The most magical time of the year is almost upon us which can mean only one thing to parents of preschoolers, a new CBeebies Christmas Panto. The festive performance screens on the channel in the lead up to Christmas, but before that the really keen can watch it in cinemas across the UK from the 2nd December 2022. This years show is CBeebies Panto Dick Whittington and His Cat, a CBeebies re-versioning of the classic tale. Complete with catchy songs, festive fun, and a host of CBeebies stars, the film will be a theatrical treat for the whole family.
Recorded in front of a live audience at Eastbourne’s Congress Theatre Dick Whittington and His Cat stars a number of CBeebies favourites including Justin Fletcher as Lord Mayor, Ben Cajee as Dick Whittington and Alex Phelps as his friend Lucky the Cat. The audience will join our heroes as they travel to London for the Lord Mayor’s Christmas parade, only to discover a trio of cheeky rats are intent on ruining everyone’s fun. Can Dick and his cat save the parade with the help of all their CBeebies Friends? The CBeebies Panto will be coming to cinemas across the UK and EIRE from 2nd December to ensure the whole family can celebrate the festive period with lots of CBeebies magic. Check out the first teaser trailer below:
As an extra incentive, anyone that ventures to the cinemas will not only get an advance viewing of the show, they’ll also be treated to some exclusive footage and songs. We covered last year’s Panto, The Night Before Christmas and loved every feel-good moment and this year’s looks to be even more festive.
Experience the magic of the CBeebies Panto on the BIG SCREEN as it hits cinemas across the UK from 2nd December 2022. The CBeebies Panto will also be showing at select Encore screenings throughout December, so keep an eye out at your local cinema!
