Come celebrate Stratford East’s 140th year and enjoy an East London panto like no other!
This Christmas, treat your family to the ultimate festive tradition! Pinocchio promises an unforgettable experience packed with original songs, whimsical characters, and breathtaking sets.
This year’s Pinocchio is directed by Stratford East veteran Omar F. Okai, with book and lyrics by Trish Cooke and music by Robert Hyman. The story follows the wooden puppet Pinocchio, crafted by the humble Geppetto. Guided by the lovable Blue Rinse Fairy and Krik Krak the Cricket, Pinocchio’s journey is a lively mix of humour, music, and moral lessons as he learns the trials of becoming a “real boy.”
Adults can expect gags that are simultaneously therapeutic and hilarious lightening the anxiety of modern times, if only for a short while. Kids, on the other hand, will scream with laughter as they join in the pantomime shenanigans. Oh yes, they will!
No Wooden Actors Here!
Returning cast favourites Michael Bertenshaw, as the playful Blue Rinse Fairy, and the talented Dylan Collymore, as Pinocchio, the ensemble of actors is set to delight audiences of all ages with cheeky delivery, perfect comedic timing and bags of charm. Supported by a stellar creative team and Stratford East’s signature style, Pinocchio is set to be a spectacular, family-friendly show like no other.
