Snow White and the 7 Ninjas

Rugby Theatre, 20-29 January 2023. Preview.

Rugby Theatre panto is back – with the fairest pantomime of them all…

Oh yes it is! Rugby Theatre is delighted to announce that its legendary pantomime is returning for the first time in three years, offering slapstick, comedy and fun for all the family.

“Rugby Theatre is back with the fairest panto of them all – Snow White, who this year is helped in her adventures by seven fearless ninjas!” says the show’s director Emma Bright. “But we need your help to defeat the evil Queen’s plans…”

With spectacular scenery, colourful costumes and a marvellously messy baking scene, the show stars disastrous dame Wendy Wibble Wobble, brave Snow White and her unlikely crew of ninjas, plus plenty of baddies to boo and hiss. The adult cast are joined by local children from the Carrie Bianco Stage School, providing dazzling dance routines.

Written by Rugby Theatre member Kevin Bright, Snow White and the 7 Ninjas will be the Henry Street venue’s first panto since January 2020, following closure for the pandemic and then refurbishment of the bar and facilities.

“This is a must-see for all the family, with all the usual fun and frolics – shouting, booing, clapping and singing along,” continues Emma.

“Will Prince Hamilton get his girl? Will the celebration cake be baked on time? Come along to Rugby Theatre between 20-29 January 2023 to join in the fun and help us save the day!”

Tickets are expected to sell out, so early booking is recommended. Snow White and the 7 Ninjas runs from 20-29 January, with discounts available on weekday evenings. Tickets are available from the Rugby Theatre box office on 01788 541234, or www.rugbytheatre.co.uk.
