Liverpool's Epstein Theatre reopens this Christmas with panto starring Ben Richards

The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool reopens this December with family favourite pantomime, Beauty And The Beast, running from 16 December 2021-9 January 2022. 

Actor Ben Richards, best known for his West End appearances and television roles including Hollyoaks, Footballers Wives, Holby City and The Bill, will appear as Gaston, with full casting to be announced shortly.

Beauty And The Beast is sure to wow this Christmastime with a tale of love and kindness. Audiences will go on an exciting adventure during the family friendly pantomime. This is the timeless story of Belle, a beautiful young woman who falls in love with the most unexpected of princes, who has been cursed to look like a hideous beast. Will the Beast learn to love and be loved? Will the spell be broken in time for all to live happily ever after? 

Richards said:“I am really pleased to be back on stage in Liverpool, and looking forward to a great panto run to mark the exciting reopening of The Epstein Theatre.” 

Beauty And The Beast will be directed by Jane Joseph and produced by Regal Entertainments Ltd. The full creative team will be announced in the coming weeks.
