"Oh no it isn't, Oh yes it is!"

The Exchange is promising a ball this Christmas, hosting its longest ever running panto in a new partnership with Ashby Pantomimes.

Opening on 7 December, the production is running for 20 days bringing a fresh and large-scale production to the local Twickenham venue.

Becky Shaw, Programme and Partnerships Manager, said: "this is a new era of pantomimes, we can't wait to share this vibrant new show with the families of southwest London and beyond."

The production of Cinderella is returning after three nominations at the UK Pantomime Awards in 2022, but this time with more spectacle of a striking set, mesmerising costumes and large scale musical numbers.

Jonathan Ashby, Artistic Director, said: "bringing it back for new audiences this Christmas feels very special. We can't wait to share it with families across southwest London."

With a sharp and witty script, the classic tale of Cinderella is met with contemporary twists, with Prince Charming considering abandoning royal life for settling down in Canada.

The announcement is met with local enthusiasm as the Exchange is offering early bird ticket offers until the end of May.

Shaw added, "our family pantos have a reputation as a must-see event in the festive calendar and draw in packed audiences year after year."

Casting and the full creative team are expected to be announced at a later date.

Early bird ticket offers are available until 31 May 2026, grab your tickets now.
