Pantomime Cinderella at the London Palladium, with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as the Ugly Sisters and Julian Clary as the Fairy Godfather.
Cinderella opens at the London Palladium on Saturday 21 November, and it's a bit of a milestone for the theatre. The Palladium has billed itself as the true home of pantomime for the past decade, and this production marks the eleventh season of the tradition there. Cinderella was the one that brought panto back to the Palladium in 2016, ending a twenty-nine-year absence of the genre from the West End, so it's a fitting title to lead with.
The biggest draw here is the reunion of comedy legends Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, who take the stage together for the first time in seventeen years as the Ugly Sisters. They're joined by panto sensation Julian Clary as the Fairy Godfather. It's produced and directed by Michael Harrison for Crossroads Pantomimes, and they're promising the most spectacular costumes in Pantoland alongside dazzling special effects.
One thing to keep in mind before you book: this isn't tailored for young children. Under-4s aren't admitted, and the show uses pyrotechnics, loud and sudden noises, strobe and flashing lights, and theatrical fog and haze. If you're planning a family outing, that's worth knowing upfront.
