Book your tickets now for one of the best loved pantomimes in the South East!

Our relaxed performance is where the ambience of the auditorium and theatre 'rules' are relaxed.

This performance is ideal for people with learning disabilities, autism, neurodiversity, or anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. Audience members who need to leave the space, or come in and out of the space where necessary, audience members who may struggle to sit still or quietly may enjoy our relaxed performance.

House lighting will be left on at a low level so it's easier to see or move around when necessary although we do ask that the aisles and stairs are kept free.

A space outside the auditorium will be available, where you and the people you come with can go to if they need quiet time during the show.

We may make subtle changes to the show, so that people's needs have been considered. For instance, very loud noises or music might be turned down or specific movements or lines might be adapted slightly.

Finally, members of the cast will be introduced themselves before the performance starts, and characters will explain how audience members can ‘join in', in the traditional pantomime style, if they wish too.



West End Stars Join Sevenoaks Panto

The cast of this year's pantomime at The Stag has now been announced. Once again, joining everyone's favourite comic and dame, some of the best talent of the West End will be spending Christmas in Sevenoaks.

Courtney Stapleton, best known as one of the original Queens in the West End smash hit musical Six, will play the Wicked Queen in Snow White. Courtney also played Belle in the UK tour of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Eponine in Les Miserables, as well as roles in Mamma Mia, Bat Out Of Hell, Dear Evan Hanson and Love Never Dies. Courtney will joint the show direct from the new Leicester Curve production of Super You. Courtney is also an Instagram ‘van life' legend, and recently appeared on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.

Returning for her third panto season in Sevenoaks, Billie Hardy (The Time Travellers Wife, Chicago, Bat Out Of Hell) will play Snow White. Billie is a Sevenoaks Panto regular, having previous played the title role in Alice In Wonderland, and Wendy in Peter Pan, both at the Stag Theatre.

Fellow West End performer Michael Levi, who played Bob Crewe in the West End production of Jersey Boys, as well as appearing in Kinky Boots and Walk Like A Man, will also join the cast to play the Prince.

Courtney, Billie, and Michael will be joining the much loved panto duo of Ant Payne as Silly Billy, and Jamie Alexander Wilson as Dame Elaine Staige, who also writes and directs.
