_________________________________________

SCENE 2 – At the theatre

GOOD FAIRY          (still ignoring him) She’s stolen the good magic from three very special

things.

MARTIN                  What things?

GOOD FAIRY          Well, there’s the goose that lays the golden eggs from…

A/M/S                  “Jack And The Beanstalk”?

              [JOHN turns and listens, interested in spite of himself.]

 

GOOD FAIRY          That’s right. And then there’s the lamp from…

J/A/M/S                “Aladdin”?

GOOD FAIRY          Yes. And she’s stolen the magic from the glass slipper in…

J/A/M/S                “Cinderella”!

GOOD FAIRY          (nodding) And if the magic isn’t working, hundreds of pantos will be ruined! Thousands of children will be disappointed.

Grade 2 enters.

2A enters from SR first curtain and goes to form a semi-circle DSC.

2B enters from SR second curtain and goes to form a diagonal line SR.

2C enters from SL first curtain and goes to form a diagonal line SL.

 

Song – SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC ( Track 3 / 15 )

With vocals

Backing track

 

GOOD FAIRY        I’M LOST WITHOUT MY MAGIC,

I SIMPLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO,

I SIMPLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WITHOUT THE POWER WITHIN ME

THERE’S NOTHING I CAN SAY OR DO

TO MAKE YOUR SMALLEST WISH COME TRUE.

 

I JUST WANT TO PUT THINGS RIGHT

AND FIX WHAT’S GOING WRONG,

TO HEAL WHERE THERE IS SICKNESS

AND TURN SADNESS INTO SONG.

ALL I WANT TO DO (then grade 2 stand up)

IS MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE AND

 

Group 1 (2A & half of 2B)                  SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Group 2  (2C & half of 2B)                   JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Both groups            JUST A TINY SPARK.

Group 1                  SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Group 2                  JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Both groups            MAKE A LITTLE WISH TO LIGHTEN UP THE DARK.

 

ALL                          IT ONLY TAKES A DROPLET

      OF MAGIC IN A DREARY DAY

      TO SEND YOUR WEARINESS AWAY.

      IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT

      TO WAVE A MAGIC WAND AROUND

      AND THEN YOUR FROWN HANGS UPSIDE DOWN!

 

2A swaps places with 2B SR.

                               

                                SHE JUST WANTS TO PUT THINGS RIGHT

                                AND FIX WHAT’S GOING WRONG,

                                TO HEAL WHERE THERE IS SICKNESS

                                AND TURN SADNESS INTO SONG.

                                ALL SHE WANTS TO DO

                                IS MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE AND…

 

Group 1                  SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Group 2                  JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Both groups            JUST A TINY SPARK.

Group 1                  SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Group 2                  JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Both groups            MAKE A LITTLE WISH TO LIGHTEN UP THE DARK.

 

2B swaps places with 2C SL.

Key change – higher

[In the last chorus of the song, MARTIN moves aside, thoughtfully. JOHN is torn between interest and disbelief.]

 

Group 1                  SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Group 2                  JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Both groups            JUST A TINY SPARK.

Group 1                  SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Group 2                  JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC

Both groups            MAKE A LITTLE WISH TO LIGHTEN UP THE DARK.


MARTIN                  (returning to Centre Stage) I’ve been thinking about this Witch. Do you know what she is really? She’s a great big bully.

Gr.2                          A GREAT BIG BULLY!

ALISON                 So?

MARTIN                  Well, you know what we do about bullies at school…

ALISON                 We’re supposed to stand up to them.

Gr.2                          STAND UP TO THEM!

MARTIN                  Perhaps that’s what we should do now.

Gr.2                           WE AGREE!

__________________________________________

JOHN                    (to real audience, incredulous) They really believe there’s a witch!

  (loudly, turning to A/M/S) It’s only a panto!

Gr.2                           ONLY A PANTO?

A/M/S                  (together, glaring at JOHN) Oh, be quiet John!

[JOHN moves aside, shaking his head. GOOD FAIRY joins him and mimes conversation. JOHN shrugs, etc.]

SARA                       (to MARTIN) Do you mean we should stand up to the Witch?

ALISON                 (to MARTIN) Like… make the Witch change?

MARTIN                  Yeah.

Gr.2                             YEAH!

ALISON                 But she’s a witch. It’d be far too hard!

GOOD FAIRY          (turning to MARTIN & ALISON) Yes. It’s very kind of you to offer, but you’re only kids. I don’t think you should get involved.

MARTIN                  (to the audience) What do you think?

Should we help the Good Fairy and fight the Witch?

AUDIENCE            (quietly) Yes!

MARTIN                  Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.

