If there were anything that could suddenly make things in theatreland feel slightly more normal again, it’s a late-night announcement from Baz Bamigboye! And last night, he hit us with something that none of us were expecting.

Pantomime… at the world-famous London Palladium… in 2020

Oh yes, it is! Pantomime is back at the Palladium this year and whilst details remain a little bit vague, we do know three things. The (incredible) cast, the dates and the fact that tickets go on sale TODAY - Friday 9 October 2020 at 10am.

Pantoland at the Palladium will run from 12 December 2020 - 3 January 2021. It may be a concert/variety show format perhaps, that remains unknown. But with this cast, we are in for a treat no matter what. The cast includes Palladium panto favourites Julian Clary, Nigel Havers, Gary Wilmot and Paul Zerdin, alongside Ashley Banjo and Diversity, Charlie Stemp and Jac Yarrow with special guest Beverley Knight.

Watch this space for more details, Besties!
