Meet the Wicked Queen

Taking centre stage as the Wicked Queen is Australian musical theatre star, Debora Krizak. With a career spanning over two decades, Debora has graced the stage in hit productions like The Producers, Anything Goes, Mamma Mia, Cinderella, Billy Elliot, A Chorus Line, and Sweet Charity. Her charismatic presence and dynamic talent make her the perfect fit to bring this iconic villainess to life.

A Show for All Ages

Bonnie Lythgoe’s pantos are renowned for their interactive style, inviting audiences to boo, hiss, and cheer along with the characters.

“The beloved story of Snow White is a show for adults as much as it is for the kids,” says Bonnie. “I cannot wait to welcome back Australian audiences to boo, hiss, and cheer together again, and we’re absolutely thrilled to have Debora Krizak joining us as everyone’s favourite fairytale nemesis!”

A Magical Theatrical Experience

Expect a rollercoaster of emotions as the show takes you from hilarity to heartfelt moments, all wrapped up in stunning sets and costumes that will leave you spellbound. Bonnie Lythgoe Productions has consistently been a hit with both critics and audiences alike, with past productions like Cinderella starring Jimmy Rees, Jack and the Beanstalk starring Lucy Durack, Aladdin starring Beau Ryan, and the original Snow White featuring Magda Szubanski, Sir Cliff Richard, and Kyle Sandilands.
