Pantomime

Rumpelstiltskin

9th - 31st December 2023

The Big Tiny are back in Oldham with a brand new, magical, family-friendly pantomime for 2023.

Expect stupendous production values and a side-splitting script - reasons why Saddleworth's Panto has become known as...

"the best little Panto in the country"

Book now to avoid disappointment. 

"This is the real brilliance of a Big Tiny panto – it’s not JUST a panto, it has heart. The funny bits aren’t just funny, they’re hilarious. The dramatic bits aren’t just dramatic, they’re nail biting. The magical bits aren’t just magical, they’re moving and all of it is woven together with such craftsmanship and love that you leave feeling not only entertained, but edified." Saddleworth Independent

Running time approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including interval.

A look back at 2022's Aladdin.

Sarah-Louise Young

GENIE OF THE LAMP and PC WORLD

Sarah can be seen in her superb one-woman shows 'Julie Madly Deeply' and 'An Evening Without Kate Bush'. She's been a huge hit in Saddleworth already with her shows, and we know you will love her in our Panto too!

Dominic McChesney

WIDOW TWANKEY

It wouldn't be a Saddleworth panto without the sensationally funny, Dominic. He was such a hit with last year’s audiences, we are so delighted he's back.

David Herzog

ABANAZER

Direct from New York City, the sensationally scary David Herzog is ready to bring in the boo's at Christmas. David is a supremely talented musical theatre performer (and perhaps the first ever American Abanazar in the UK), we can’t wait for you to see him in action!

@dherzogactor

You

OUR AUDIENCE

The most important people in the theatre at each performance are you, the audience. Oh, yes they are! And our Saddleworth audiences are THE BEST! So come along and, in the age-old tradition, cheer the goodies and boo the baddies at the top of your voices!
