The London Palladium pantomime for 2026 is Cinderella, returning to celebrate the venue's 11th year of modern panto on the West End. With an all-star cast, this is a lavish West End pantomime experience. It's perfect for adults, couples, and older families who don't mind double-entendres, outrageous comedy, and incredible star power.
On from 5th December 2026 to 3rd January 2027, the story follows Cinderella as she lives a life of endless chores and mistreated by her wickedly hilarious Ugly Sisters. With the help of the glamorous, sparkling Fairy Godfather and magical special effects the story follows the classic tale we all know: will she get to go to the royal ball?
This production leans heavily on meta-humour, double entendres, slapstick with bespoke stage sets, lavish costumes, dazzling theatrical pyrotechnics, and high-octane musical numbers.
An All Star Cast
Legendary comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are reuniting on stage for the first time in 17 years to play the Ugly Sisters. It's a casting coup that promises huge laughs, especially if you remember the days of the BBC's French and Saunders.
Julian Clary is also returning for his 11th year at the London Palladium panto: would this be the Palladium panto without him at this point? I don't think so. Julian Clary stars as the glittering Fairy Godfather.
He is also joined by returning favourites:
- Paul Zerdin as Zerdini
- Nigel Havers as King Charmer
- Rob Madge as Sequins
Cinderella is played by Hope Dawe.
Why Disney Fans Should Consider It?
The Palladium's famous for staging the most lavish pantomime in the country. Expect spectacular costumes, dazzling special effects, and set pieces on a scale that you're not likely to see in regional theatres. While it is a family show, the Palladium panto is famous for its sharp, cheeky, hilarious innuendo, making it better suited to adult audiences.
