How to join in the fun with an interactive online pantomime

Audiences across the land will be able to boo, laugh, cheer and shout in an interactive online pantomime premiering in the UK this Christmas.

Chris Rankin, best known as Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films, will be joining the cast of the show, which will be performed live.

Chris will play the Fairy Godfather in the new production of Cinderella.

Chris said: “I am over the moon to be working on this innovative production that will give the audience the feeling that they are sitting in the theatre itself as the actors perform.”

Daniel Coll, who is directing the show and is one of its creators, said: “Panto audiences want to feel they are taking part and in an effort to beat Covid we have created a way to do that from home.”

In this live show, the audience takes control of many of the usual reactions a theatre audience would. By pressing buttons that trigger the sounds in the studio, they get to interact as if they were in the theatre itself.
