WHAT KIDS
LOVE ABOUT IT

Panto is a Christmas tradition, and we’ve played the Regal every December since 2021. Rapunzel is a traditional Christmas pantomime: a fairy tale told with big laughs, catchy songs and a villain to boo, and the audience is meant to make noise. Teach the kids “He’s behind you!” before you go.

Meet Rapunzel, Dame Fanny Follicle, the wicked Mother Gothel and Fairy Dandruff in the Rapunzel pantomime in Perth cast list. Never been to a panto? Here’s what a pantomime is, and what to expect at a first panto with kids.