Should we help the Good Fairy and fight the Witch?

AUDIENCE            (louder) YES!

A/M/S                  Pardon?

AUDIENCE            (shouting very loud) YES!!

[J/A/M/S cover their ears and wince.]

A/M/S                  We’ll help the Good Fairy…

(punching the air) and fight the Witch!

JOHN                    But it’s only a…

A/M/S                  (interrupting together) Be quiet, John!

GOOD FAIRY          Oh, you are such brave children. And if you could help put things right, everyone would be so grateful!

JOHN                    (still trying to get back to reality) No, no! This is crazy! Witches only exist in fairy tales!

SARA                       (to JOHN) Shush, spoilsport!

Like you said – this is a pantomime. Enjoy it!

Gr.2    Enjoy it!

Kevin                It will be fun!

(theatrically) We’re on a mission! We must defeat evil!

Jillian                  We must defeat the witch!

MARTIN                  Anyway, it’s a lot more fun than school!

Gr.2                            Yes, we agree!

[JOHN shrugs.]

SARA                       (to GOOD FAIRY) Where do we start?

GOOD FAIRY          We’ve got to get hold of those three magic objects.

ALISON                 Do you know where they are? Are they hidden?

GOOD FAIRY          Not exactly…

MARTIN                  So – how will we find them?

GOOD FAIRY          You’ll have to get into the stories.

SARA                       Get into them? How can we do that?

GOOD FAIRY          Oh, it’s easy. That doorway… (pause as A/M/S turn to look) …is the entrance to Pantoland, where all Pantomime stories are made.

Magic Doorway (Long) – Incidental ( Track 27 )


[The children approach the doorway slowly.]

A/M/S  & Gr2                Wow!

JOHN                    (to audience, making ‘loopy’ gesture) Weird!

GOOD FAIRY          Just go through and find the stories you need. Good luck!

 

Good Fairy Twinkle – Incidental ( Track 26 )


[Exit GOOD FAIRY and grade 2.

2A exits SR second curtain,

2B exits SL first curtain, and

2C exits SR first curtain, then return to their homeroom. J/A/M/S stand by the doorway.

_______________________________________-

End of scene 3 – Working the Audience!

(Exit JACK & GIANT.]

MARTIN             Well, those two have made friends.

AUDIENCE         Ahhh!

JOHN                  But now we’d better find our friends!

MARTIN             Oh, yeah! Alison and Sara! I wonder where they are…

JOHN                  And we’ve got to find two more objects.

Better go back through that door…

MARTIN             (looking at him) Don’t tell me you’re starting to believe all this?           

JOHN                  (with a cagey smile) I might be!

Magic Doorway (Short) – Incidental ( Track 30 )

[JOHN & MARTIN go through doorway.

MOO enters SR. ALL GRADES ENTER from where they entered from for the opening song – loop above music from 0 to 7 secs.]

MOO                   (calling) Tail? Tail! (crossly) Tut… Where is Tail?

                          [Exit SL.]

                                                                

Scene 4 – Working the Audience!
[Enter BOO & HISS.]

HISS                   Hello!

BOO                    Remember us?

HISS                   We thought we’d give you a bit of encouragement.

BOO                    A nice little sing-song.

HISS                   It’s very easy to learn, and we want you all to join in.

(moving to Right) I’ll teach the people on this side.  

BOO                    (moving to Left) And I’ll teach the people on this side.

HISS                   Are you all ready?

AUDIENCE         Yes.

BOO                    I didn’t quite catch that. Are you all ready?  

AUDIENCE         (loudly) YES!

BOO                    Good. Then let’s begin by practising the words.

Say after me: (very slowly) Pan-to Pan-de-mo-ni-um.

AUDIENCE         (same speed as BOO) Pan-to Pan-de-mo-ni-um.

HISS                   Very good! Now a little faster. Pan-to Pan-de-mo-ni-um.

AUDIENCE         (same speed as HISS) Pan-to Pan-de-mo-ni-um.

HISS                   Great! That’s the words learnt! Now for the tune. We’ll sing it first, to

show you how it goes.

Song – PANTO PANDEMONIUM ( Track 7 / 19 ) – ALL

With vocals

Backing track

 

BOO & HISS       Panto Pan-de-mo-ni-um

Panto Pan-de-mo-ni-um

Panto Pan-de-mo-ni-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

 

Panto Pan-de-mo-ni-um

Panto Pan-de-mo-ni-um

Panto Pan-de-mo-ni-yum

Yum, yum!

 

BOO                    Now it’s your turn. My side can go first. Are you ready?


AUDIENCE  
Yes!

