JW3 brings the world of Traditional Pantomime and the new Tradition of Jewish Pantomime to everyone!
Join in the fun at the happiest big top at Cirque Du Oy Vey, JW3! Everyone is welcome at the Mitzvah (Party!) for Baby Bear’s “Bear Mitzvah”, as once again JW3 brings a brand new, traditional Jewish Pantomime to Panto Land in NW3 - GOLDIE FROCKS and the BEAR MITZVAH, now playing until Sunday 5 January 2025. Plus ICE RINK and KASA BAR AND GRILL!! Full of slapstick and live music you'll be in stitches laughing at all of the unbearable jokes, singing along with the pawsome on-stage band and there might even be a magic trick or two!
Returning as the Dame to JW3‘s Panto is audience favourite Debbie Chazen as a hilarious Mama Bear! Joining ‘Dame’ Debbie is Divergent Talent Group’s Heloise Lowenthal playing the feisty young rebel Goldie Frocks and in what could possibly be the year’s most insane piece of casting, the brilliant clown and performance artist Frankie Thompson becomes the 13-year-old cuddly silly billy Baby Bear preparing for his big coming-of-age day, his Bar/Bear Mitzvah! David Ellis as Rabbi Schlomo Drake - who happens to be a duck, who is also playing Minnie Skirt alongside Maxie Dress - Yael Elisheva. Every pantomime has a villain, and JW3’s fashion designer baddy is Calvin Brine played by Simon Yadoo and the East-End veteran in a classic Pearly King costume is magician and ventriloquist Ian Saville as the perfect Morris Bloom, the Spirit of Old East End - who just might be the oldest performer making his Pantomime debut in 2024 (oh yes, he is)!
Goldie Frocks has been trapped in the workshop of the evil fashion designer Calvin Brine for all her young life. Goldie always helps everyone, and unbeknownst to all, the talented Goldie is destined to create her own breathtaking fashion designs! Wicked Brine has a dastardly plan to take London’s Fashion world by storm – and wants eternal youth to succeed! So, he is after a fur coat made from a Baby Bear to get his wish! Meanwhile in the happy big top, Cirque Du Oy Vey, our circus Ringleader Mama Bear is getting ready for her silly billy Baby Bear's Bear Mitzvah. Cold-hearted Calvin sends Goldie to snatch Baby Bear……!
And don’t forget NW3’s favourite pop-up ICE RINK at JW3!! With another first, the ICE RINK will be under JW3’s brand new Dorfman Piazza – so come rain, shine, or snow – JW3’ve got you covered! Plus, the acclaimed KASA BAR AND GRILL will be serving up their fabulous menus from schnitzel to falafels from 12pm-8pm Sunday – Thursday and Saturday 6pm-8pm throughout the panto run!!
GOLDIE FROCKS and the BEAR MITZVAH is the pantomime for everyone, perfect to celebrate and join in with traditions and festivities!
