I guess if it is this, they could go very Greatest Showman in the marketing and the title could sell very well.
Also if it works well, it could put this title back on the map. Once Qdos took over from First Family Entertainment a few years back it was clear Qdos could really struggle to attract the same audiences to different theatres who just take it in turns doing the same show. Putting a show like this as the jewel of the crown could help expand their back catalogue

I reckon they could put on any panto there which includes Julian Clary with most of the same cast and achieve a near sell out. 90% of the content will be the same whatever the show title.
It's become like the Thursford Christmas show ( highly recommended, we never miss it !) and a must-see for many thousands. Long may it continue.

Palladium have updated their status on Facebook asking people to sign up for panto announcements and Baz said last week that he will have news this week - so seems likely.

Panto must be PETER PAN Website exists however isn’t fully published yet! As in the website is live? When you search ‘peterpanpalladium.com’ in google the first search result is that exact website but says ‘no info’ which probably means the domain is registered but is being edited in - so no, it’s not fully live.

I'd be surprised to see Robert Lindsay do the SAME panto two years on the trot... Although he did say at the Panto Awards at the weekend it was the most fun he's ever had on a job...

Of course it could be true, and it's not unusual for QDOS to move the same star in the same role around different cities, but given RL was in Richmond last year I'd be surprised if they were to have him at the Palladium in the same role. Also, although he is a big name to us, he is hardly a big box office name anymore like Dawn French or Paul O'Grady in the 'guest' slot of the cast.

Panto must be PETER PAN Website exists however isn’t fully published yet! peterpanpalladium.com isn't currently registered. See, for example, whois.domaintools.com/peterpanpalladium.com. It looks like it was previously registered for 2 years (I don't know exactly when), but the domain has been allowed to expire. You could buy it for around £10. It's showing that message in Google because it was previously registered. I don't have a paid domaintools subscription to check the history, but I imagine that the domain expired quite recently.

Isn’t Robert Lindsay touring with Prism during the Autumn. Unless it’s a short tour then he won’t be available

Don't think the Palladium would want to be sloppy seconds to Richmond for Robert Lindsay, would they?

Apart from a reprise of a couple of numbers from his stage successes of Me & My Girl and Oliver I thought Robert Lindsay gave one of the laziest performances I’ve ever seen in panto with his very laid back take on Hook. I got the impression it was all rather beneath him and he really would have rather been somewhere else.

If it is Peter Pan I really hope they cast someone else besides Robert Lindsay.

I would have thought the same, but then I did see that he attended the great british pantomime awards so I guess the experience can't have been that bad for him!

He didn't just attend, he won Best Male Villian. I assume to qualify you had to be performing in a pantomine, otherwise BurlyBeaR woz robbed! 🙂

Just a thought but with the trend of casting musical theatre newcomers in roles Jac Yarrow May be a a possibility for this year’s palladium panto.

Doesn't seem any announcement tonight. I have a bad feeling something is up. Getting late to announce it - could someone have pulled out? The later they leave the more some people will book another panto/another activity for Christmas rather than wait.

Also my dad only buys in person. He fears a late launch will mean by the time he gets up there the following week they won't be seats left for the performance we want (He won't let me purchase the tickets online.)

Hurray up and announce something. Getting sick of my dad's daily rants and conspiracy theories about lack of announcement.

The announcement is VERY late isn't it. I thought it was going to be announce around Easter at the latest.
There must be some issue as the producers would surely like the advance in their bank account! Perhaps the choice of panto depends on a big star name they can attract and a deal has fallen through.

Hearing that there's no panto at the Palladium this year. Don't Cha Wish Your Waitress Was Dawn Like Me - An Evening With Ashley Roberts runs in its place. She's had enough of her shift at the Adelphi.
