Building on the roaring success of past hits including Jack and the Beanstalk, Red Riding Hood, and Dick Whittington, Leeds’ ‘Grade A panto’ (Yorkshire Times) is back to light up the festive season at the world-famous City Varieties Music Hall.

This isn’t your average Christmas pantomime – this is a Rock ‘n’ Roll Pantomime!

Imagine the perfect blend of laugh-out-loud audience participation, hilariously cheesy jokes, and a high-energy jukebox bursting with iconic rock anthems and chart-smashing hits. And the best part? Every note is performed live on stage by a showstopping cast of multi-talented actor-musicians. It’s a festive extravaganza like no other!

Dramatic panto warning: Our Rock ’n’ Roll Panto contains loud music, smoke effects, flashing lights and possibly a few squirts too, plus loud bangs from the explosive action on-stage (we did warn you about the corny gags!). From experience, we don’t recommend our panto for children under four years old, but if you want to bring younger children, we recommend ear defenders, and you will be required to purchase a ticket for any child aged one upwards.
