Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle

CHARLES Court Opera and the King’s Head Theatre have announced that Charles Court Opera’s legendary annual ‘Boutique panto’ will be transferring to its new home at the King’s Head Theatre for 2015 after eight glorious years at the Rosemary Branch Theatre.

This year’s production, Mirror Mirror, runs from December 3, 2015 to January 9, 2016 and is a uniquely alternative, inventive take on the tale of Snow White.

According to the press release, anyone who has seen any of Charles Court Opera’s previous Boutique Pantos knows to expect the unexpected as well as a dazzling array of musical numbers sung by a stunning cast featuring regular Charles Court Opera compatriots. And that includes founder and resident dame John Savournin, who also directs.

From adults-only performances through to children’s matinees, Charles Court Opera’s boutique pantos are perfect for families, couples, groups of friends or office parties – and have become a legendary part of North London’s Christmas (Time Out Critic’s Choice 2014), with this year’s promising to be bigger, better, and a glittering treat for all.

Tickets: £10 – £27.50 (children aged 5 and under go free sitting on parent’s laps for all matinees, adult only performances £27.50 all tickets). To book, call the box office on 0207 478 0160 or visit www.kingsheadtheatre.com/.

Times: 7pm, with matinees at 3pm (see website for dates).
