The final cast and full creative team have been announced as boutique panto masters Charles Court Opera prepare to return to the King’s Head Theatre for a third year of pun-tastic, panto-tastic fun with the world premiere of King Tut – A Pyramid Panto.
A now legendary part of North London’s Christmas, Charles Court Opera’s seasonal are always cheeky, topsy-turvy retellings of myths, legends and fairytales. Expect both the expected and the unexpected, with fabulous musical numbers that add spark and bite to the slapstick, groan-worthy jokes and off piste silliness, mixed up in an inventive cocktail of magic, love and cross-dressing. This is definitely the wackiest pantomime in town!
This year CCO head for the Valley of the Kings and sprinkle their madcap magic across a LUXORiously entertaining, jaw-droppingly hilarious show with a show full of bling-tastic pharoahs, sand dancing, mystery, intrigue and lots of fun, plus some incredible musical arrangements that will keep your toes tapping well into the new year. Don’t be in denial – it’s only a river in Egypt!
The cast – many returning having starred in last year’s panto Pinocchio – is now confirmed: Alys Roberts is cool King Tut from the Valleys, Matthew R J Ward is an intrepid explorer, John Savournin and Matthew Kellett will share the role of evil Lord Conniving, Francesca Fenech is his adventurous ward, and the cast is completed by Philip Lee.
King Tut – A Pyramid Panto will run from Friday 24 November to Saturday 6 January.
