Synopsis
This Christmas, get ready for a festive twist on a classic tale with this Snow White and the Seven Christmas Elves pantomime scripts! In the heart of Christmas Town, Snow White is the most talented girl around. Something wicked Queen Miserables simply cannot stand. With help from her henchman Humbug and some very grumpy guards, she’s out to rid the land of Snow White for good.
Luckily, Snow White has some help of her own: Dame Holly Bush and her cheeky son Harry bring barrels of laughs, while Fairy Jinglebell and trainee Fairy Frosting work their magic. And when Snow White finds herself hiding in Santa’s workshop with seven charming elves, it’s up to Prince Noel and a very familiar man in the mirror to save the day.
Packed with Christmas spirit, seasonal sparkle and festive fun, this is the perfect panto for younger audiences and families. Who needs seven dwarfs when you’ve got seven Christmas elves?

Snow White and the Seven Christmas Elves Pantomime Script Extract
QUEEN M. Humbug, I have had enough of your ridiculous whimpering. Come here this instant and help me think of a plan to wipe out Snow White once and for all.
HUMBUG Y – y – yes your majesty.
QUEEN M. Well Humbug, give me solutions!
HUMBUG We could lock her in a tower your majesticals.
QUEEN M. Then she would still be alive you imbecile.
HUMBUG Prick her finger on a spinning wheel.
QUEEN M. She doesn’t have a spinning wheel Humbug. Engage your brain.
HUMBUG We could make her do pantomime in *neighbouring town*.
QUEEN M. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone Humbug, not even Snow White!
HUMBUG I don’t know your majesty. You’re much better at this than I am.
QUEEN M. Let’s check in with the man in the mirror perhaps he has some useful ideas since you seem to be unable to think of any.
(She walks over to the mirror)
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?
(Enter FATHER CHRISTMAS into the mirror)
FATHER C. Although you will not like to hear.
Snow White is still fairest, she has been all year.
QUEEN M. And is there nothing I can do to change that?
FATHER C. Her hair is sleek and shiny, her face no crannies or nooks.
Hence she is fairest when it comes to the way she looks.
QUEEN M. But I am equally beautiful wouldn’t you say?
FATHER C. But it isn’t just beauty that matters in these things
She can sing, dance and she’s friendly, far more than you bring.
QUEEN M. Yuk. Personality. Who’d want one of those.
FATHER C. And finally as Princess, she is the rightful heir to the throne
But I haven’t mentioned that before as I know you’ll only moan.
QUEEN M. Heir to the throne! How dare you mirror. Away with you at once.
(Exit FATHER CHRISTMAS from the mirror)
HUMBUG What if we just sent her off into the forest your majesty.
QUEEN M. Off into the… Humbug, you might just be onto something there.
HUMBUG Thank you your –
QUEEN M. – fetch Snow White at once.
HUMBUG Yes your majesty.
(To BRUSSEL and SPROUT)
You two. Fetch Snow White at once!
(BRUSSEL and SPROUT exit)
QUEEN M. This is my chance to bump off Snow White once and for all. No more hideous singing around the castle or smiling like a buffoon at all the poor people in the kingdom. Just me, me, me all the time. Hurrah!