[Left side sing ‘Panto Pandemonium’ – 2A and half of 2B3A 4A and 5A and half of 5B. BOO conducts.]

HISS                   Not bad, but it wasn’t very loud.  

(to AUDIENCE Right – 2C and half of 2B, 3B 4B and 5C and half of 5B. HISS conducts.) Can we do better than that?

AUDIENCE (Right) Yes!

BOO                    Oh no you can’t!

AUDIENCE (Right) Oh yes we can!

AUDIENCE (Left) Oh no you can’t!

AUDIENCE (Right) Oh yes we can!

BOO                    Prove it then.

[Right side sing ‘Panto Pandemonium’. HISS conducts.]

BOO                    That was pretty good, actually.

HISS                   Well now we all know the song, let’s sing it together, as loud as we

possibly can. It might scare off the Wicked Witch!

 

[ALL sing, BOO & HISS conduct. WITCH, SPOTTY & GROTTY creep in, holding fingers to lips. They move to where they can be seen when standing, but not when crouching.]

 

BOO                    Very good. Hopefully that’ll do the trick.

HISS                   We mustn’t let the Wicked Witch get away with anything!

BOO                    No. Don’t ever help her.

CHILD                (shouting) Look out! There she is!

[Baddies duck down, BOO/HISS turn to look.]

BOO                    Where? I can’t see her.

[BOO/HISS turn back, baddies stand up.]

AUDIENCE         Behind you!

[Baddies duck down, BOO/HISS turn to look.]

HISS                   Where?  

[BOO/HISS turn back, baddies stand up.]

AUDIENCE         Behind you!

[Baddies duck down, BOO/HISS turn to look.]

BOO/HISS         There’s no-one there!

[BOO/HISS turn back, baddies stand up.]

AUDIENCE         Behind you!

BOO                    (to HISS, without turning) Do you think they’re teasing, Hiss?

[Baddies start to creep up behind BOO & HISS.]

AUDIENCE         (very urgently) Behind you!

HISS                   (to BOO) I think they’re teasing, Boo.

WITCH/SP /GR  (menacingly) Oh no they’re not!

BOO / HISS       (in unison, turning to see WITCH, SPOTTY & GROTTY)

Oh no! They’re not! Let’s get out of here!

[BOO & HISS run away from the baddies.]

WITCH               After them!

 

Chase – Incidental  ( Track 28 )

[WITCH, SPOTTY, GROTTY chase BOO & HISS again, then all exit through Pantoland doorway. Enter MOO, Right.]

MOO                   Tail! Tail! Where are you? (then asks two people at random, who both

shake their heads) Have you seen Tail? (to everyone) Has anyone

seen Tail?

AUDIENCE         (firmly) No! We haven’t seen Tail!

MOO                   (tearfully) I was only asking!

Witch’s Entry – Incidental ( Track 25 )

[MOO gives a little scream and runs off Right as the

WITCH enters, with SPOTTY & GROTTY.]

 

WITCH               (looking around) Where are they? Where are those horrible kids?

GROTTY             What makes you so sure they were here?

WITCH               Because I can smell them, Grotty! I can always smell goodness!

It hangs in the air and gets (shouting) right – up – my – nose!

SPOTTY              Yeah, goodness stinks! (holding nose) Phwah!

WITCH               They’ve been here, that’s for sure, but where are they now?  

GROTTY             (indicating AUDIENCE) We could always ask them again.

SPOTTY              They won’t tell us! They’re all nicey-nicey!

WITCH               (nastily) Well, we’ll ask them in a nicey-nicey way then! (over-sweetly

 to AUDIENCE) Good evening everyone! Hello! So good to see you!

Just wondering…Were those nice children here?

AUDIENCE         (innocently) No…

WITCH /SP/GR (nastily) Oh, yes they were!

AUDIENCE         Oh, no they weren’t!

WITCH               Oh. We don’t believe you anyway!  

[Enter BOO & HISS with their prompt signs.]

GROTTY             (pointing to WITCH) Anyway, when she rules Pantoland…  

SPOTTY              …which will be very soon…  

GROTTY             (pointing at AUDIENCE) …she’s not going to allow people like you into

the audience!

SPOTTY              No! It’ll be baddies only!

[BOO prompts AUDIENCE.]

AUDIENCE         BOO!

SPOTTY              Yeah, all baddies!

[HISS prompts AUDIENCE.]

AUDIENCE          HISS!

GROTTY             No goodies!

[BOO & HISS prompt AUDIENCE.]

AUDIENCE         BOO! HISS!

[BOO & HISS give thumbs up.]

