Hi ho hi ho, it’s off to panto for Chantelle Morgan who will take the title role in St Helens Theatre Royal’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs this Christmas.
Welsh Valleys girl Chantelle said she was ‘extremely excited’ to be chosen to join the unmissable panto’s starry cast after open auditions were held at the theatre.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is due to run between Saturday 30 November and Sunday 12 January 2025.
Earlier this month Regal Entertainments Ltd put out an appeal for talented ‘triple threat’ performers for the show.
More than 150 hopefuls responded to the call out, of which 50 were given face-to-face auditions where they showcased their singing, dancing and acting skills, with Chantelle chosen after deliberation by the audition panel.
Chantelle trained in Musical Theatre at The Urdang and Emil Dale Academy and has shared the stage with some very well-known artists including Welsh star Luke Evans on BBC’s Luke Evans Show Time.
In addition to Maureen Nolan, Emrhys Cooper and Leanne Campbell – who are set to play the Wicked Queen, Prince Fredrick and a digital Magic Mirror respectively, Chantelle will also appear alongside St Helens favourites Lewis Devine as Muddles and Richard Aucott as Nurse Nelly.
Meanwhile the Seven Dwarfs will be voiced by Johnny Vegas, Joel Ross, Pete Price, Philip Regan (Queen of Scotty Road), Craig Phillips, Louis Emerick and John May.
