Increasing The Cast Size
The speaking parts can easily be increased to 60 if you split some of the announcers’ and attendants’ lines between more children. Have as many additional non-speaking courtiers, cronies and woodland creatures as you like. Non-speaking woodland flowers and plants could be added too.
Decreasing The Cast Size
The speaking parts can be reduced to 43 by doing the following:
- Have only one courtier who takes all the courtier lines and doubles up as the woodcutter
- Have two trees instead of five, splitting the lines accordingly
- Have two attendants instead of three, splitting the lines accordingly
- Two of the bunnies double up as the two announcers
- One of the bunnies doubles up as Forest Arranger Dash

Beautiful!
This is epic! I had to add A LOT more parts in as I had too many children, but even with my extra Characters Bean, Scodgit and more, it was still amazing. I recommend this play to anyone that reads this review, but one note. It took weeks for my children at my school to work on the song Cleanie Jeanie and Tidy Life, Tidy mind, but they were still great. Also the puns are hilarious! It made all the parents laugh! We will never forget this play.
Funny, exciting and feel good
My school did this play and it was hilarious to see the Cleanie Jeanie song have a solo part. Same with the mirror mirror song. Malodorous is evil but awesome and lickspittle is very obedient to malodorous. Great fun and is hilarious to watch.
A feel-good panto sure to bring the Christmas spirit to your school
Panto’s back. Oh yes, it is! You can’t beat a good panto at Christmas, but it’s quite the undertaking. Fear not though, as Out of the Ark Music has served up a showstopper for you and yours to perform, and it is refreshingly different. Panto is like a set of familiar Christmas decorations that gets unboxed every year; although the decorations are the same, they’re never hung on the tree in quite the same way. Similarly, A Hint Of Snow White presents a familiar tale while maintaing its own style and omitting some of the more problematic elements of the story. Many pantos are much of a muchness with familiar characters, jokes and well-worn routines, but not this one. A Hint of Snow White is set in the multi-coloured, mystical kingdom of Duluxembourg where wicked magic seeks to overthrow the good. And this is quite the quest! Panto is like a set of familiar Christmas decorations that get unboxed every year. Although the decorations are the same, they’re never hung on the tree in quite the same way and A Hint of Snow White has its own style, while some of the more problematic elements of the story have been omitted. Every panto needs a funny script with real adventure, danger, drama and jokes and this has all those in spades. Every panto should also have an array of colourful characters ready to steal the show and this one is full of quirky larger-than-life characters old and new. There are 54 speaking parts, from the small to the very large, including Queen Malodorous, Lickspittle, Snow White and Fairy G with plenty more for all speaking abilities. There are also suggestions for increasing and decreasing the cast size with ideas for staging and props. Part of the joy of watching panto is seeing the eclectic array of costumes, and those suggested in this production are full of bold colours, bright patterns and plenty of glitter and glam. Another of the most enjoyable parts of watching a panto is being able to get involved in the show. Luckily, A Hint of Snow White provides the audience with the opportunity for a good chunk of booing, hissing, cheering and applauding. The songs are all panto-ready and ‘singchronised’, too, and the brilliant lyrics will easily get stuck in the heads of the audience – always a sign of a good song sheet. The quality of the music and singing is always top-notch with Out of the Ark and the creativity is second to none, so you are guaranteed high production standards. This panto stands out head and shoulders above the rest. The script is hilarious, the songs are catchy, and everyone will leave with a big smile and plenty to talk about. A Hint of Snow White is a full-on show where the pace is maintained throughout, providing golden moments of fun and laughter. A lot of creative thought has clearly gone into presenting a well-worn story with a thoroughly modern, up-to-date script written for a target audience of family, friends and the wider school community. Panto is very often a child’s first exposure to theatre, and to have the chance to perform is something they will never forget.
