This weekend you can follow the yellow brick road to the Theatre Royal as Regal Entertainment announce their first of four pantomimes due this year.
The show will run from Saturday February 10 Sunday February 18 and promises to be packed with fun-filled performances, song and dance routines and lots of laughs.
The pantomime, based on the famous Oscar-winning MGM movie, is produced and directed by Chantelle Nolan, with musical supervision by Callum Clarke and choreographed by Nazene Langfield.
The full cast of talented St Helens regulars are Maddie Hope Coelho, who dons the famous ruby red slippers again to play Dorothy, Michael Alan-Bailey as the Scarecrow, Lewis Canning as the Tin Man, Benjamin Keith as the Lion, Hayley Russell as Glinda, Abigail Middleton as the Wicked Witch, and Warren Donnelly as the Wizard.

St Helens Theatre Royal Manager Chantelle Nolan said: “St Helens really feels like the panto capital of the North, especially after the response to our Christmas show Aladdin.
“You don’t have to wait long until the next one as we are back with our first panto of the year, a family show that has always proved popular in St Helens – The Wizard Of Oz is a much-loved classic story which continues to enchant each new generation in turn.
“We’ve got a fantastic cast, fabulous costumes and sets, and a great story to tell. It’s going to be a wonderfully magical half term treat.”