WITCH               But first, we’ve got to find out what those smelly kids are up to. They

mustn’t spoil my great day!

SPOTTY              They can’t be far away! Come on! (to the audience)

WITCH/SP/GR  We’ll be back!

[BOO & HISS prompt AUDIENCE.]

AUDIENCE         BOO! HISS!

[Exit WITCH, SPOTTY & GROTTY.

BOO & HISS move to Centre Stage.]

BOO                    (to HISS, pointing at AUDIENCE) They’re definitely improving.

HISS                   (to BOO) They did lie, though – the children were here.

BOO                    That’s true. (to AUDIENCE) Complicated business, trying to do the

right thing.

HISS                   (to BOO) But at least they’re trying.

BOO                    Yes. There’s hope for them yet.

BOO/HISS         (to AUDIENCE) Keep up the good work!

Magic Doorway (Short) – Incidental ( Track 30 )

[Exit BOO & HISS and all grades from where they entered from. Then DWARFS could march, singing their song again before exiting.]

Song – MASTER PLAN ( Track 10 / 22 )

[The song / dance ends with WITCH / BADDIES cackling]

 

Good Fairy Twinkle Incidental ( Track 26 ) 

[Enter GOOD FAIRY and J/A/M/S through Pantoland door, and Grade 2 from theatre and fire exit doors. MARTIN, JOHN & ALISON carry goose, shoe and lamp respectively. Extra BADDIES to sides, snarling. BOO & HISS hold positions. WITCH, SPOTTY & GROTTY are Centre, backing away from GOOD FAIRY.]

 

WITCH               (stamping her foot in anger) Aargh! They’ve got the goose and the

shoe and the lamp! (crescendo) I hate them! I hate them! I hate

them!

[As she speaks, GOOD FAIRY walks downstage, waving her wand at the WITCH, who

 backs away to the side.]

GOOD FAIRY      There’ll be no more hating round here, thank you! And no more

pandemonium.

[WITCH snarls. The three magic objects are placed on the floor,

Stage Right. A ‘magic’ spotlight lights that area.

WITCH & BADDIES cower and wince.

GOOD FAIRY touches each object with her wand in time with the sound effect.]

Three Magic SoundsIncidental ( Track 32 )

GOOD FAIRY      There! That’s all the good magic back!

AUDIENCE         Hooray! (ALL applaud)

GOOD FAIRY      Jack! Cinderella! Aladdin! Come and get what belongs to you!

[Enter JACK, CINDERELLA & ALADDIN. Each picks up their object when addressed, then moves aside.]

(to JACK) Jack, may you never go hungry!

(to CINDERELLA) Cinderella, may you live happily ever after!

(to ALADDIN) Aladdin, may your wishes come true!

(to AUDIENCE) We must banish all that’s wicked from this place and

let the good magic in!

(to J/A/M/S) Children! Get the baddies into the magic light! [J/A/M/S

approach WITCH, SPOTTY & GROTTY.]

Boo—Hiss—come and help them.

[BOO & HISS begin to chant directly at the WITCH, encouraging ALL to join in.]

BOO/HISS/J/A/M/S (loudly to WITCH) Into the light! Into the light! (repeat ad lib.)

WITCH                        (shouts as she retreats to one side) No! I’m not going in there!

SPOTTY              (following) Nor am I!

GROTTY             (following) Nor me!

WITCH/SPOT/GROT (shouting very loudly) We don’t want to be good!

[Chant stops abruptly. BADDIES are all cowering.]

GOOD FAIRY      Are you sure? Do you want to be bad for ever? What about you,

Grotty?

BOO/HISS/J/A/M/S (chant whispered ad lib at GROTTY) Into the light! Into the light!

[AUDIENCE join in. Chant stops when GROTTY speaks.]

GROTTY             Er… maybe. I wouldn’t mind being good, sometimes.

WITCH               (shaking her fist) Traitor!

GOOD FAIRY      (to GROTTY) Well, that’s a start. Would you like to try out the magic

light? Help him everyone!

AUDIENCE          (softly chanting) Into the light! Into the light! Into the light!

[GROTTY moves cautiously into the light, then relaxes

with a happy smile. The chanting stops.]

SARA                  Well done, Grotty. You can be friends with us now!

[GROTTY moves to join J/A/M/S, who welcome him.]

GOOD FAIRY      What about you, Spotty?

SPOTTY              Well… I suppose just occasionally I could be nice to people.

[Hesitant nodding reaction from the extra BADDIES. As WITCH speaks, she moves towards SPOTTY, who backs away towards the light, so she’s driving him into it!]


W
ITCH               You nasty, weak, disloyal, pathetic, despicable traitor!

