Aladdin Pantomime Script Excerpt
The EMPRESS has gathered PRINCESS JASMINE and the ENSEMBLE for an important celebration.
EMPRESS: Thank you everyone for gathering today as we celebrate the engagement of my beautiful daughter, Princess Jasmine. A number of suitors have travelled from far and wide to be here and, hopefully, one of them will make my daughter very happy indeed.
PRINCESS JASMINE pulls the EMPRESS to one side.
JASMINE: I don’t want to marry some prince from a far-off land.
EMPRESS: But you have to. You must marry a prince from somewhere and you’ve already rejected all the local princes.
JASMINE: But what if I don’t want to marry a prince?
EMPRESS: It’s tradition. I married a prince and it was the best night of my life. We partied like it was 1999!
The EMPRESS turns to the GUARDS.
EMPRESS: Which princes are coming today?
GUARD 1: The first prince is Prince Tardy.
There is a fanfare. Everyone looks around but no one enters.
EMPRESS: Where is he?
GUARD 1: He hasn’t arrived yet!
EMPRESS: Very well. Who’s next?
GUARD 2: May I present Prince Invisible.
A fanfare plays. Again everyone looks around but no one enters.
EMPRESS: Is he late as well?
GUARD 2 indicates an empty space on the stage.
GUARD 2: No Empress, he’s standing right here.
EMPRESS: I see. Or rather I don’t see. (Beat) Are there any other princes coming today?
GUARD 1: Unfortunately Prince Not-Attending can’t make it and Prince Google-Maps seems to have got lost.
JASMINE: I don’t know why we have to do this every few weeks. I don’t want to marry any of them and even if I did none of them are here.
EMPRESS: Prince Invisible is here. He seems like a lovely chap.
JASMINE: Sorry mum, I just don’t see it. (Beat) I don’t want to get married to a prince I’ve only just met. I want to fall in love with someone who loves me back!
