A perfect holiday treat for the whole family! Cheer the good guys, boo the bad guys and laugh out loud at the silliness of the retelling of the classic story, featuring all your panto favourites. Add toe-tapping music, sparkling sets and costumes and there you have it.

Traditional British Panto at its rambunctious best! Sparkling, magical, family fun awaits when we join Sinbad and his wacky crew in a rollicking and hilarious adventure on the high seas. Come and sing along with toe-tapping music, groan at corny old jokes, cheer the good guys and boo the bad in this hilariously funny show, as we say farewell to BC’s favourite Dame, Alan Cedargreen, when he wields his wooden spoon for one last time.

Sinbad is written and directed by BC’s own “Queen of Panto” Ellie King and features many of the panto stars who have been delighting audiences in BC for over 28 years. Patrons have been known to remark that they expected to walk out of the theatre into Oxford Street in London, so true is RCTCs panto to the British tradition, complete with Dame and Principal Boy, slapstick, music, dance, magic and the worst collection of corny old jokes in captivity. As always this is an original Canadian script featuring original music – both written specifically for the play.
