Beauty and the Beast Adult Panto in London

From He’s Behind You!, the award‑winning queer panto company, this is an adults‑only romp blending huge laughs, original songs and sparkling design that’s anything but beastly. Book tickets for Beauty and the Beast adult pantomime now and get ready to surrender to camp, chaos and charm this Christmas!

What is Beauty and the Beast – A Horny Love Story about?

Step into Lickmanochers, a hilariously bleak Scottish village where sweet but naive Bertie - dutiful son to a domineering mother - wonders when Mr Right will rock up. Instead, he’s lured into captivity by a moody, aristocratic Beast with unruly body hair and a castle badly in need of a makeover. As snow blankets the castle, passions ignite in this enemies‑to‑lovers rom‑com that gleefully turns the classic tale upside down. With outrageous humour, original music and plenty of panto flair, this is a festive treat like none other - strictly for adults!

Created by He’s Behind You!, the cheeky adult panto troupe behind hits like Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! and Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper!, this production transforms the beloved fairytale into a bold, queer, festive rom‑com. 

Who are the cast of the Beauty and the Beast adult pantomime?

Returning to the Charing Cross stage is the “sublime” (Guardian) Matthew Baldwin as the Dame, a fan-favourite known for his performances in previous adult pantos including Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! and Ghosted: Another F*ing Christmas Carol

He is joined by Chris Lane, whose comic timing and charm have made him a standout in Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper! and Ghosted: Another F*ing Christmas Carol, with further casting to be announced.

Great fun! A lot of the puns are related to gay sex, so it's better if you know the jargon (and if you're not bothered by cursing). The actors are all good and suitably camp and the Dame is the star of the show - with incredible costumes! I'm not usu Read more

Adult Panto, based on a traditional fairy tale that has been adapted in a VERY original, rude & funny way. If a few swear words offend you, then this is not the show for you, but me & my companions loved it !!
