Online pantomimes to watch from home this Christmas in 2020

Can’t get out to the panto this season? Don’t miss out on the fun and watch a pantomime online from home in 2020.

With most of the country living in a tiered locked down this December, you and your kids may be disappointed to be missing your local panto.

It’s a total British tradition, and people from other countries have no idea of how funny it is to watch a middle-aged man in drag do slapstick comedy.

But don’t worry as you can still support some of the production companies who’ve switched their show online.

While you may not get soaked (thank goodness!), you can still boo the villains and shout “he’s behind you“!

So, grab the popcorn and get festive with some family fun theatre.

It was filmed at the Norwich-based centre of performing arts, and it will be a perfect way to introduce your kids to their first live theatre experience. You get three months unlimited streaming after first viewing until 31st March 2021.
