Dame Dorothy Do-It is looking for a lucky audience volunteer to help her bring a little chaos and comedy to the magical world of Beauty and the Beast. The unsuspecting gentleman will accompany Dorothy and the cast on stage at different moments throughout the show, helping with the action - and things just might get a little messy!
Beauty and the Beast ticket holders can nominate their husbands, bosses, brothers, dads, colleagues and friends for a chance to appear on stage. All nominees should be aged 18 years or over, must be seated in the stalls of the auditorium, and able to climb stairs and get involved in the action on stage.
Dame Dorothy Do-It said, “I’m looking for a lovely gentleman to join me on stage and help make this year’s Belgrade pantomime extra special! There’ll be plenty of laughs, lots of audience fun and a little bit of pantomime magic. So, who’s going to be my lucky volunteer?!”
This magical tale is guaranteed to delight all the family and bring a touch of magic and make-believe to your festive celebrations. Once again written and directed by Iain Lauchlan, this year’s panto will feature spectacular sets, lavish costumes and sing-along songs that make a trip to the Belgrade a truly unmissable Christmas treat for thousands of families every year.
How to nominate:
If you know a man who is coming to see the show who you want to get your own back on, please nominate him by emailing the name of the person you would like to put forward, along with the time and date of the performance he will be attending, plus the seat number and row he will be sitting in (the nominee must be seated downstairs in the stalls) to helpoutpanto@belgrade.co.uk. Don’t forget to include ‘Panto Nomination’ in the subject line of your email.
Please also let us know a little bit about him, his age, and who you are!
The (un)lucky man won’t know a thing about it until the delightful dame comes to find him during the show, so this is the perfect opportunity to play a joke on a boss, wind up your dad, or get revenge on a friend!
Beauty and the Beast runs on our B1 stage from Wed 18 Nov 2026 – Sat 2 Jan 2027. Tickets are available from the Belgrade Theatre website or from the box office – 024 7655 3055.
