BOOK NOW FOR CINDERELLA: BUTTONS UNDONE!
LONDON’S TOP ADULT PANTO
Don't miss the hilarious return of London's award-winning adult panto queens He's Behind You! following last year's smash hit Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story!
Written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper
Songs by Jon Bradfield
Directed by Andrew Beckett
There's totty in town! Tennis champion Ivan Yassandvich is famed for his massive balls and now he's holding one in the resort of Lob-on-Sea, at which he will choose a bride. Hotel maid Cindy and her stepsister boss Mercedes are excited: it's not just the bedrooms that are showing signs of damp.
Cindy's set to meet her prince, and even her gay bestie Buttons can't mess this one up. He's sworn off straight boys: the rimming's always risky, and anyway, this isn't his story...
With everyone's favourite dame Matthew Baldwin ("sublime" - Guardian) and popular He's Behind You! stalwart Chris Lane as the siblings from hell, you'll have a ball at this deeply adult and obnoxiously gay fairytale pantomime. Book now and treat yourself to some summer love this winter.
