As entertainment gradually returns families can look forward to the resumption of Dublin's Olympia Theatre annual pantomime.

This year’s show is called Olly, Polly & The Beanstalk and will feature the likes of Fair City stars Ryan Andrews and Maclean Burke, TV and social media star James Patrice, and Dancing With the Stars’ Erin McGregor.

As the title suggests, this year’s panto is a modern take on the classic Jack and the Beanstalk tale.

"We’re really looking forward to this," says Ryan Andrews. "It’s going to be a fun show with a laugh-a-minute script, dazzling dancers and all-star cast.

"Most of all though, we’re going to have a brilliant time interacting with a live audience once again. You just can’t beat a panto crowd for audience participation."

Ryan Andrews plays the hilarious Olly, Maclean Burke is the outrageous Polly, and there’s also returning Olympia panto favourites, the West End's Rob Vickers (Les Miserables), Zoe Talbot (Riverdance) and Michaela O Neill.

Olly, Polly & The Beanstalk will run from December 22 to January 9 and tickets are available from Ticketmaster.
