A new line-up of Christmas performances has been announced at two Peterborough theatres including an extra week for this year’s panto.
It will be the first full Christmas season Selladoor Venues have run at the New Theatre on Broadway and the recently acquired Key Theatre on the Embankment and there’s plenty of fun for all the family.
Peterborough’s longest-running panto returns to the Key Theatre with a hilarious, fun-filled brand new adventure, Dick Whittington, and the popular show has already been extended for an extra week running until January 8.
Simon Aylin is back by popular demand as Dick Whittington and David Griffin-Stephens provides the laughs as Dame Fanny Fitzbottom. Perfect for the intimate auditorium this family panto follows our hero seek his fame, fortune and happiness in London Town. With help from the magical Fairy Bowbells and a trusted feline friend, can they stop the wicked Queen Rat from stealing all the sweets and taking over London?
In the Key Theatre Studio, younger imaginations will be catered for with a brand-new show for pre-school children, Santa’s New Sleigh, a festive play by Brad Fitt.
