From BGT Fame to Fairy Dust: Sydnie Christmas Makes a Shock Move into Pantomime with Sleeping Beauty

Just weeks after capturing the nation’s heart and winning Britain’s Got Talent 2024, Sydnie Christmas has left fans stunned—not with a debut arena tour or a surprise collaboration, but with a bold and unexpected leap into the world of pantomime. The powerhouse vocalist is returning to her home county of Kent this festive season to star as Fairy Christmas in Sleeping Beauty, running from 14 December 2024 to 5 January 2025 at Dartford’s Orchard West.

 

It’s a move that’s caught many off guard. Sydnie has the momentum, the voice, and a soon-to-be-released album, My Way, dropping on 20 September. So why choose a role in panto instead of the glitz of pop stardom or a national concert tour?

For Sydnie, the answer is deeply personal. “Christmas has always meant the world to me and my family,” she shared. “After such a whirlwind year, I wanted to come home, to give something magical back to the place that raised me. Playing Fairy Christmas feels like the perfect way to sprinkle a bit of Sydnie sparkle on my favorite time of year.”

But make no mistake—this isn’t your average pantomime debut. Sydnie brings powerhouse vocals, raw star power, and that unmistakable charm that won over millions on BGT. With her set to headline a beloved classic in a venue filled with local pride, Sleeping Beauty may end up being the surprise stage event of the season.

Fans who expected her to ride the BGT wave straight into music superstardom are now faced with a fairy tale twist they never saw coming. And maybe—just maybe—that’s exactly why Sydnie made the move. After all, what better way to make headlines than by doing the unexpected?

This Christmas, she won’t just be singing — she’ll be casting spells. And if her BGT journey taught us anything, it’s that when Sydnie Christmas takes the stage, anything can happen.
