Panto is Hamlet in a nappy; Beckett in a bath of beans; Johnson in long johns. It’s gaudy and brash and all the better for it. It’s the High Art of Low Comedy

Joy Productions has announced the return of their celebrated Panto partnership with Broadway Theatre, Catford unveiling the Principal Cast and Creative team for this year's much-anticipated pantomime Sleeping Beauty. 

'Directed by Adam Meggido and Ali James, The London 50-hour Improvathon is exactly what it says on the tin - a show that takes place over fifty hours in London, bringing together improvisational actors to create an absolutely wild weekend.'

Playwright Mark Ravenhill joins the cast of The London 50-Hour Improvathon: The Wedding Party, featuring top improvisers.

The writers want so badly for this to be a soberly romantic mix between The Notebook and The Bridges of Madison County via Dear Evan Hansen, but only manage to hit the nails of its coffin. It’s unexciting, unengaging, and as deep as a rivulet. The characters are one-dimensional figurines, including the protagonist, whose only personality trait is her grief and inability to love anyone else but Stephen. 

Full casting has been announced for the world première production of the heart-warming, original musical Then, Now & Next, written by Christopher J Orton (My Land's Shore) and Jon Robyns (currently playing the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera) in a first-time collaboration for the pair.

Matthew Cavendish (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End and Broadway;  Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, West End/Edinburgh) will give audiences plenty of opportunities to boo and hiss as he plays Fleshcreep, and Will Beckerleg (Madagascar, UK Tour; Summer Holiday, UK Tour) returns to the Corn Exchange as he steps into the role of Fairy Fabulous.

On Tuesday 19th April at a star-studded ceremony at the Trafalgar Theatre in London's West End, the winners of the 2022 Pantomime Awards in association with Butlin's were revealed.
