SPOTLIGHT FACT
Langford's appearance on Dancing on Ice reinvigorated her career. She returned to the West End theatre in 2006 playing the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago.
It was on a hot summer 2026 day when we were busy working on the Emmerdale page that
I came across Linda Lusardi and wow what a PANTO career she's had. I started to look into
her past pantomime performances and they went on and on and on... and always with great
reviews! Linda has also performed on both sides of the scale being the villain as well as the
hero! It was a quick and easy decision to include her on our SPOTLIGHT pages.
Enjoy looking back over this incredible panto career!
