Pinocchio The Panto

Program Overview

Join us for the ultimate festive celebration! Hong Kong Players proudly presents this year's Christmas pantomime, 'Pinocchio The Panto.' Adapted from Carlo Collodi's classic tale, 'The Adventures of Pinocchio,' this production infuses the charm of British pantomime with energetic music, dance, and humor, creating a lively theatrical experience for the whole family.

When a lonely woodcarver named Geppetto wishes for a family, a magical fairy brings his puppet, Pinocchio, to life. Will Pinocchio navigate the temptations of the outside world, or will he learn what it truly means to be a son? This year's production promises a blend of comedy and drama that delights both children and adults alike.
