Polish your slippers, it’s panto time

What is Christmas without a rib-tickling panto to attend? If you’re yet to book your annual festive outing, then fret not for Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother of all pantos returns to the Hilton Brighton Metropole this Christmas. You can expect a bucketload of ‘oh no he isn’t’ and ‘he’s behind you’ as well as a host of live music, laugh-out-loud comedy and West End razzle-dazzle.

This is the biggest show to be held at the hotel, and with the cast including BBC Radio Sussex’s Allison Ferns and ‘the best drag queen in the land’ Miss Jason, it promises to be a dazzling performance.

You know the classic rags to riches tale, but this two-hour Cinders spectacle includes jaw-dropping stage sets, incredible costumes and some clever special effects. Plus the venue itself will be dressed for Christmas with seasonal lights and beautifully decorated trees.

And if you love panto, but prefer something a little (ok, a lot) less child-friendly, then for one night only (28th December), they’re putting on a sassy, no-holds-barred adults-only version of the show.

So polish those slippers, for you shall go to the ball!

From Wednesday 20th December – Saturday 30th December (adults-only show is on 28th December only); various times; from £8.83
