Bristol Hippodrome Pantomime postponed until 2021 – John Barrowman will still be performing as the Wicked Queen

Bristol Hippodrome has officially announced the postponement of this year’s pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The show, which was due to run from 04 December 2020 until 02 January 2021, will now play at the Bristol venue for Christmas 2021/22.

An email sent to customers reassured them that John Barrowman would still be joining the cast as the Wicked Queen, with bookings and tickets being automatically transferred to the closest equivalent performance.
