The festive season made an early appearance in Liverpool when an all-star cast officially launched the biggest panto in town, Jack and the Beanstalk at the Epstein Theatre from December 11 to January 4.

ITV’s Towie and Splash star Dan Osborne is set to tread the boards for the very first time as he makes his panto debut as leading man Jack.

Also coming to panto for the very first time is the Fairy Godmother of Big Fat Gypsy Weddings Thelma Madine—swapping the needle and thread for a magic wand.

After entertaining audiences at last year’s panto as the Magic Mirror, celebrity hairdresser and beauty guru Herbert of Liverpool makes a welcome return as the voice of the Giant.

Brookside’s Suzanne Collins returns to the Liverpool stage as Mrs Fleshcreep and Grease is the Word’s Alison Crawford returns as Jill.
