Northampton's Deco theatre announces Christmas panto...and a bonus Easter one too

The Deco is hosting two pantomimes this year.

A theatre in Northampton has announced the pantomime that will be on this Christmas as well as a bonus Easter show.

The Deco’s Christmas show this year will be the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.

Princess Tahlia has an evil spell cast over her and has to seek a magic kiss from a Prince in order to take charge of her own destiny.

The theatre promises ‘colourful characters, knockabout comedy, show-stopping musical routines, magic and sparkle’.

The festive pantomime will be performed 34 times at the Abington Square theatre between Thursday December 10 to Thursday December 31, with two Christmas Eve performances.

On Tuesday December 29 the 10.30am show will be a relaxed and signed performance.

Early bird tickets for Sleeping Beauty are available at £12.50 until Tuesday March 31.

But if you cannot wait until Christmas for your ‘he’s behind you’ fix, the Deco has a bonus four-show pantomime during the Easter school holidays.

Dorothy, ToTo, Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow will take to the stage as they battle the wicked witch in the all-singing, all-dancing Wizard of Oz pantomime.

There will be a matene and an evening performance on Monday April 6 and Tuesday April 7.

Tickets are available for the Easter pantomime at £18 per adult and £17 for under 18s, although these prices are subject to change.
