Rapunzel - Riverfront Panto 2025/26

Join us at The Riverfront Theatre for an enchanting tale where magic and mischief weave together, for a brand-new pantomime in Newport, Rapunzel!

King Derek and Queen Dorothy strike a terrible deal with a wicked sorceress, leaving their beloved daughter, Rapunzel, trapped in a tall tower deep in the Welsh forest. When Rapunzel uncovers the truth about her past she sets about her escape and adventure ensues. Can the spell be broken or will the magic keep her locked away forever?

Join Rapunzel, a brave prince, your favourite comedy characters and a charming cast in this action-packed pantomime, where towers are tall, spells are wicked, and adventures are hair-raising! With dazzling costumes, stunning scenery, mischievous villains, and plenty of audience participation, this is one show you won’t want to miss!

Be a part of the magic from 27 November 2025 to 4 January 2026. Will we get our happily ever after? There’s only one way to find out! Join us and let your hair down.
