Snow White Pantomime Script Spotlight

The fairest panto of them all!
Snow White is one of those stories where the plot is so familiar that audiences can feel slightly ahead of it. Our version solves this with a Narrator who tries gamely to tell the story and is ignored by almost everyone, a Prince who spends most of the show disguised as a delivery man, and seven brothers whose names (Lucky, Dizzy, Happy, Slappy, Mappy, Pappy, and Clappy) tell you almost everything you need to know about the script's comic sensibility. There's a UV ghost sequence, a scene built around an enormous teddy bear, and a Wicked Queen with a Magic Mirror that speaks exclusively in rhyme. Familiar story, genuinely fresh execution.
Synopsis
The Wicked Queen seethes with jealousy when her Magic Mirror reveals that Snow White is now the fairest in the land. Determined to remain the most beautiful, she dispatches the hapless Sally and Simon to deal with the problem. Fortunately for Snow White, they are entirely inept, and she escapes into the Black Forest.
Lost and alone, Snow White stumbles upon seven bearded brothers who take her in and offer their protection. Meanwhile, a Prince, disguised as a delivery man, is quietly searching for Snow White, with Dame Babs doing her considerable best to complicate matters at every turn.
With help from unexpected quarters, the Prince leads a daring mission into the forest to find Snow White and put an end to the Wicked Queen's reign of terror once and for all.

What the script looks like in practice
The Wicked Queen confronts her Magic Mirror after an unwelcome verdict:
Wicked Queen: ‘I will not allow this, I refuse to accept it. I'm the Queen and what I say goes! You can't just change who the fairest of them all is; you can't!'
Magic Mirror: ‘Oh, my Queen you've gone deranged, I told the truth, and it's now changed!'
Who this script suits
Snow White offers a strong principal cast alongside real ensemble depth: the seven brothers alone give you seven named roles with distinct personalities, and the townsfolk, deliverymen, and ghost sequences provide plenty for a larger group to get their teeth into. The UV scene and the giant teddy set piece are both reliable highlights that work in most performance spaces without requiring elaborate technical resources. Groups who enjoy a script with a proper comic infrastructure alongside the villain and romance will find a lot to work with here.
What groups have said
'All the pantomime ingredients are there: ghost sequences, a UV scene, slapstick, knockabout and a touch of evil! A wonderful new take on an age-old story!' (Ilminster Entertainment Society on Snow White)
