Show Synopsis and Our Production
Korda's traditional December family offering will be an original holiday panto that gives a fresh take on a familiar tale. Expect silliness for the kids, naughty jokes for the grown-ups, bad drag, great music, magic, mayhem, and loads of audience participation for everyone in a goofy, delightful, all-ages musical production to close out the 20th Anniversary season in style. Expect this original story to pull in elements from all of Korda's previous original pantos, including Cinderella: The Shoe Must Go On, Robin Hood, Hansel Und Gretel: Behind the Gingerbread, King Midas and the Golden Arches, Aladdin, The 'Obbit: An H'Original 'Oliday Panto, Peter Pan(to), STAR WAR(ped): May The Farce Be With You, Annie of Green Gables, Get Your Gun!!!, Pinocchio, and The Pantolorian.
"... the wink-winking and nudge-nudging will be family-friendly. Adults can enjoy the double entendres, but the slapstick and sight gags are fun for all ages." - The Windsor Star
