A fun and fabulous evening was had by all at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry last night for their panto press night. This year's Christmas production is Aladdin and is jam packed full of pantomime traditions and enjoyable entertainment for the whole family. I was first introduced to the Belgrade's seasonal show last year when watching Jack and the Beanstalk and even though they are on a smaller scale than that of the Birmingham Hippodrome or Wolverhampton Grand, they are definite rivals in the panto stakes based on enjoyment level.
Coventry's Belgrade Theatre has reported that its latest pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk brightened up Christmas for almost 40,000 people, making it the theatre's most successful panto in the last 10 years. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
