Snow White Pantomime Script
Home > Pantomime Scripts > Scripts for Large Casts > Snow White
Snow White gets one of panto's great villain roles: an evil Queen with a magic mirror and a pathological need for reassurance.
When Queen Devilia sets out to be rid of her stepdaughter for good, Snow White escapes to a château full of bearded brothers, Dame Babs tries to bake a cake with more hindrance than help from Sally and Simon, and Prince Frederic spends most of the show disguised as a delivery man.
The scene everyone remembers is Dame Babs pouring her heart out to an enormous teddy bear, not having noticed the prince sitting behind it. The seven brothers don't appear until the end of Act One, so they can be adults, children or a mix of both, and can be in the Ensemble until then.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, this is the finest panto of them all!
Cast Size: 15 Principal Characters, plus 2 Supporting Roles and Ensemble
Approximate Running Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes plus Interval

“All the pantomime ingredients are there: ghost sequences, a UV scene, slapstick, knockabout and a touch of evil.”

Snow White Pantomime Script Excerpt
QUEEN DEVILIA is in the Throne Room, determined to prove to the AUDIENCE that she is the fairest in the land.
She goes to the mirror frame and claps her hands twice to summon the MAGIC MIRROR.
QUEEN DEVILIA: Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror!
The MAGIC MIRROR appears in the mirror frame.
MAGIC MIRROR: If you call, I will appear, why is it you asked me here?
QUEEN DEVILIA: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
MAGIC MIRROR: Again the same as I have seen, the fairest? That is you, my Queen.
QUEEN DEVILIA: (To the AUDIENCE, thrilled) See, it’s me! The Mirror never lies. (Beat) Still don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll ask another one. (To the MAGIC MIRROR) Mirror, mirror, say to me, the numbers for the lottery.
MAGIC MIRROR: (À la lottery announcer) Well, Your Majesty, the balls are out and the winning numbers are… 1, 13, 17, 27, 35, and 48. The bonus ball is 22!
A member of the ENSEMBLE runs across the stage waving the winning ticket.
LOTTERY WINNER: I’ve won, I’ve won! I can’t believe it! (Etc. until offstage)
QUEEN DEVILIA: (To the AUDIENCE, showing off) See? I’ll ask again. Mirror, mirror, do your bit, tell me who is really fit?
MAGIC MIRROR: Once again, Your Maj, it’s true, the fairest in the land is you.
QUEEN DEVILIA: Oh, I love this game! Again, again… Mirror, mirror, look at me, of all the girls, who is beauty?
MAGIC MIRROR: I must say you are too vain, for beauty is now not the same.
QUEEN DEVILIA: (Outraged. Contrasting to her previous demeanour) What? You’re lying! It can’t be anyone else! I’m the fairest in the land! It’s me! Me! Me!
MAGIC MIRROR: Two mins ago it was you, but the fairest is now someone new.
QUEEN DEVILIA: (She fumes with rage) What?! You can’t just change who the fairest in the kingdom is; you can’t!
MAGIC MIRROR: Oh, my Queen, you’ve gone deranged, I told the truth, and it’s now changed!
QUEEN DEVILIA: And who is this newly fair and beautiful person? Tell me now, or I’ll smash you into a thousand pieces!
MAGIC MIRROR: (Pedantically) You’ll get no answer, not a line, if your question does not rhyme!
QUEEN DEVILIA: Tell me now, or I’ll sell you on eBay!
MAGIC MIRROR: You can rant and rave and shout and squeal, but unless you rhyme my lips are sealed.
QUEEN DEVILIA: (Irritably) Fine. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
MAGIC MIRROR: It’s a truth that you won’t like. The fairest girl is now Snow White!
QUEEN DEVILIA: Snow White?! That little brat! I should have known it would be her; it’s always been her! I think it’s time I showed her who’s boss!
