SNOW WHITE Extends Its Run At St Helens Theatre Royal Due To Popular Demand!

The show may not open until tomorrow - but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is already proving so popular with St Helens audiences that producers have decided to extend its run.

Panto fans will now be able to see Regal Entertainments' magical Christmas production until Sunday 14 January.

There will be five more performances of the Christmas cracker over the weekend of 12-14 January to cope with demand.

Snow White tells the story of the beautiful, kind-hearted girl and the jealous queen who will do anything to be named the fairest in the land instead.

The stellar cast at St Helens Theatre Royal is led by Wild at Heart and Coronation Street's Lucy-Jo Hudson as Snow White. She recently competed in the ITV show Dance, Dance, Dance reaching the final, and won Villain of the Year at the 2017 British Soap Awards for her performance in BBC1 soap Doctors.

Revealing who is the fairest of them all, comedy favourite and St Helens' own Johnny Vegas will appear via video projection as the face and voice of the magic mirror.

Meanwhile LIPA graduate Jack Rigby, who appeared in the Theatre Royal's 2015 panto, Cinderella, is back on stage breaking hearts as the handsome Prince.

Richard Hazlewood also returns after proving a big hit in the St Helens' Easter panto Beauty and the Beast. This time he is Herman the Henchman, while providing lots of jovial hilarity will be Lewis Devine as Muddles.

St Helens Theatre Royal's resident Dame Si Foster returns to take on the role of the Wicked Queen.

And completing the all-star cast is the addition of seven real-life dwarfs, including mother and son Harry Potter actors Josh Bennett and Sarah Bennett, Danny Blackner who appeared in box office hits Star Wars VI - Return of The Jedi, Labyrinth and Muppet Treasure Island, Lucy Blenkiron, Jay Lusted who appeared in the BBC One Wales documentary Born Small: The Wedding, Charlotte Lyons, and finally, Peter Sunter.

Chantelle Nolan, Theatre Manager, said: "We're so excited about this production and it seems our audiences are too. Demand for tickets for Snow White has been extraordinary which is why the decision has been taken to extend the run in to the middle of January.

"This is the first time we have added dates to a panto season and it looks like Snow White is set to be our most successful seasonal show so far.

"The cast are raring to go and the set looks magical, so we can guarantee that whatever your age you will be transported by what is going to be a wonderful show this festive season."

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs runs from Saturday, 2 December 2017 - Sunday 14 January 2018 and tickets are on sale now! Be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
