Famous characters in mash-up for new take on pantomime classic

Panto is back at the Webster Memorial Theatre, with hair-raising fairytale mash-up, Rapunzel featuring Puss In Boots.

A twist on the classic princess story, Rapunzel enlists her bestie Puss In Boots (as well as her magical hair) to try to escape her tower prison – and the clutches of the evil queen.

And with “a lot of audience participation” promised, Arbroath’s panto fans can get ready to let their hair down at the family-friendly production.

Aaron Usher is returning as the dame for the fifth time, with Chloe Foston playing the evil queen, Rodney Matthew as the fairy godfather, Finlay Mckillop as Puss, and Eve Buglass as the beautiful Rapunzel.

The show will run from December 10-24 at the Webster Memorial Theatre, with adult tickets priced at £15, children at £11 and family tickets – for four people – at £44.

And thanks to a towerdrawing competition run by Angusalive libraries over the last few weeks, some lucky families will go for free.

JJ Christine, producer and choreographer of this year’s pantomime, said: “We look forward to welcoming everyone to see our fantastic panto this year, and also the tower-drawing competition winners and their families.”
