A festive box of delights to be discovered at JW3 – slap bang in the middle of the Finchley Road NW3, bringing much needed Jewish joy, music, theatre, comedy and entertainment = Traditional Jewish Pantomime, so expect the unexpected!
CINDERELLA AND THE MATZO BALL by Nick Cassenbaum. Sunday 7 December ’25 – Sunday 4 January ’26
Talia Pick makes her pantomime debut as the baker Cinderella, alongside her bad sisters Milchig played by performance artist and native Nu Yawkah Rosie Yadid and packing a punch is Libby Liburd as Fleishig – the three sisters and bread-ren get up to all sorts of beatings (eggs), mixing (cakes) and some soggy bottoms at their bakery in Yeast Finchley in the Kosher Kingdom. Talya Soames will bring her whirlwind of energy to the classic panto land clown as Cinder’s BFF (bread-friends-forever) Buttons, with puppeteer and E15 graduate Lillith Freeman as Beigel Streisand, Monsieur Croissant and First Aide; and Michael Cowan as Pita Rabbit and Lemon Aide; with the French actor Ronan Quiniou as the Prince with a cheese twist. The brilliant onstage performing band is multi-instrumentalist, Klezmer specialist and Musical Director Josh Middleton, acrobatic circus performer and klezmer expert trumpeter and tuba player Oliver Presman and internationally award-winning Mexican drummer, Migdalia van der Hoven. Broadcaster Emma Barnett making her pantomime debut with her famous dulcet tones heard at every performance as she plays radio news reporter Emma Barnett-By-Pass (local location name check!) on THE TEN O CLOCK JEWS, reporting on all the juicy news stories from panto land’s Kosher Kingdom! Plus, a magical and fluffy Fairy Cob Mother – a true Fairy Cake!
