The Spiel
Panto legend Damian Williams will return for his 19th year alongside EastEnders star Rita Simons, Strictly champion Ore Oduba, CBeebies favourite Andy Day, Damian's 'sister' played by Matt Daines, Northern comic Joey Wilby, and Bibi Simpson as Cinderella! with James Harrison returning as our Musical Director (Winner of Best Contribution to Music at the UK Pantomime Awards 2026).
Once again, the show will be written and directed by Paul Hendy and produced by Evolution Productions, with James Harrison returning as our Musical Director (Winner of Best Music at the UK Pantomime Awards 2026): the same team that brought you the smash-hit and award-winning pantos Snow White and Aladdin.
As always, the Lyceum Panto promises to be top-quality entertainment packed with theatrical thrills, stunning costumes, lavish sets, fabulous music and hilarious laugh-out-loud jokes.
