Pamela told us: “That is what I want to do. I have always known in my heart that I am a performer. It is what makes me super happy in life and I just want to share that with other people.
“I’m manifesting that acting role or singing opportunity – I will be so happy.”
Pamela took an acting course in the Gaiety to prepare.
“I am ready for whatever opportunity comes my way.”
The 27-year-old will also showcase her singing talents on stage.
“I’m playing the fairy angel. She’s a friendly face you’d like to see. She’s all about bringing joy and helping Snow White and others along the way.
“She has her own little number as well, so it is very nice.”
Speaking about why she took on the challenging role of panto this year, she said: “It’s fun and festive. You’re making the audience happy. It’s a challenge and it is something new to me as well. I wanted to do something fun, that was the main reason,” she added.
Snow White and Sammy and Buffy pantomime kicks off today and runs until January 8.
