Rock 'n' roll panto announced for 2021 at Leeds City Varieties Music Hall

The news comes on the back of the announcement that Leeds’ oldest theatre will reopen for the first time in six months from Friday, October 9, with a programme of film presented in collaboration with sister venue Hyde Park Picture House.

“Our Rock ’n’ Roll Pantos have been extremely popular since they were first introduced in 2011 and have grown year on year to become a Christmas tradition for so many families in Leeds and beyond.”

A very different format to the traditional Christmas pantomime, Rock ’n’ Roll Pantos mix traditional elements of audience participation and corny gags with a jukebox full of classic rock anthems and chart-toppers - all performed live on stage by an ultra-talented cast of actor-musicians. Be sure to keep your wits about you, or you may just get rocked by the legendary Boulder Battle!

Beauty and the Beast The Rock ‘n’ Roll Panto is at City Varieties Music Hall from Friday, November 26, 2021 to Sunday January 9, 2022.
