Don't miss 'The Magic Mirror'
with the one and only Ricky Thomlinson, this Easter!
LHK Productions and the Epstein
Theatre has announced an additional name to their Easter pantomime cast,
Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. Liverpool actor and comedian Ricky Thomlinson
will feature in the role of The Magic Mirror in the guise of Jim Royle.
Producer Lee Kelly has already confirmed The Apprentice and Celebrity Big
Brother star James Hill in the title role, who will leave the boardroom to
tread the boards at The Epstein Theatre for the very first time. The show
also stars local actress Georgia Austin to the role of Snow White, TV and
Radio presenter, Debi Jones, who makes a welcome return to the stage as the
Wicked Queen. Meanwhile, Liverpool favourite, Michael Chapman will return as
the hilarious panto dame! Ricky is probably best known for his roles
as Bobby Grant in Brookside and the lazy but loveable Jim Royle in the The
Royle Family. His acting credits span over 30 years and include many more
comedy and dramatic roles such as the lead character in Mike Bassett:
England Manager, DCI Charlie Wise in Cracker, and the poignant portrayal of
John Glover, father of Hillsborough victim Ian, in the Jimmy McGovern drama
Hillsborough. In the role of The Magic Mirror, Ricky will appear in 27
performances as TV favourite Jim Royle from The Royle Family, the TV slob
and couch potato will be declaring:- "Who is the fairest of them all."
On joining the show Ricky Thomlinson said:- "I am delighted to be part
of the Easter Panto with LHK Productions, it is a perfect starring role for
me, I appear in 27 performances and don't even need to leave my comfortable,
trusty armchair! Remote at the ready, this is going to be a barrel of fun."
Producer Lee Kelly said:- "We are absolutely thrilled that Ricky has
decided to be filmed to play the Magic Mirror, this really is the icing on
the cake of what is already a fabulous cast for our Easter Panto, Snow
White. It is going to be hilarious to have Jim Royle pop up from his sofa,
vest and all throughout the show!"
Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs will play at the Epstein Theatre, from 24 March
2016 to the 6 April 2016. The show promises to deliver the same mix of fun
and traditional pantomime with a fresh and current twist which LHK
Productions are famous for. Complete with sensational songs, stunning
choreography, the panto will feature poisoned apples, magical mirrors, a
brilliant cast and, of course, a sprinkling of panto magic… This
timeless tale, and 1 of the nation's favourite pantomimes, Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs tells the story of a beautiful princess whose vain and
jealous stepmother is hell bent on getting rid of her and becoming:-
"the fairest of them all."
After fleeing the kingdom to escape the Wicked Queen's evil plans, Snow
White seeks refuge with seven dwarfs in their cottage in the forest. Taking
pity on poor Snow White, the dwarfs allow her to stay with them until a
wicked spell is cast which only true love can conquer. Snow White runs
for 27 magical performances and will be the un-missable Easter event 2016.
