Rapunzel

About the show

Storyhouse is inviting family audiences to let down their hair at a magical new version of Rapunzel this Christmas.

The announcement of the 2026 festive show follows hot on the heels of major success with Beauty and the Beast which has just finished a smash hit run at the Chester cultural centre.

Audiences are being promised big beats, big hair and even bigger festive fun when the curtain goes up on the new Storyhouse Originals pantomime this December.

The traditional tale is being given a special Storyhouse glow-up with a show that is fast, funny, and packed with dazzling dance moves, magical mischief and an irresistible soundtrack of mega hits.

High in her tower, Rapunzel dreams of seeing the world far beyond the walls that surround her. But when a charming visitor appears, a hilarious adventure ensues…and Rapunzel discovers she has more power than she ever imagined.
