Content Warning
Pantomime is fun for everyone, however the production can have effects that are loud, humour that is aimed at adults and instances where actors may get the audience involved! Please keep this in mind when booking tickets if any of your party are younger than 5, or of a sensitive disposition. We pride ourselves on inclusivity and have scheduled relaxed and signed performances.
There are adult only shows (18+) so please double check the performance you're booking.
Performance contains, smoke, haze, strobe, loud music, audience interaction.
For the relaxed performances, several changes have been made to make the show more suited to those who prefer a more relaxed environment. The script is the same, but regular theatre 'rules' are relaxed, house lights will be left up, sound and lighting levels will be less intense, and you're welcome to come and go during the performance. There will also be extra staff and volunteers on-site to support. The Cheltenham Playhouse is proud to be welcoming to all, so if you have any further information, questions, or accommodations, please don't hesitate to contact our box office, who will be happy to help!
