Lily James trapped in a Zoom call with a beast? God tier Christmas chaos.
The world’s funniest and most star-studded pantomime is back! Lily James heads the cast as famous names from theatre, film, comedy and music gather together online to bring you a unique and hilarious adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, all to raise money for some very good causes. Joining Lily are Guz Khan, Sian Gibson, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Miranda Hart and many others. A follow-up to last year’s hugely successful stay-at-home retelling of Cinderella, which raised nearly £900,000 for Comic Relief, some of the original stars return alongside an exciting new stellar cast for a production that promises to be bigger, brighter and funnier than ever.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This panto captured peak 2021 British coping mechanisms: famous people yelling at cameras for charity while we all pretended lockdown was normal.
The 'bigger, brighter and funnier' promise was technically true—this production had more household objects as props than Cinderella's single mixing bowl era.
