Linda Robson to head St Helens Christmas panto cast

Linda Robson is set to star in panto at St Helens this Christmas.

The Birds of a Feather actress and Loose Women regular will play the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at the town’s Theatre Royal.

The Regal Entertainments panto is scheduled to run from December 5 to January 3, 2021.

And in an ‘Early Birds of a Feather’ offer on adult tickets bought before the end of May, the theatre will also be offering a whole performance complementary to NHS workers.

For every adult ticket bought this month (for selected performances before December 20 or after December 30) an adult ticket will go free to an NHS worker. Just quote CINDERS when booking.

Linda Robson said today: “Pantomime is something very dear to me and I absolutely love it. I’ve played both goodies and baddies over the years, and I thrive on the feedback I receive from family audiences.

“I have lots of friends in the area and I can’t wait to wave my magic wand and bring a bit of Christmas cheer to everyone in St Helens.”

St Helens Theatre Royal manager Chantelle Nolan added: “We’re delighted to announce that Linda Robson will be playing the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella.

“She’s a well-known and much-loved actress and we cannot wait to welcome her to St Helens. There are still plenty more cast announcements to come.

“We're continually monitoring the situation regarding the coronavirus and following the advice and guidelines from the Government’s experts and public health agencies. The health of our audiences, staff and performers is our top priority. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the theatre very soon.”
