Join us for The Riverfront’s first ever production of Rapunzel, an enchanting tale where magic and mischief weave together!

Wicked sorceress Ceridwen casts a dark spell over Newport and traps Rapunzel in a tower deep in the Welsh forest. On the eve of her 21st birthday, Rapunzel meets Hector, sets about her escape and the adventure begins. Can the spell be broken before time runs out, or will Ceridwen claim the royal throne and rule Newport forever?

Join Rapunzel, Muddles, Dame Winnie Wiggins, our brave hero Hector, and a charming cast in this action-packed pantomime, where towers are tall, spells are wicked, and adventures are hair-raising! With dazzling costumes, stunning scenery, mischievous villains, and plenty of audience participation.

Be a part of the magic from 27 November 2025 to 4 January 2026. Will we get our happily ever after? There’s only one way to find out! Join us and let your hair down.
