# Event Details - **Event Name**: **OPENING NIGHT** The 2025 RVT Panto, Growled - Beauty and the Beast Continues - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: It’s the 2025 RVT panto… oh yes it is! GROWLED – BEAUTY AND THE BEAST CONTINUES… Hello Tiddlywinks… The much loved, award-winning Royal Vauxhall Tavern panto is back for 2025, running from the end of November to the first week of January 2026 with a brand new show and a dazzling cast. From the team that brought you last year’s smash hit, Wolfed, plus the Offie-winning Tossed as well as Cracked, Pricked, Slipped, Rubbed and Goosed. This year we explore one of the most popular fairy tales of all, with our own twisted take on Beauty and the Beast. Written by Paul Joseph (PopHorror) and Tim Benzie (Solve Along A Murder She Wrote) and directed by panto legend Tim McArthur (Eurovision Your Decision), Growled is the hilarious tale of life for Belle and her Prince once the classic story ends and they face the reality of ‘happy ever after’. This magical story is brought to life by a stunning cast, packed with hit songs and more jokes (and clocks) per minute than any other panto. Don’t miss out. THE 2025 PANTO CAST IS… Lucy Penrose as Belle Matthew Ferry as The Prince Katherine Leyva as Villager Number One Robert McNeilly as Mrs Spout Ada Campe as The Inventorer Jo Wickham as Asston The RVT panto is one of the highlights of the year at London’s most iconic LGBTQ+ cabaret and performance venue, with a long history at the Vauxhall venue, in recent years, the panto has become more successful than ever, with most shows selling out and this year we have added more dates than ever before.
