Candy in Pantoland at The Everyman

Presented by Promenade and The Everyman in association with Mockie Ah!

Written by Candy Warhol Directed by Des Kennedy

Friday 18 – Saturday 19 December

Christmas can be such a drag!

Candy Warhol is the world’s most talented drag queen (just ask her!) but nobody knows it just yet. After a series of career setbacks, she finds herself transported to a fantastical fairyland where she embarks on a queer crusade through the wonderful world of Pantoland.

Based on a 100% true story, and winner of the 2027 Tony Award for Best New Play (they already promised!), Candy is joined by her eccentric mouse Gus Gus and a host of familiar fairytale friends on a hilarious magical adventure like no other! As they battle to escape the claws of The Wicked Witch and her evil queens, Candy and her pals must face more drama than an Eastenders cliffhanger, more tension than a Traitors round table, and more camp chaos than a Housewives reunion.

Ireland’s first all-drag pantomime promises to be the campest show this Christmas season – Oh yasss it does!

Featuring an international cast, prepare yourself for huge laughs, jaw-dropping costumes, major musical numbers, spellbinding surprises, shocking twists and plenty of audience participation.

The ultimate festive night out, perfect for parties and celebrations, this is panto like you’ve never seen it before. Running for two nights only, grab your tickets now and prepare yourself for an epic drag adventure!
