SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs remains one of the most popular and enduring of all pantomimes, though it actually only became one following Disney's film of 1937, making it a relative youngster in panto terms.  

As you'd expect, our version of the story makes the most of the great contrast between the sweetness of Snow White and the wickedness of her stepmother, the Wicked Queen, as well as featuring some excellent material for chorus members, and some truly musical dwarfs...




SCRIPT SAMPLE


In this scene, the WICKED QUEEN has asked her MAGIC MIRROR for suggestions for getting rid of SNOW WHITE. She is so preoccupied in her scheming, she doesn’t notice that NURSE NELLY is also in the mirror and is chipping in to the conversation...

MAGIC MIRROR
Serious suggestions coming up, Your Majesty.  

NURSE NELLY
Why don’t you just leave Snow White alone?

WICKED QUEEN
What? And not be the fairest of them all? Unthinkable. I said serious suggestions, remember!

MAGIC MIRROR
Throw her off the Palace wall?

WICKED QUEEN
Tempting, but imagine what the people will say about me.

NURSE NELLY
You’re an evil, horrible stepmother, and you should be ashamed of yourself!

WICKED QUEEN
That’s exactly what they’d say! 

MAGIC MIRROR
You need a plan that will make you look completely blameless.

WICKED QUEEN
Absolutely. And give Snow White exactly what she deserves.

NURSE NELLY
I know what you deserve…

WICKED QUEEN
To be the fairest of them all.

NURSE NELLY
…a great big kick up the bum!

WICKED QUEEN
Oh, that’s not nearly deadly enough for Snow White. Get your act together – I need better ideas than that!

MAGIC MIRROR
(to NURSE NELLY) Will you please stop pushing me around?

WICKED QUEEN
I’ll push you around if I want to. I’m the queen!

NURSE NELLY
(to the WICKED QUEEN) You’re nothing but a big bully.

WICKED QUEEN
Yes, and that, as well.  

MAGIC MIRROR
You could feed her to the crocodiles.

WICKED QUEEN
Far too crude!

NURSE NELLY
An absolute disgrace!

WICKED QUEEN
Can you imagine what the President of the Pantomime Villains Association would have to say about that?!

NURSE NELLY
If I had my way, I’d spank your bottom for you!

WICKED QUEEN
That’s exactly what he’d say! And wouldn’t he just love to do it!

MAGIC MIRROR
Will you kindly leave me alone! 

 (At last, the MAGIC MIRROR manages to force NURSE NELLY from the mirror, just as the WICKED QUEEN turns round.)

WICKED QUEEN
I’ll do what I like to you – you’re my magic mirror! Now, do you have any proper suggestions or not?
