Cinderella

Pantomimes

ALADDIN and his LAMP
 

Genies, corny jokes, audience participation – it’s panto time! Oh yes, it is!! Goodies, baddies, genies and even Bob the builder get in on the act in this crazy, lively show. The story goes on a crazy journey above and below ground!

 

ALI BABA + 40 thieves


Join Ali Baba and the four tea thieves in another TINSEL TURMOIL PRODUCTION. Meet aged belly dancers, nice and nasty members of the same family, goodies, baddies and all the jokes you’ve heard before! Can Ian “Diana” Jones rescue our heroes from behind the rock? Open Sesame – for the latest whacky panto!

 

ALICE in PANTO LAND


Alice falls asleep and enters the dreamy world of Panto Land. Expecting to be in Wonderland, Alice encounters Princesses, Villains and Idiots from a range of well-known pantomimes. With set pieces to allow extra people to be involved, expect all the old jokes and more (a pun fight at the tea party), audience participation (which villain is worse) and foolish capers galore. The ending is the most predictable ever - it was all a dream. But for the audience...a nightmare!! 

 

BABES IN THE WOOD


Robin Hood, Nurse Tickle, Maid Marian and a nasty Sheriff all steer us through a traditional tale set in Sherwood Forest where even Morris the Traveller is not all that he appears.

 

CINDERELLA


A surprise ending involving Fairy Liquid, Prince Dustin Dyson, Dr. Whoover and others. As an obsessive cleaner, our heroine looks unlikely to marry a prince… but a happy ending is guaranteed for her. But not for the Ugly Sisters! Great fun for everyone

CINDERELLA (unmasked).  

The storyline is fairly close to the traditional tale and there is a happy ending of course! Cinderella is a dreamer and longs for a prince to come and sweep her away. Accompanied by her father , Baron Skint, and the ever loyal Buttons (whilst hindered by DIY team of Bodger and Grabbit) she meets her two new stepsisters: Covidora and Fluella. A chance meeting with the Prince (in disguise) - and an even greater fluke that the Fairy Godmother was there too - our heroine overcomes adversity and appears resplendent at the masked ball. With opportunities for audience participation and set pieces (maybe choirs or dance troupes) you can be guaranteed a production with good family fun and no new jokes!

DICK WHTTINGTON and his cat


King Rat has taken over many cities of the world and a new fairy is appointed to find someone to rid London of the menace. In Nether Dumpling in the Marsh there lives Dick Whittington and his cat, Boris. Boris is allergic to fur! Dick makes his way to London to find his fortune and finds love as well! King Rat sends Dick, Dolly and Boris to Morocco on a ship. Whilst there, Dick finds the solution to all the rat problems. The Sultan rewards him and Dick returns in triumph to London where he is made Lord Mayor! Great fun for all the family with all the usual poor jokes, set pieces, audience participation and a load of bells! Enjoy!!
 
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
 
Snufflegobbler, the giant/ogre/villain, is up to no good. He is angry and looking for a family to ruin. He picks on the family of Dame Trott and her lazy son, Jack. Doc Marten, the wizard/fairy, sides with Jack and makes sure that good will triumph eventually.Jack loves living in the West. The WILD WEST set piece is great fun but turns about to be the wrong west!! The bailiffs, Egg and Chips, are sent to tell the Trotts that they will have to leave their cottage and dairy if they do not pay the rent. Odorous Egg, the owner, appears and challenges Jack to get a job by the end of the week or face eviction. He dreams of being a farmer.Claribelle, the cow, has to be sold but Jack exchanges her for a bag of beans provided by Mr Bean. Dame Trott is furious and throws the beans at Jack. The beans grow into an enormous beanstalk which Jack climbs to escape trouble. He ends up in space and Ogreland – the home of Snufflegobbler. The giant has captured all the villagers and forced them into making beans in his factory. Jack manages to help the villagers escape and, on return to the cottage, finds that the golden eggs can provide enough money for them to stay. Snufflegobbler and his cronies, Frank and Stein, are blown away by the beans!
