Puss in Boots allows audience to follow the charming tale of Jack the Miller’s son who, with the help of his witty and clever feline friend, Puss in Boots, the Good Fairy and a host of other colourful characters embarks on a heart-warming adventure to defeat the menacing Ogre Grimgrab and win the heart of Princess Esmerelda. The story is laced with classic pantomime ingredients, ensuring a memorable and joyous experience for the entire family.
“We can’t wait to share a stage full of Christmas fun with audiences,” said director Gillian Jones of Two Tall Ladies.
In keeping with the rich tradition of British Christmas pantomimes, Puss in Boots at the Playhouse Theatre promises an unforgettable experience. Audiences can look forward to classic elements such as a dame played by a man (Queen Wendy, the mother of Princess Esmerelda in this production), ballet, enchanting songs performed by the chorus and principal cast, and, of course, enthusiastic audience participation. Get ready to shout, “They’re behind you!” and “Oh, yes he does!” as you join in the festivities and cheer for the heroes while booing the villains.
“Come along with the whole family and be prepared to laugh, participate, and sing along,” says Gretel Schulze-le Roux, the other half of the Two Tall Ladies directing duo.
