Pay what you can' family Panto - The Blues Brothers Grimm, St Barts Church, Sydenham

A fun family Christmas show for all ages - featuring three famous Grimm tales with a blues and R&B soundtrack

Germany 1805. When inseparable brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm return to their family home to discover their favourite library is threatened with closure they set off a journey to collect folk stories and save it! Join them on this once in a lifetime adventure with some of your favourite fairy tales!

Retelling three famous Grimm tales the way only Spontaneous Productions can - expect highly entertaining versions of Tom Thumb Rumpelstiltskin and The Elves and the Shoemaker – accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack of blues & R&B numbers just a little reminiscent of classic songs from a certain cult film…

Staged in the wonderful St Barts Church where last year’s Beauty & The Beast was such a big hit this is a spectacular show for all ages and not to be missed. Featuring Spontaneous regulars Hjalmar Nordén and Wictor Koch as the Brothers Grimm and returning for her fourth Spontaneous Christmas show Shireenah Ingram (‘Cinderella’ ‘The Snow Queen’) as their mother Frau Grimm. Rounding up the cast is Chioma Nwalioba - most recently seen as Peter Rabbit and Rapunzel - as the delightful Henrietta. With choreography by Olayinka Sobitan-Solomon costumes by Jackie Poulett and music and songs adapted by Yumi Mashiki and Paul Tornbohm this promises to be our biggest funniest and most entertaining family show yet!
