The legendary Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse rock ‘n’ roll panto will be Rapunzel: Hairway to Heaven at the Hope Street venue from November 28 to January 23.

Regular writers Sarah A Nixon and Mark Chatterton have adapted the Brothers Grimm tale but the traditional story may get a little tangled along the way.

Among the cast will be double-act Adam Keast and Francis Tucker.

Everyman and Playhouse artistic director Gemma Bodinetz said: “our much-loved rock ‘n’ roll panto is famous for fantastical plots, hilarious puns, dazzling singing and musicianship, all wrapped up in a magical bundle of joyous anarchy.

"It is as much a party as a show, full of families and laughter, magic and fart gags.”
