Pantomime will return to the Epstein Theatre this Christmas with the historic Liverpool venue inviting audiences to enjoy the enchanting world of Cinderella.
The fantastic, five-star festive family show will run from Friday, 5 December to Sunday, 4 January 2026 at the Hanover Street theatre.
Tickets, from £20, are on sale from www.epsteintheatre.com.
Beloved by generations as the greatest fairytale of them all, Regal Entertainments Ltd’s smash hit production of the classic tale promises plenty of magical moments along with spectacular costumes and set, brilliant choreography and marvellous music to get you up out of your seat.
Cinderella tells the story of a beautiful girl reduced to a life of servitude by her two ugly stepsisters. But when an invitation arrives for a grand ball at the palace, it seems all that could be about to change. With a bit of magic, and help from her loyal friend Buttons, Cinderella is transformed into the belle of the ball. But what will happen when the clock strikes midnight?
The show will be directed by Chantelle Joseph, with choreography from Nazene Langfield. Musical supervisor is Callum Clarke.
Casting is yet to be announced.
The Christmas pantomime forms part of the theatre’s hotly anticipated inaugural autumn season which is due to be launched with a special Gala Night on Friday, 19 September – Brian Epstein’s birthday – featuring local acts and celebrities.
The Grade II listed landmark, which closed its doors in June 2023, now has new leaseholders and a new management team which is promising a busy programme of entertainment which reflects the theatre’s century-long role as the home of local talent, national touring productions, music, comedy and pantomime.
