Puss In Boots: The Pantomime

The festive season in Brighton is starting to take shape, and the Pavilion Theatre has announced its plans for this year's pantomime. Following the production of Cinderella last year, the theatre is staging Puss In Boots: The Pantomime. This particular show is part of the venue's ongoing centenary celebrations, marking a significant milestone for the historic building.

The story centres on the classic tale of the miller's son and his clever cat, who find themselves up against the antagonist Rumpelstiltskin in a bid to save the kingdom. The production is scheduled to run from 3 December 2026 through to 3 January 2027, with the show lasting approximately 120 minutes. James Jordan has been confirmed to play the role of Rumpelstiltskin, bringing a specific element of the cast to the stage for this run.

If you are planning to attend, tickets start at £13, though there is an additional transaction fee of £1.75 per booking. It is worth noting that the theatre offers a range of discounts, including options for schools, youth groups, parties of eight or more, and those under 16. WTM members are also eligible for reduced rates. For those who prefer to book well in advance, there is an 'Early Bird' discount available, provided the payment is completed before 18 July 2026. The production is aimed at families, focusing on a mix of humour and the traditional elements associated with this style of theatre.
