I've had an email from a producing theatre that does its own panto in house asking me to rate which aspects of a panto are most important to me so I assume they are trying to work out which bits they should concentrate on.
They do say they won't announce until October but it is a glimmer of hope there might be something.

The York Theatre Royal panto, the first under the new arrangement with Evolution, has been postponed until 2021. The show will not only go on though, it will go on the road, with plans to stage 'a' panto in all 21 council wards in the city. A vote will be taken beforehand, with the audience deciding from a choice of three.

The National is doing a panto! A reworking of Cariad Lloyd and Jude Christian's Dick Whittington staged at the Lyric Hammersmith a few years ago. I am absolutely booking for this one! I loved that panto so much I saw it twice!

The great Ben Roddy will be performing in a panto at The Marlowe Canterbury this year after all, in a specially written production called Nurse Nellie Saves The Day:

Maybe some of the other will too, but that's at least two of Evolution's venues that have announced the show will go on, in a different format, this Christmas. Good for them!

They do say they won't announce until October but it is a glimmer of hope there might be something. It was Nottingham Playhouse and they have indeed announced they are indeed doing something. It is going to be 75mins straight through and available either socially distanced live or on-demand. nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk/whats-on/playhouse-panto/Interestingly it is written by the current Artistic Director. They are normally written by the former Artistic Director as will next years (postponed from this) who is in his eighties so I wonder if they are doing a little bit of sucession planning to avoid the mess that happened in York? |

By my count this is only the 2nd announced under the Qdos and national lottery tie in. Do we think we will get anymore? It seems to be getting very very late in the year to be organising anything. |

These are going to need super disciplined casts aren’t they? 3 shows a day, living in a bubble, no panto partying for fear of bringing something back to the rest. Some sort of first? 😁
