Rapunzel Pantomime Script
Home > Pantomime Scripts > Scripts for Large Casts > Rapunzel
Rapunzel is a show about hair, which quickly becomes a joke about hares, and then about a talking rabbit called Rascal.
When Gothel locks Rapunzel in the tower to harvest beauty potions from her magical hair, Silly Billy is dishing out dodgy hairdos to anyone who sits still, Bob the Barber follows behind fixing them, and Prince Leo does everything he can to avoid his royal responsibilities.
Rascal is the scene-stealer here, a fabulous part and an audience favourite who helps bring about an unexpected happy ending. There's an enchanted forest, a great deal of super-strength hairspray, and enough company scenes to keep a sizeable Ensemble busy.
This panto script is a cut above the rest!

Rapunzel Pantomime Script Excerpt
GOTHEL is pacing in her lair. DRIP and DRIBBLE enter carrying a tray of magical potions.
DRIP: Good evening, your beautiful-ness!
DRIBBLE: How can we serve you, your radiance?
GOTHEL: Give me my youth potion, I want to look young and fresh, and have skin smoother than a saxophone solo!
DRIP: Yes ma’am, right away! (Choosing a potion) Er… I think’s it’s this one.
DRIBBLE: (Taking it and putting it back) No, that one makes the young look older, we want the older to younger one.
DRIP: Right. And what if we give her the wrong one, or too much?
DRIBBLE: Then she’ll either turn into a baby or a granddad!
DRIP: Either way, she’ll be wearing nappies!
GOTHEL: Your incompetence is as bad as your incontinence. Now shut it, and give me my potion!
DRIP and DRIBBLE both grab a bottle from the tray and offer it to GOTHEL.
DRIP: It’s this one!
DRIBBLE: No, it’s this one!
GOTHEL snatches both bottles.
GOTHEL: One of these better be correct, or you’ll find yourselves swimming in a cauldron of disappointment! (She reads the labels) ‘Eternal Elegance’… Yes, that’s the one! And what’s this? ‘Liquid Laxative?!’ (She turns on DRIBBLE) You tried to feed me THIS?!
She thrusts the bottle back into DRIBBLE’S hands.
DRIBBLE: (Sheepishly) Well, technically, it does make things run smoother…
DRIP: And it’s very cleansing.
GOTHEL: Enough! I don’t know why I bother with you two, I should’ve left you in the enchanted forest!
DRIP: Oh please don’t, it’s really scary in here; there’s twisting paths, eerie noises, and an awful stench!
DRIBBLE: No, Drip, that was you.
GOTHEL: This Forest is all that stands between the pesky people of Quiffendale and the tower I’ve got Rapunzel locked up in. I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later some of them try to rescue her.
DRIBBLE: (Confidently) They will, ma’am.
GOTHEL: How do you know that?
DRIBBLE: I read the script!
GOTHEL: Don’t be such a smarty-pants! (Beat) Thanks to my enchantment no one will ever make it through the forest and find her!
