Pantomime Marketing Copy for Your Production
Copy for you to copy
Every pantomime we publish has a short piece of audience-facing copy below, written to sell tickets rather than describe the script. Paste it into your leaflets, your website, your programme, or your Facebook page, and change anything you like.
Please keep the heading. It credits the script and links back to us, which your Performance Licence asks for anyway. Other accepted wordings are listed in our post on what your licence covers.
If you'd like to discuss this further, or want something written specially for your show, please email us.
Marketing Copy for Every Pantomime
Aladdin by Nick Lawrence
Follow Aladdin from Widow Twankey's launderette to a cave of wonders, where an old lamp turns out to hold rather more than dust. Will Abanazar finally achieve ultimate power and world domination, or will Aladdin stop him before it's too late? Expect songs, slapstick, plenty to shout about, and a second genie dressed head to toe in denim. Book now, and let the magic out of the lamp!
Alice in Wonderland by Nick Lawrence
Go down the rabbit hole with Alice, into a Wonderland where the Queen of Hearts answers every problem with a beheading. There's a mad tea party, a flustered White Rabbit, a Royal Baker at war with her icing bag, and something enormous roaring in the woods. Will Alice find her way home, or will the Queen have her way? Book now for a night that gets curiouser and curiouser!
Beauty and the Beast by Nick Lawrence
Beauty walks into a cursed castle where she isn't remotely alone and the household holds surprises of its own. Can she see past the Beast's temper before the witch Malignia gets what she wants? Packed with romance, roars, songs, and a Dame who went into the forest for a reward and came back with rather more. Don't miss a tale as old as time, with a twist!
Cinderella by Nick Lawrence
Cinderella is going to the ball, if her stepmother, her stepsisters, and a fairy on work experience will let her. Will the slipper fit before the clock runs out? There are songs, jokes, friendships, and magic spells that work most of the time. Get your tickets now, because you shall go to the ball!
Dick Whittington by Nick Lawrence
Dick Whittington arrives in London to find the streets paved with rats rather than gold. Can he clear his name, win Alice's heart, and see off King Rat? Expect a sea voyage, custard pies, a talking cat named Eileen, and a Rat Pack of jazz-obsessed rodents. Turn again for a night of panto mayhem!
Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Nick Lawrence
Roll up for Dame Barnum's circus, where the takings have gone missing and Madam Meanie has her eye on a takeover. Goldilocks and the company are all that stands between the Big Top and closing night. Filled with clowns, songs, custard pies, and a family of honey-loving bears. Get your tickets for the greatest show in town!
Hansel and Gretel by Nick Lawrence
Hansel and Gretel have been snatched from a town-wide feast and delivered straight to a witch's door. Will Dame Kitty Kipling reach the Gingerbread House in time? There are songs, silliness, and more cake than anybody can reasonably eat, all presided over by a towering pyramid of profiteroles. Don't miss a night that's exceedingly good!
Jack and the Beanstalk by Nick Lawrence
Jack sells the family cow for a handful of beans, and by morning there's a beanstalk through the clouds. Can he rescue Princess Jill before Giant Blunderbore spots him? Expect songs, slapstick, lots to shout about, and a cow with attitude. Book now for an adventure of giant proportions!
The Little Mermaid by Nick Lawrence
Ariel trades her voice for a pair of legs, and her aunt Octavia has no intention of giving it back. Can Ariel reach the surface in time to stop the wrong wedding? Join us under the sea for songs, jokes, a Dame who moonlights as a singing teacher, and four sisters named after the contents of the laundry aisle. Don't miss a night out that's fin-tastic!
Peter Pan by Nick Lawrence
Follow the Darling children out of the nursery window and off to Neverland, where Captain Hook is hunting for Peter Pan and a crocodile is hunting for Hook. Will everyone make it home again? Expect flying, fairies, mermaids, songs, and a pirate crew with very confusing names. Book now for an awfully big adventure!
Based on the timeless classic by J. M. Barrie.
Pinocchio by Nick Lawrence
Dame Geppetto carves a puppet boy who promptly comes to life, tells a few lies, and runs away with the circus, and getting him back means going through a whale. Packed with songs, laughs, a running feud between Fairy Liquid and Fairy Solid, and a nose with a mind of its own. A night with no strings attached!
Rapunzel by Nick Lawrence
Rapunzel is stuck at the top of a tower, and Gothel means to keep her there and harvest her hair for beauty potions. Will she ever see the town of Quiffendale for herself? Expect songs, silliness, and more dodgy hairdos than you can shake a can of hairspray at. Book now for a hair-raising night out!
Robin Hood by Nick Lawrence
Robin Hood and his outlaws are all that stands between Nottingham and a Sheriff who's raising taxes, bullying the townsfolk, and planning to marry Maid Marian whether she agrees or not. Will the Sheriff's trap at the archery competition finish them off? Expect songs, slapstick, disguises, and some very well-prepared Girl Guides. Book now for a night in tights!
Sleeping Beauty by Nick Lawrence
Carabosse turns up uninvited to Princess Aurora's naming day and leaves a curse behind her. A hundred years later, can the kingdom of Slumberland rouse itself in time to save her? Wake up for songs, magic, plenty to shout about, and a herald called Gerald whose enthusiasm runs some way ahead of his ability. Book before the whole kingdom nods off again!
Snow White by Nick Lawrence
Snow White escapes into the Black Forest, where she meets seven bearded brothers called Lucky, Dizzy, Jolly, Skippy, Cosy, Snoozy, and Clappy. Can she stay ahead of Queen Devilia and her Magic Mirror? Expect songs, slapstick, and a prince attempting to deliver an enormous teddy bear without being recognised. Book now, and find out who's the fairest of them all!
