Alice in Wonderland Pantomime Script
Home > Pantomime Scripts > Scripts for Large Casts > Alice in Wonderland
Inspired by Lewis Carroll's original characters, this Alice in Wonderland stays curiously coherent even at its most topsy-turvy.
When Alice unexpectedly arrives in Wonderland, she meets the perennially late White Rabbit, the capricious Queen of Hearts, and Dame Duchess Battenberg, whose unpredictable icing bag creates comedy carnage as she tries to decorate the Queen’s tarts.
There's also the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, a trip through the Looking Glass, and a Jabberwocky that turns out to be terrifyingly cute. The Wonderlander Chorus ensures your Ensemble are busy throughout, and the Caterpillar, Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse can double with the Playing Card Guard if needed.
This is a truly curious panto script!
Cast Size: 14 Principal Characters, plus 5 Supporting Roles and Ensemble

Alice in Wonderland Pantomime Script Excerpt
DUCHESS BATTENBERG and the ENSEMBLE have gathered and are talking to the AUDIENCE.
DUCHESS BATTENBERG: Hello everyone and welcome to our up-side-downy, lefty-righty zig-zag contrariwise wonderful Wonderland. My name is Duchess Battenberg. I’m not a real Duchess; it’s just my mother got a bit enthusiastic on my birth certificate. I’m the Royal Baker on appointment to her Majesty the Queen. It is most fabulously combobulating to meet you all. It’s a marvel you came today because today is my un-birthday!
Everyone cheers.
DUCHESS: Ah, I see that some of you are not familiar with the term. Let me explain… You know how everyone is born on a particular day, which is their birthday, well, today is not that day, so today is my un-birthday. For me at least.
ENSEMBLE 1: It’s not my birthday either.
ENSEMBLE 2: Nor mine.
DUCHESS: Then it must be your un-birthday too! (Looking out to the AUDIENCE) And I dare say a fair few of you have un-birthdays today too!
ENSEMBLE 3: Shall we sing Happy Un-Birthday to everyone?
DUCHESS: A terrific idea, but we haven’t the time to sing to everyone, we’ll be here for so long it will be someone’s birthday and we’ll have to start again.
Everyone mumbles in agreement. Suddenly the WHITE RABBIT enters. He is rushing and carries a pocket watch.
RABBIT: I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date.
DUCHESS: Calm down Rabbit, you’re not late at all, I was just explaining…
RABBIT: But it’s the Queen’s Un-birthday today.
ENSEMBLE 1: And mine.
ENSEMBLE 2: Mine too.
DUCHESS: Ok, we’ve already been through that. (To WHITE RABBIT) Now calm down.
RABBIT: But you don’t understand, if she doesn’t get her tarts, she’ll be cross, livid, mad, crackers, bonkers and annoyed.
DUCHESS: Well, if you don’t have the tarts, you could always give her your thesaurus!
RABBIT: Oh please, I don’t have the time for jokes.
DUCHESS: Oh yes you do.
RABBIT: I don’t. (Stopping the AUDIENCE before they reply) And it’s way too early for that! Now if you don’t mind, I’m late! (Exits, hurriedly)
DUCHESS: Oh dear, that rabbit really is haring about!
