✨🏰 The Team Behind Rapunzel 🏰✨
As the curtain falls on this years pantomime, we’re celebrating the incredible cast, crew, and staff at The Riverfront who made this year’s pantomime truly unforgettable.
While a few members of our amazing team are missing from this photo, it perfectly captures the heart and soul of what it takes to create magical memories for our audiences.
Across 66 shows and with over 27,000 tickets sold, Rapunzel has become The Riverfront’s best-selling pantomime of all time and a very special milestone as our 20th pantomime. None of this would have been possible without this extraordinary team.
It takes a huge collective effort to create a brand-new pantomime on this scale, and this success belongs to every single person who helped bring Rapunzel to the stage - from the on-stage stars to everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Here’s to the Class of 2025/26! We’ll see you next year for Cinderella 🩵🩷
