Easter is very difficult for panto to be profitable. It's the time of year where families take holidays meaning box office isn't as high as christmas, you cant break even on just a 2 week run, most venues will already be programmed for Easter 2021 (especially the venues which Qdos operate in which usually programme 18months - 3 years in advance)

So the long and short of it is Easter won't make a lot of money for Nick Thomas, if anything it's a financial risk.
