Mr Redwood said: "We are absolutely delighted to receive this award.
"I’m so incredibly proud of our ensemble, who brought such energy, talent, and commitment to every performance.
"They truly shone on stage and this recognition is so well deserved.
"Ensemble performers are the beating heart of any pantomime, and they don’t always get the recognition they deserve – so for them to be celebrated in this way makes it even more special."
He also praised the Tivoli show’s growing reputation and audience appeal.
He said: "We’re also hugely proud of how our pantomime at the Tivoli Theatre has grown over the past few years, building year on year into something really special for audiences."
The company’s next show at the Tivoli will be Jack and the Beanstalk.
