Cast announced for JW3’s 2024-25 pantomime - Oh yes it is!
Mitzvah = Party and JW3 are super excited to announce GOLDIE FROCKS and the BEAR MITZVAH key casting! JW3’s pantomime is a brand-new tradition for London’s vibrant Jewish community and everyone in NW3, playing Sunday 8 December 2024 – Sunday 5 January 2025 (press night Tuesday 10 December 2024 at 7pm)!
Returning as the Dame in her second JW3 Panto season is audience favourite Debbie Chazen as a hilarious Mama Bear! Joining ‘Dame’ Debbie is Divergent Talent Group’s Heloise Lowenthal who will play the cheeky young rebel Goldie ‘Frocks’ Lockshen; acclaimed clown and performance artist Frankie Thompson becomes the cuddly Baby Bear; 5* FunnyWomen comedian Chiara Goldsmith is the villainous Calvin Brine; and the East-End veteran, magician and ventriloquist Ian Saville is the perfect Morris Bloom, the Spirit of Old East End!
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 at Piccalilli Circus, ringleader Mama Behr is getting ready for her cuddly, 13-year-old, Baby Behr's Bear Mitzvah! Cold- hearted Calvin sends Goldie to snatch Baby Behr……!!
Everyone is welcome to join in the Mitzvah (Party!), as once again JW3 brings a brand new, traditional Jewish Pantomime to Panto Land in NW3. Tickets are on sale now!
