Royal Court Liverpool’s Christmas show A Nightmare On Lime Street has lit up the telephone lines at the Box Office and has had audiences on their feet at the end of every show. Now the theatre has announced that the show will be extended until the 26th January, adding an astonishing 13 more shows to the original run.
The play, which stars Michael Starke, Jamie Hampson and Mark Moraghan, is written by Fred Lawless who has penned the last three Christmas shows at the Royal Court. The extra dates have been added following a surge in demand from the audience.
It has also been announced that Anthony Watson will continue his role as The Monster until the end of the extended run as David Gest has been confirmed that he is withdrawing from the show for health reasons.
Kevin Fearon, the producer of the show and Chief Executive of Royal Court Liverpool, said, “The audiences have been pouring in for this one and they have been loving the show. It is always a pleasure to be able to extend a show but especially this one. Everyone who has been in touch about the show has enjoyed it, we have had five star reviews and the cheers and standing ovations at the end of each night tell their own story.
Mark Moraghan will be unavailable for the new final week (21-26 January) due to a prior commitment. His replacement will be announced next week.
Tickets and information for all productions are available from www.royalcourtliverpool.com or on 0870 787 1866 and the tickets are priced from £13.00.
