Damien Douglas as Billy and Mary Byrne (X Factor) as Fairy Mary in the Longford Panto ‘Billy and The Beanstalk’
Longford's Panto is back bigger than ever in St Mel's College from Monday, December 19.
‘Billy and The Beanstalk’, starring Damien Douglas as Billy and Mary Byrne (X Factor) as Fairy Mary is sure to be a huge hit once again for Longford Panto audiences.
Lots of local talent takes to the stage again this year including over fifty members of Evolution Stage School.
Longford favourites Davy Flaherty plays Gloria (no man in the audience is safe!) and Valerie Sheils plays Baroness Daria, with Niamh O'Brien and Aoibhínn Macken sharing the role of Ariana, Sean Hendley as Grisly and Iarlaith O'Rourke & Conor McLoughlin playing Doom & Gloom complete the lead roles.
Tickets are flying out the door and because of demand five extra shows have been added. The Panto now runs until Saturday, January 7.
There are sixteen Panto performances and times are December 19 - 23 at 6.30pm; December 27 - 30 at 6.30pm; December 31 at 1.30pm; January 2 at 1.30pm & 6.30pm; January 3 & 4 at 6.30pm; January 6 at 6.30pm & January 7 at 1.30pm.
This is a great opportunity for families to see a professional Panto in their town. Free parking is also available.
Billy and The Beanstalk is kindly supported by Longford Tourism and The Longford Arms Hotel.
Tickets from €15 available from www.gr8events.ie
