Hey ho, it's off to the big smoke we go as the King's Head Theatre stages this classic panto for Christmas 2026! Starring RuPaul's Drag Race UK alumni Victoria Scone as Dick's pussycat, Dragpus, and River Medway as Queen Rat, alongside a special guest star at every show! Now in its third year, expect an all-singing, all-dancing, all-terrible-punning adventure as good old Dick Whittington heads to Islington to make his fortune!

The clock is ticking, the magic is building, and Cinderella is taking over the Lyric Hammersmith in a spectacular festive adventure for the whole family! Award-winning writer Joel Horwood returns to the Lyric panto stage after his "wickedly good" Aladdin won over audiences in 2016, known for adapting The Ocean at the End of the Lane and I Want My Hat Back, his reimagining of this rags-to-riches story is bound to be as sparkling as Cinderella's lost shoe - oh yes it is!

Award-winning adult-panto company He's Behind You! returns this festive season with another gloriously unfiltered spectacle in Cinderella: Buttons Undone! Written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper, with an original score by Bradfield, don't expect the panto you know already; in this one the naughtiness is dialled up to ten and there'll be scandal, satire and humour that strips away family-friendly fluff in favor of pure, unadulterated hilarity.
