So we decided to take a look into the Chronicle & Echo’s archive from the last 20 years to find just some of the many famous faces that have graced the stages in the town’s theatres.
From comedians and pop stars to soap stars and daytime television legends, these pictures will bring back memories for many who have enjoyed pantos in Northampton over the years.
We may have missed your favourite – if we have, let us know!
