Potted Panto

The West End’s longest-running pantomime returns to the East End for a third Christmas season due to popular demand! Potted Panto brings you seven classic pantomimes in 80 hilarious minutes! Wilton’s Music Hall welcomes back the Olivier Award nominated festive celebration following two smash hit residencies in 2023 and 2024. In a madcap ride through the biggest stories and best-loved characters from the wonderful world of pantomime, 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. Gary Trainor joins the cast for 2025 alongside the show’s co-writer, Daniel Clarkson. Gary’s West End credits include Back to the Future (West End); School of Rock the Musical (USA tour and West End original cast), and Beautiful (Aldwych original cast). It’s all unmissable fun, whether you’re six or 106. ‘So silly it’s just one long joke… featuring a 3D journey to nowhere but tear-inducing laughter.’ The Guardian ‘The hordes of children fall around with delight at the mixture of sarcasm and slapstick.’ The Times ‘A show full of enjoyably terrible jokes, manic costume changes, buckets of poo and a spirit of anarchic goodwill.’ Daily Telegraph ‘A hoot of a show… Huge fun.’ Evening Standard ‘Deliciously festive fun for all… If all pantomime was this enjoyable, they’d have a convert here.’ Whatsonstage
