Sinbad! by Ellie King (Metro Theatre Pantomime)

Metro Theatre’s traditional annual pantomime is back! This year, ‘Sinbad!’ by Ellie King is making its way to the Metro’s stage opening on Saturday, December 9th, 2023, and previewing on December 7th and December 8th. The Metro Theatre proudly unveils its’ annual holiday tradition with our classic British Pantomime: Sinbad! Written by the Queen of Pantos herself, Ellie King, it is a true Christmas tradition with captivating music to create a hilarious, joy-filled, and unforgettable show for the whole family. This year, we set sail on an epic treasure hunt aboard the SS Leaky Lucy Ship on the high seas in an undetermined area of the world. There’s nothing short of big fights, great songs, lots of love, and treasure! It’s a rollicking adventure for all ages, filled with demons to “boo”, heroes to cheer for, and songs to sing along with. Families won’t want to miss this theatrical treat. A panto is great for children, but adults experience many laughs too; don’t worry, there are plenty of “adult jokes” sprinkled in! Traditional British pantomimes involve music, topical jokes, audience interaction, dancing, slapstick comedy, and of course a traditional Pantomime Dame in drag. Under the direction of James T. Walker, the upcoming production of “Sinbad!” is poised to entertain and captivate audiences. “Sinbad!” is produced by “Love it or List It Vancouver” Producer Shel Piercy and Arts Club Choreographer Shelley Stewart-Hunt, with musical direction by Kerry O’Donnovan and choreography by Linzi Voth.
