“Our Rock ‘n’ Roll Pantos are hugely popular and are now, in their fourth year, a Leeds’ tradition,” said Ian Sime, general manager at City Varieties.
“The incredible atmosphere has audiences dancing in the aisles and because the soundtrack is played live on stage there is a real party atmosphere.
“You won’t see anything like this anywhere in Yorkshire.
