Its production of Snow White at the London Palladium, starring Dawn French and Julian Clary (pictured), was its most lucrative show ever. 

In 2016 it put on the first panto at the Palladium for 30 years, with Cinderella. 

Qdos Entertainment was founded in 1999 by Olivier award-winning theatre producer Nick Thomas, who owns it with his wife Sandra.

As well as using celebrities, it is also known for its special effects.

During the 2018/2019 season, the company was in the second year of a three-year partnership with the Ambassador Theatre Group, which enabled it to stage pantos in the regions including in Glasgow, Liverpool and Bristol.
