One of Llangollen's most famous young performers has picked up a glowing review for his role in a panto on Merseyside.

Shea Ferron, a member of the award-winning Johns' Boys male voice choir and star of many local stage productions over the past decade or so, is currently playing the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz At St Helens Theatre Royal until this Friday.

And he's been given a great review in Liverpool Noise, an online guide to the Merseyside entertainment scene.

The reviewer writes: "Shea Ferron’s charms the audience with his impeccable comic timing and robust vocal presence. His skilful performance radiates polish and friendliness, reinforcing the Tin Man’s quest for the heart he believes he lacks."

And of the panto generally, he says: "Directed by Chantelle Joseph this vibrant production of The Wizard of Oz embraces comfort and clarity, steering away from radical reinterpretation to present a heart-warming and family-friendly adaptation of the beloved tale."
