LONDON PALLADIUM PANTOMIME
10TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON
The London Palladium Pantomime
celebrates its 10th anniversary season at
the world-famous venue this Christmas
with the magical fairytale adventure,
Sleeping Beauty. The show will run from
6 December – 11 January.
This year marks the tenth year that
Julian Clary, Nigel Havers and Paul
Zerdin have starred in pantomimes at
The London Palladium, since the 2016
production of Cinderella. Rob Madge
made a triumphant Palladium Panto
debut in 2022’s Jack and the Beanstalk
and has since returned in Peter Pan and
Robin Hood.
Sleeping Beauty will make dreams
come true this festive season,
celebrating ten years since panto
spectacularly returned to London’s home
of variety. The West End’s biggest
Christmas show will celebrate the
anniversary in magnificent style, with
that age-old fairytale message: whilst
one small prick of the needle can be
deadly, at The London Palladium you’re
promised the happiest of endings.
Sleeping Beauty is produced and
directed by Michael Harrison for
Crossroads Pantomimes. As a producer
in the West End, his credits include
Titanique, Hello, Dolly! Sunset
Boulevard, The Little Big Things, Crazy
For You, The Wizard of Oz, Joseph and
the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,
The Drifters Girl and Gypsy, as well as
the production of Evita at the London
Palladium.
His production of Starlight Express at
Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre has
just extended booking for a fifth time
since opening last summer, having been
nominated for 3 Olivier Awards and
having won 7 WhatsonStage Awards.
Crossroads Pantomimes is the
world’s biggest pantomime producer and
part of Crossroads Live, a global leader
in the production of musical theatre and
