Town Hall announces this year 's panto

Sutton Coldfield Town Hall has announced 'Rapunzel and the Rascal Prince ' as its pantomime for 2022.

Production and planning has begun on the Royal Town 's biggest annual family show, which will run from 6 - 31 December at the heritage venue in King Edwards Square.

The pantomime will be produced in partnership with the Town Hall 's management by The Production Exchange, the company behind recent Town Hall successes Cinderella (2021), Aladdin (2019) and Beauty and the Beast (2018).

With a wise old owl, fire-eating worm, a rapping prince, multi-talented cast of actor-musicians and more, the family classic is a must-see for December 2022.

Whilst scripting, casting and design takes place off site, the team in Sutton call on community arts volunteers to help create front of house and bar theming. This includes creating a 'Green and Pleasant ' eco-friendly welcome.

Planners have also called for local crafters to get involved, to knit miniature Rapunzel or Rascal Prince wigs for the Town Hall 's Charity Mascot Dog Toy, Town Hall Tara. These toys help raise funds for the renovation of the Town Hall.

Tickets go on sale 29 June, with prices starting at £19.

Booking options include family tickets, opening night, relaxed performance and school bookings. In response for demand for mid-December nights for Beaver / Brownies and Community Groups, additional dates have been added this year to encourage the return of group visits.
