Goldilocks and the Three Bears pantomime to run at the London Palladium this Christmas
All-new London Palladium pantomime Goldilocks and the Three Bears, which marks the venue's fourth consecutive Christmas panto, is set to open for previews in London's West End on 7 December 2019. The highly-anticipated show will run until 12 January 2020 and comes after the Palladium's highly successful, sell-out run of the Snow White pantomime last year. Tickets for the Goldilocks pantomime at the London Palladium are expected to be in high demand.

Matt Baker will portray Joe The Clown in his London Palladium pantomime debut. Paul O'Grady's role as The Evil Ringmaster marks his return to panto after he starred in 2016's The Wicked Stepmother.
