that they are delighted to announce the star studded cast set to enchant

Channel 5 Milkshake's Amy Thompson leads the cast as the beautiful Belle. The
star of 'Milkshake's Bop Box,' 'Summer Fun' and 'Festive
Fun' has also appeared on ITV's 'Coronation Street' and 'Emmerdale'
and transfers to the silver screen with her 1st feature film:-
'The Last Laugh' due for release in May 2017. No stranger to treading
the boards, Amy has also starred in many stage and panto productions across the
country.
On joining the cast Amy Thompson said:- "Belle is my favourite Disney
princess and I am delighted to be playing her for the 1st time at St Helens
Theatre Royal next Easter."
Adding some extra sparkle will be legendary
Big Brother housemate Nikki Grahame, as Fairy Rose. Since 1st entering the
famous house in 2006, Nikki has become 1 the most popular and talked about
housemates in worldwide Big Brother history, returning to take part in 2010's
Ultimate Big Brother then again in June 2015 for a 1 off special week (then
extended to 2) as a Big Brother legend.
Get ready to go on an adventure and follow Belle as she falls in love with the
most unexpected of princes with Richard Hazelwood who stars as the Beast. After
reeling in audiences with his captivating performance as Captain Hook in last
year's production of Peter Pan, Philip McGuinness returns to the Theatre Royal
and is also trying to win Belle's heart as the brutish Gaston.
Get ready to roll in the aisles laughing, with the hilarious Liam Mellor. The
Theatre Royal favourite will be causing mayhem and mischief aplenty as French
Frank and his partner in crime, St Helens' resident dame, Simon Foster completes
the cast as Potty Polly.
This enchanting tale is filled with hilarious comedy, wonderful songs and a
story which proves that even the grumpiest of Beasts can change his ways. Make
sure to book your tickets before the final rose petal falls; this is sure to be
the must see Easter event of 2017!
Chantelle Nolan, Theatre Manager said:- "I am delighted to announce next
year's Easter panto cast. Amy Thompson is a well known children's presenter so I
have no doubt she will shine with her bubbly and friendly personality, and the
nation fell in love with Nikki Grahame when she was in the Big Brother House
with her hilarious over the top antics and she will make an excellent addition
to the line up. It is an exciting mix of new faces as well as some Theatre Royal
returning favourites and I can't wait to bring it to audiences next year."
