Rescheduled from 2020/21 Edinburgh’s favourite pantomime, and one of the UK’s largest, returns to the King’s. Allan Stewart and Grant Stott return to their pantomime home as Queen May and Carabosse. They’ll be accompanied by panto-favourite Jordan Young in the role of Muddles. Sia Dauda will play Princess Beauty and Nicola Meehan appears as The Good Fairy. Clare Gray returns to the King’s Theatre panto as Narcissa. Her presence in the cast is a very fitting tribute to her father Andy Gray who sadly passed away last year.
This will be the last pantomime at the King’s Theatre before it closes for a £25million redevelopment next year, during which time the pantomime will transfer to the Festival Theatre before making a triumphant return to the King’s in 2024 when it reopens. In tandem with the pantomime we’ll be fundraising to encourage audiences to invest in Christmas Future by donating to the King’s redevelopment and ensuring many more pantos can thrive there for years to come visit www.capitaltheatres.com/kings-future for more details.

A magical family adventure.
Costumes plucked from the most gorgeous chocolate box; Tchaikovsky’s score to transport you to a land of dreams; and a story lifted straight from the pages of a classic fairy tale.
We follow Clara on a journey through the worlds of her imagination, as she drifts off to sleep on Christmas Eve. She meets the dashing Nutcracker Prince, takes on the larger-than-life Rat King, and is whisked into the luscious land of sweets by the Sugar Plum Fairy!
This winter, banish the dark skies and enjoy a visual feast as we take you and your family on a fantastical adventure. With choreography by Scottish Ballet founder Peter Darrell, and live music played by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra, this ever-popular ballet is the perfect Christmas treat.

That’ll be a turn-ip for the books!

CEO of Capital Theatres, Fiona Gibson said:
“Last Christmas all our venues were dark so we couldn’t be more excited that this year each of them will be full of festive joy and enraptured audiences. Our King’s panto this year will be extra special as it’s the last before that beloved theatre gets redeveloped to ensure it delights future generations of panto goers. We’re honoured to be hosting Scottish Ballet’s most magical of ballets, The Nutcracker in the Festival Theatre. Meanwhile in The Studio we’re delighted to be co-producing a brand-new show for early years audiences in the shape of The Enormous Christmas Turnip.”
