Regal in panto running

Regal Entertainments Ltd has been shortlisted in four categories at the National Panto Awards 2023.

The panto production company, run by mother and daughter team Jane Joseph and Chantelle Nolan, is behind the family shows staged at Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre and St Helens Theatre Royal.

And both Goldilocks and the Three Bears, which entertained Epstein Theatre audiences last Christmas, and Cinderella at St Helens Theatre Royal have been nominated for accolades.

The annual National Panto Awards are run by the UK Pantomime Association which celebrates excellence and champions pantomime as an important British art form.

This year’s awards ceremony takes place at the Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End on April 11 and will be hosted by Christopher Biggins.
