Beanstalk.
The talented actress received her award in London at The Great British Pantomime Awards.
Harriett said she was delighted by the award.
She said: “It was great to be able to play Jack Trott as a feisty female - hopefully it’s a sign of more powerful female leads driving the narrative of panto!”
“I think it is a testament to the production team, cast and creatives at Harrogate Theatre."
