What's on in London: Wicked Witches
A popular panto starring Crayola.
If you're looking for a panto to bring some cheer to the festive season, then Wicked Witches is vying for your attention.
Inspired by all things Oz, this is a panto that is available in two varieties - the adult-only show or the all-ages show.
The story give us the tale that twenty years after Dorothy (Dor) first tumbled over the rainbow, a surprise snowstorm whisks them back to the Borough of Oz-lington, where they discover the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch are still feuding.
Audiences will see Dor join forces with Scarecrow, Lion, and the shiny new Tin 2.0, as they set out on an epic quest to stop the storm, defeat the witch, and save Christmas.
Promising all the tropes of the traditional panto, this is a production intended as a celebration of identity and community.
"At a time of increasing legislation against trans people, I believe it’s of the utmost importance to champion positive trans stories and heroic trans characters..." says Shane ShayShay Konno - writer and director of the production. "I’ve created a lot of performance work for children and have always found them to be the most accepting and enthusiastic audiences. Wicked Witches sends a message of celebrating our differences & accepting others to audiences of all ages."
