CHILDREN'S VARIETY ADVENTURE
28 October 2012
The Children’s Variety Adventure follows the story of The Girl and The Entertainer as they travel through the strange land of Mysteria, trying to lift a 100-year-old curse placed upon the kingdom by The Wicked Witch. Along the way they meet many strangers, all weird and wonderful characters with their very own special talents – but which are friends and which are foes?
This fantastic Easter pantomime starring Children’s BBC TV Legend DAVE BENSON PHILLIPS (Playdays, Get Your Own Back, Fun Song Factory) and the animated MR BEAN character promises fun for all the family. Also featuring Smilie the Clown, the infamous dancing villagers, magic from the Wise Old Wizard, comedy, music from our resident girl group plus lots lots more, all accompanied by stunning live musicians - this frolicking laugh-a-minute, all-singing, all-dancing production is sure to be a roller coaster ride through pantoland. Suitable for all children aged 5 – 105.
