"Due to the length of the show’s run and the uncertainty and risk surrounding the Omicron variant of Covid-19, we have taken the difficult decision to reschedule the production to December 2022. The health and safety of our customers, cast and crew is our primary concern and given the current situation we believe that the best decision for this show is to move it to next year.

"Although this is hugely disappointing, we feel that by making this decision now, we are doing all we can to keep everyone safe, and to ensure that next year’s show will be even better."

A spokesman said people should keep hold of your tickets as these will remain valid for the same times and dates in 2022. If you cannot make the re-scheduled date, please contact your point of purchase.

"We would like to thank all our customers for their continued support and understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to our pantomime next year," said the statement, ending with "keep well".
