British radio broadcaster Emma Barnett will feature as a news reporter in the panto Cinderella And The Matzo Ball at the arts and community venue in Finchley Road.
Her voice will be heard in every performance as news reporter Emma Barnett-By-Pass on ‘The Ten O’Clock Jews’.
Ms Barnett said: “Cinderella and the Matzo Ball is my first and probably only ever professional performance in pantomime!
“I’m happy to make my panto stage debut at JW3 as I’ve been coming every year to JW3’s panto and I laugh a great deal.
“One of my favourite lines that I’m giving is just the fact that we’ve got ‘Jews At Ten’! “I was sold from there – it’s a great concept!
“Everything the script has done with my name too! The name Barnett, especially in this part of the world [North London] does lend itself to a few gags and I have always enjoyed that. But making me into some sort of local road is hilarious!”
Cinderella And The Matzo Ball, a production by JW3, will be running the shows from December 7, 2025 to January 4, 2026.
The show is written by Nick Cassenbaum.
