A Cromer Christmas Show favourite will be performing at the end-of the-pier variety spectacular this summer.
Singer Jane Watkins will be one of the acts in the Seaside Special which runs from June 21-September 20 at the Pavilion Theatre.
Shows will be held at 7.30pm between Tuesdays and Saturdays and matinée performances of the Show Two, featuring the main Seaside Special performers, will be held at 2.30pm on some of the days.
And you can have the chance of seeing Jane and the rest of the Cromer Pier Show cast by buying a copy of this week's North Norfolk News and entering a competition to win two tickets to any evening performance of the show.
Jane began her career in theatre at the age of 16 and made her début performance playing the part of Mary Warren in the Tony award-winning play The Crucible at the Hull Truck Theatre.
Later in the same year she landed the role of Caroline Neville in Titanic the musical.
Jane has had her own solo show since she was 18 when she performed in venues in the north of England while making her way through university, where she achieved a BA honours degree in Musical Theatre.
