Oh no he isn't! Leeds Rhinos legend Sir Kevin Sinfield to make panto debut
The rugby league icon is the voicer of The Giant in Jack and the Beanstalk at the Carriageworks Theatre
Leeds Rhinos legend Sir Kevin Sinfield is set to make his panto debut, stepping into the role of The Giant in Jack and the Beanstalk.
The rugby league icon is voicing the role in the Carriageworks Theatre production to debut this November.
It comes after the Super League start raised approximately £11m for motor neurone disease research in memory of his late teammate Rob Burrow - and was knighted earlier this year.
The rest of the cast is to be confirmed.
Speaking on his panto debut, Kevin said: “Leeds has been such a huge part of my life, professionally and personally, and the city will always hold a very special place in my heart.
“I’ve faced a few giants in my rugby career, but voicing The Giant is a new kind of challenge, and having the chance to be part of Christmas for all the families that will be paying a visit to the Carriageworks Theatre over the festive season is a real privilege."
"I can’t wait for audiences to come along, boo The Giant and enjoy what will undoubtedly be a fantastic show.”
