The seventh annual West End season of Potted Panto has been scheduled to play at the Apollo Theatre from 17 December 2022-8 January 2023.

Potted Panto, written by double Olivier nominees and former CBBC presenters Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, along with Richard Hurst, is a madcap ride through the biggest stories and best-loved characters from the wonderful world of pantomime.

The cast includes Clarkson and Turner, alongside Jacob Jackson and Charlotte Payne, with Liam Jeavons and Kevin Yates making up the alternate cast.

Over 70 hilarious minutes, our dastardly double act dash from rubbing Aladdin’s lamp to roaming the golden streets of Dick Whittington’s London and making sure that Cinderella gets to the Ball. Not to mention the full-scale versions of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty which see the boys trying to work out not only how two people can play 7 dwarves, but also which of them will make the prettiest princess!

Potted Panto had its West End premiere at the Vaudeville Theatre in 2010 and was subsequently nominated for Best Entertainment in the Olivier Awards. It is unmissable fun, whether you’re six or 106!

The show is directed by Richard Hurst, with set and costume design by Simon Scullion and Nicky Bunch, lighting by Tim Mascall, and sound by Tom Lishman.
