Your wish is our command – Rock ‘n’ Roll Panto rehearsals pics just in!

Your wish is our command… The Rock ‘n’ Roll Pantomime is back to rock Leeds!

The legendary festive favourite returns to City Varieties Music Hall from Fri 28 November 2025 to Sun 11 January 2026 – and rehearsal pics have just landed.

After the barnstorming success of Jack and the Beanstalk, Red Riding Hood, and Dick Whittington, this year’s festive favourite is Aladdin – packed with glitter, giggles, and good old-fashioned chaos. What’s more, Leeds’ beloved double act Simon Nock (Widow T) and Kenny Davies (Abanazer) are back, joined by a mix of returning stars and exciting new faces.

Written by Peter Rowe, this is panto… but louder. Expect dazzling costumes, riotous slapstick, and heaps of audience shout-out – powered by a live, high-energy soundtrack of rock anthems and pop classics. Think singalong bangers, roof-raising guitar riffs, and something for every generation.

But what truly sets City Varieties’ panto apart? Its cast of extraordinary actor-musicians who play every note live while singing, dancing, and driving the story at full throttle.

It’s festive magic – amped up to 11!

Aladdin plays at City Varieties Music Hall Fri 28 November 2025 to Sun 11 January 2026. Tickets are available here.
