What it is

Crossroads Pantomimes have announced the 11th season of The London Palladium Pantomime, revealing that comedy legends French & Saunders will reunite on stage in the West End for the first time in 17 years in the magical rags-to-riches fairytale Cinderella.

They will join London Palladium royalty, Julian Clary, wand in hand as The Fairy Godfather, alongside Palladium Panto favourites Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers and Rob Madge, as London’s most spectacular pantomime returns to its most iconic theatre.

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders will reunite on the West End stage for the first time in 17 years as the wickedly hilarious Ugly Sisters.

The beloved comedy duo has kept the nation laughing since the launch of their hit BBC sketch show, in which no celebrity or Hollywood blockbuster was safe from their razor-sharp satire, right through to their recent podcast success, French & Saunders: Titting About.
