Coronation Street Star Joins Marine Hall Panto Cast
While it may only be summer, a giant beanstalk is already beginning to grow in Fleetwood as the cast is announced for this year's festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk
Swapping the Rovers Return for Marine Hall, Coronation Street star Connor McIntyre is heading to Fleetwood this Christmas.
While it may only be summer, a giant beanstalk is already beginning to grow in Fleetwood as the cast is announced for this year's festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Best known for his award-winning portrayal of villain Pat Phelan in Coronation Street, Connor McIntyre will take on the role of the wonderfully wicked Fleshcreep when Jack and the Beanstalk comes to Marine Hall this Christmas.
Connor is no stranger to playing the perfect baddie. His role in Coronation Street earned him multiple British Soap Awards, including Villain of the Year, while his wider television career has seen him appear in Wire in the Blood, Casualty and Drop Dead Gorgeous.
Joining Connor on stage will be familiar faces for Fleetwood audiences. Popular panto performer Ben Sherlock takes on the title role of Jack and local favourite Wayne Morgan Williams returns as the larger-than-life Dame Trott. The role of Fairy Feebee will see familiar face Stacey Coleman return and Jill will be played by Chelsey Morgan, who makes her Marine Hall pantomime debut.
Councillor Lynne Bowen said:
"It's fantastic to see Marine Hall continuing to attract well-known stars to Fleetwood while also showcasing the talented performers our audiences know and love. With a brilliant mix of new faces and returning favourites, Jack and the Beanstalk promises to be a giant of a show and a wonderful festive treat for the whole family."
Packed with laughs, adventure, music and plenty of audience participation, Jack and the Beanstalk is set to be one of Fleetwood's biggest festive attractions this Christmas.
Jack and the Beanstalk runs at Marine Hall from Sunday 27 December to Thursday 31 December, (schools performances 7- 10 Dec) with a special cheeky adults-only performance on 30 December.
