Goldilocks and the Three Bears Pantomime Script
Home > Pantomime Scripts > Scripts for Medium Casts > Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Three bears and a bowl of porridge isn't much of a pantomime. This one runs a circus instead.
When Madam Meanie arrives plotting a hostile takeover of Dame Bernie Barnum's failing circus, three honey-loving bears make off with the honeypot and the money hidden inside, and an official known only as The Government turns up wanting paperwork. It's a shame Psychic Cheryl doesn't see it coming.
There's also an easy-to-stage and very funny slosh scene where Dame Barnum takes on the custard pie machine and loses. Twin clowns Charlie and Cooper spend the entire show building up to a deliciously daft custard joke that'll have the dads wishing they'd thought of it first.
This pantomime script is just right!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears Pantomime Script Excerpt
All the CIRCUS-ACTS have gathered in the Big Top and are waiting for our heroes to return.
JESSIE: Has anyone seen Dame Barnum? I’m getting worried about her.
PSYCHIC CHERYL: Fear not... I can sense her, she’s coming now!
GOLDILOCKS enters.
GOLDILOCKS: Hey everyone, are the others back yet?
SAMPSON: Not yet. But Psychic Cheryl predicted Dame Barnum’s arriving any second now.
GOLDILOCKS: Well, I am her daughter, so it’s an easy mistake to make.
Everyone laughs.
PSYCHIC CHERYL: Wait... I can feel her presence approaching…
RINGO enters.
GOLDILOCKS: Ringo, you made it! Are you alright?
RINGO: Just about. Where are the others?
GOLDILOCKS: We’re still waiting for them.
PSYCHIC CHERYL: (Confidently) Wait no longer, for Dame Barnum is here!
BARON VON TRAKMIND enters.
BARON: Blimey, those bears were terrifying!
GOLDILOCKS: I know, it was awful.
JESSIE: Yeah, but not as bad as Psychic Cheryl’s predictions, that’s three times she’s got it wrong!
SAMPSON: What are we going to do if she never comes back?
PSYCHIC CHERYL: I fear Dame Barnum will not return and she is lost to the forest forever.
DAME BARNUM enters.
DAME: I’m home!
PSYCHIC CHERYL: (Exasperated) I don’t know why I bother.
JESSIE: Did you get the Honeypot back?
DAME: No, and I don’t think we ever will. There’s nothing else for it, I’ll have to sell the circus to Madam Meanie.
Everyone gasps. There is an evil chord as MADAM MEANIE enters.
MADAM MEANIE: Dame Barnum, that’s music to my ears.
GOLDILOCKS: Mum you can’t, Madam Meanie is horrible!
