This joyful retelling of the classic British rags-to-riches pantomime tale returns to the Empire, now playing its 25th panto!

Performances at 1.30pm and 6pm | 291 Mare Street, Hackney, London E8 1EJ

The Hackney Empire Christmas pantomime returns for its 25th year, with director (and Dame) Clive Rowe returning to the stage for the 17th time! 

The Hackney Empire panto is iconic, and it has a fantastic team behind it (oh, yes it does!); written by the BAFT A Award-winning Will Brenton, the performance features original music and songs by Steve Edis (who has provided all the music for the Hackney Empire pantomime ever since its inception in 1988), with Alex Maynard playing the roles of Musical Director, Arranger, Orchestrator and Supervisor.

Kandaya Moore stars as Dick Whittinghton, with comedian Kat B as Thomas the Cat.

Price: £10-45
