Cinderella comes to St Helens Theatre Royal from December 4 to January 10.
Last season’s Jack and the Beanstalk broke box office records and was the theatre’s most successful panto to date, and this year is set to be even bigger with Coronation Street’s Marc Baylis and Benidorm star and Theatre Royal favourite Crissy Rock.
Most recently seen as bad boy Rob Donovan in Corrie, Marc swaps the cobbles for his debut playing a panto villain. Extensive theatre credits include the UK tour of Hamlet, Prick Up Your Ears for Comedy Theatre as well as on-screen in Misfits, EastEnders and Hollyoaks.
Crissy Rock is back as one of the Ugly Sisters. No stranger to playing the panto baddie, she starred as the Wicked Queen at The Epstein Theatre in 2013.
Laura Gregory, Jack Rigby, Simon Foster, Ben Engelen and Charlie Griffiths complete this year’s cast.
