eternal Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 As we celebrate Spring, sorry to drag this up from those cold winter days but thought this article, seen on one of the musical theatre websites, very interesting: Qdos Entertainment, the UK’s largest pantomime producer, has unveiled record results for its 2011/12 Christmas season with box office up by nearly £1 million on the previous year. The company produced 23 UK shows last winter, recording audiences of 1,216,000 and ticket sales of £21.1 million. Both figures were up on the previous season, which saw sales of £20.2 million and attendances of 1,157,000. This represented a 5% increase in attendance and a 4.2% increase in takings. Qdos chairman Nick Thomas said: “Pantomime has a strong place in the festive season and it’s clear people still want their families and friends to have a good time at Christmas which is why our business remains so buoyant against the economic uncertainty.” The company’s 23 pantomimes took an average of more than £900,000 each, with 11 of the shows taking in excess of £1 million at the box office. Meanwhile, Thomas announced that Qdos will stage 24 pantomimes this coming season, with the 2,300-seat Mayflower Theatre in Southampton added to its line-up. Advance box office for the 2012/13 season currently stands at more than £6 million. Seems our Christmas family traditions are making a huge hit.
