It’s here.
The Helix has officially announced this year’s Christmas panto and drum roll please, it’s Red Riding Hood.
Kicking off on Friday, 26th November and running right up until Sunday, 9th January 2022, the show is back on the stage with the classic festive cheers and boos of a live panto audience.
Promising to be yet another hilarious production for all the family to enjoy with eye-catching sets, song and dance, the show is bursting at the seams with magic this Christmas.
With a fresh new script and twists and turns, Red journeys through the magical “pantosphere”, to discover her true destiny.
Starring Ireland’s premier tenor, Paul Byromas the Wicked Warlock, while AIMS award winner Chris Corroon returns as Dame Lola, while Buddy and Laurel are set to be played by Colin Hughes and Aidan Mannion.
The panto was a huge success online last year, so much so that it will also be returning for primary schools only and can be streamed straight into the classroom.
Paul Byrom said: “I’m really looking forward to returning to The Helix Panto stage this Christmas. I’ll be up to my usual devilment for my role as the Wicked Warlock! Here’s to a great run with the wonderful cast and the TheatreworkX team.”
With General Manager of The Helix, Michael Brady adding: “We are delighted to finally open the doors of The Helix and welcome back TheatreworX Productions and all the families and fans of the Helix Panto for what will be the ultimate family day out this Christmas.”
Red Riding Hood will start its eight week run from 26th November 2021 – 9th January 2022, with tickets priced from €25 which are available to buy now from www.thehelix.ie and at The Helix Box Office.
