Cabaret Grimm: Judgement Day! (A Cabaret-style Panto!)

A fairy?tale courtroom-based panto/cabaret where kids cheer, parents laugh, and everyone gets to be Jury!

This is a ‘by the community, for the community’ production, with a cast drawn from open auditions—local people of all ages, shapes, and kinds. It’s community theatre at its most joyful, mischievous, and inclusive. Perfect for grownups and children alike, it’s a chance to laugh, cheer, and celebrate the magic of storytelling together.

Inspired by the famous Grimm Folk Tales, this brandnew family-friendly production is set in ‘The Walfordstow Court of Popular Opinion’. Here, we’ll meet the nasty baddies, yucky mummies and dreadful daddies who’ll finally face the music as Judges bang glittery gavels in a courtroom where the audience plays Jury - and the villains get their ‘just desserts’.

In this colourfully re-imagined tale of modern retribution, WYSIWYG the Witch returns to meet her melodramatic match in Snow’s evil Stepmum, Queen Brunhilde White. Hansel and Gretel face charges of criminal damage - and we meet the (highly entitled) Prince Chaz of Chington; a feisty fairytale Princess; a glitchy Magic Mirror and the hilariously horrid Dame Honeybum. RAPunzel and Little Red prove the power of friendship - and the larger-than-life Lady Ya-Ya alongside her fabulous French friend, Annie D'Poo, also make dramatic entrances!

As tradition dictates, you can expect the lederhosen-loving Grimm brothers, Jacob and Willhelm to look down on proceedings with their traditional disdain for modernity.

Will the baddies be banged to rights? Well, that’s for YOU to decide!

With original script and song lyrics by NODA Awardwinning local writer Other Theresa and luminous tunes arranged and performed by Jane Morgan, live on the baby grand piano, this is a show you won’t want to miss!
