UK Productions have a passion for pantomime, and produce shows for a number of theatres nation wide. They apply the same high standards to these productions as they do to their touring musicals. Whether large or small they all receive the UK Productions treatment of all-star casts in traditional shows backed by lavish sets and costumes.

Working closely with Wayne Sleep OBE UK Productions have produced three original dance shows, World of Classical Ballet, Aspects of Dance, and Ready Steady Dance, celebrating many different styles of dance and introducing new performers and choreographers alongside seasoned and respected guest artists. These shows have all completed nation wide tours.