GOOD FAIRY      Well done, Witch, you’ve driven him into the light!

WITCH               Noooooooo!!

[Once in the light, SPOTTY stands up straighter, with a smile. After a moment, he gives a thumbs up sign.]

GOOD FAIRY      (to SPOTTY & GROTTY) How does that feel, Spotty?

SPOTTY              It feels good! (pointing at J/A/M/S) Can I join them now?

GOOD FAIRY      Yes. And you’ll find life a lot nicer from now on! And now… (to WITCH)

What about you?

[WITCH is standing alone, arms folded, looking sad and sulky. The song is directed towards her.]

Song – STEP INTO LIGHT ( Track 11 / 23 )

With voice

Backing track

 

Singing ensemble (Ceres – 2A, Leming – 2B, Hajin – 3A, Michelle – 3A, Alice – 3B & Chloe – 3B):

Step into light, You’ll be all right. (x2)

On your own,
You stand alone,
With troubles that you can’t undo.
No-one’s there
To show they care,
To see what you’re going through,
And you can’t see a way – Don’t know what to say
Or do.

Good Fairy: Feeling small,
You’ve blown it all,
And everything you’ve done seems wrong.
Hold my hand,
I’ll help you stand, Together we’ll get along, ‘Cos together we’re strong.

[Dialogue within the song:]

Witch: (Cymbal crash cue) But what’s the point of me trying to be good?

Good Fairy: Well, you’d like yourself more.

Witch: (Cymbal crash cue) Like myself? Really?

Good Fairy: Yes! And you’d have lots of friends.

Witch: (Cymbal crash cue) Friends?
(sadly) I’ve never had friends, only slaves.

Good Fairy: (Cymbal crash cue) You’d like having friends.

Witch: Would they be nice to me?

Good Fairy: That’s what friends are for!

(Cymbal crash cue) If you wanted to be good, I would be your friend.

Witch: Really?

Good Fairy: (Cymbal crash cue) (offering her hand) Won’t you come? Please?

[WITCH hesitantly goes to her. GOOD FAIRY takes WITCH’s hand, mimes conversation. Other BADDIES walk nervously into the light and happily out again. WITCH is led into the light at the very end of the song.]

ALL: Move out of darkness, Step into light.
Walk on the good side, You’ll be all right.

(x3)

Step into light, You’ll be all right!

[WITCH hesitantly goes to her. GOOD FAIRY takes WITCH’s hand, mimes conversation. Other BADDIES walk nervously into the light and happily out again. WITCH is led into the light at the very end of the song.]

GOOD FAIRY      There! That wasn’t so bad, was it?

WITCH               (shuddering) Ohh… It feels very strange…

GOOD FAIRY      Does it?

WITCH               Hang on a minute…

[Pause. Everyone leans in.]

No. It still feels strange.

[Everyone straightens up with a sigh.]

Wait! Hang on another minute…

[Pause. Everyone leans in.]

(with realisation) I feel… happy! Is this what it’s like to feel good?

     [ALL smile, thumbs up, nod, etc.]

I like it! I haven’t felt this good for years!

GOOD FAIRY      Well done, everyone! You’ve saved the Witch, saved the pantomime

and saved the day! Pantos everywhere can begin!

 

[MOO and TAIL enter from opposite sides, run to meet and miss each other, turn back

and do high fives. The whole cast come onto stage, to join in the final song.

Song – GOODBYE! ( Track 12 / 24 )

With voice

Backing track

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

From all the baddies!

So long, so long, so long From all the goodies!

 

Everyone’s been busy,

Getting in a tizzy.

Makes you feel quite dizzy –

Excitement buzzing everywhere!

 

Yes the time is right!

Enjoy the fun tonight

So everybody please join in

and clap your hands!

It’s time to have some

 

Fun and laughter

Now you’re at the panto!

Fun and laughter

Now you’re at the panto!

We’re so glad you came to see tonight’s show.

Come on, let’s go!

 

Everybody’s here (x4 – Grade 2 go fourth)

Now you’ve got to go (x4 – Grade 2 go fourth)

 

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye!

The show is over!

There is, there is, there is

No more to show yer!

 

Everything is ready! Everything is steady!

Everyone is waiting for the magic words: ‘Go, go, go!’

Yes the time is right

Enjoy the fun tonight

So everybody please join in

and clap your hands!

It’s time to have some

 

Fun and laughter

Now you’re at the panto!

Fun and laughter

Now you’re at the panto!

We’re so glad you came to see tonight’s show.

Come on, let’s go!

 

Had a good time ((x4 – Grade 2 go fourth))

At the pantomime!
