Local singers, actors and reality stars attended the press night of LHK Productions’ Easter panto Sleeping Beauty this past Monday night. Andrew Wright reports.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire’s Leanne Brown, Brookside actress Jennifer Ellison and X Factor finalist Sean Smith were just a few of the names at the opening of the panto at the Epstein Theatre last Friday (April 7).

Sleeping Beauty, starring Lee Brennan and Tina Malone, has already enjoyed strong attendance figures and positive reviews.

There is a limited number of shows left to run.

Following their successful Christmas pantomime Aladdin,  theatre production company LHK Productions is looking for similar acclaim from their Easter offering, which will run until Sunday April 23.

Producer Lee Kelly said: “We are so happy to have the show on stage and in front of an audience. We’ve waited for this moment and now it’s time to share the magic with Liverpool! Come on down and have yourself a great time!”
