Will Pinocchio (played by Nī Dekkers-Reihana) and their friends escape the whale, and how will they deal with the toymaker Geppetto (Sepelini Mua’au) who isn’t happy his wooden child has wagged school?</p> <p>We’re a happy, engaged mixed-generation audience, laughing, shouting out and singing along in Circa’s pantomime show. The classic fairytale is given a contemporary twist by writers Simon Leary and Gavin Rutherford – the latter is also the director, and the retired panto dame who has handed up the job after 12 years of starring in the top role.

The opening tableau of Donkeys, arrayed over the hills of Wellywoodington, collectively enthralled by a full moon, is worth reflecting on as the plot progresses.</p> <p>Gavin Rutherford, who has graced the Circa pantos as The Dame since Roger Hall’s <em><a href="https://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/review.php?id=3510">Robin Hood</a></em> in 2010, has now taken over as Director. Michael Nicholas Williams remains as the highly valued Musical Director and Arranger, having MDd the original Wilson-directed Roger Hall’s <em><a href="https://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/review.php?id=12029">Cinderella</a></em> in 2006, which launched the Circa tradition.</p> <p>JThan Morgan and Natasha McAllister, who have been onstage panto regulars since the revival of Paul Jenden’s <em><a href="https://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/review.php?id=11390">Puss in Boots</a></em> (2019), now choreograph the show as well as perform in it. The Rutherford, Williams, Morgan, McAllister combo gives us a dynamically-presented <em>Pinocchio</em>, visually enhanced by Marcus McShane’s lighting, Rebekah de Roo’s AV projections and Sheila Horton’s costume designs, on Anne-Lisa Noordover’s splendid set – with Technical Operator Deb McGuire and Stage Manager Natasha Thyne (taking over from stalwart SM Eric Gardiner) keeping everything on track.</p> <p>Panto regulars will be delighted to hear ‘The Pantomime World’ tagged onto the opening number: Electric Light Orchestra’s ‘Livin’ Thing’. Traditional tropes follow with JThan Morgan’s Kahurangi Fairy – a blend of Fairy Godmother and Pantomime Dame – setting the scene while flirting with a chap in the front row. Morgan flips from audacious and ebullient to dramatically portentous with alacrity.</p> <p>The setup is that the mysterious disappearance of Wellywoodington’s children is coinciding with a spreading plague of Donkeys and the dastardly Rupert Fox is the mastermind behind it (a capturing of hearts and minds?). Emma Katene is every inch the wily villain, with gullible schoolboy Thorndon Key – niftily portrayed by Tabatha Bertei-Killick – trotting along in Fox’s wake. Key’s multiple properties and glittering share portfolio speak volumes.</p> <p>Meanwhile Sepelini Mua’au compels out empathy as woodworker Gepetto, a poor lonely widow man – yes, we get to chorus “Ooohh…” for him. ‘Lonely’ (by Akon) becomes his theme song. He is finding his self-involved cat, Ms Claws, an insufficient cure for his plight and plans to carve a marionette child to fill the gap. Natasha McAllister delights in her wannabe influencer role and the physicality of her responses to absent-minded strokes from Gepetto are wonderful to behold.</p> <p>A tree stump stands as the perfect candidate for becoming Gepetto’s substitute child – except it happens to be the home of Willami Weta who actually prefers to be alone. Finley Hughes does a great job of wrestling with Willami’s own dilemmas while attempting to fulfil his appointed role as Pinocchio’s conscience.</p> <p>The transformation from stump to the Pinocchio puppet is a magic moment. Nī Dekkers-Reihana’s physical and mental progression from innocent marionette with no moral centre, through formative experiences including much amusing mispronouncing of “conscience”, to becoming a human child, is as delightful as it is salutary.</p> <p>Given the Kahurangi Fairy’s plan to pluck a child from the audience as a means of tracking what Fox is up to, the arrival of Pinocchio is timely. The bid to capture this proto-child’s heart and mind – some may say ‘soul’ – drives the narrative forward, intertwined with Ms Claws’ progression from self-serving sociopath to aligning with those who care for each other as well as themselves.</p> <p>The enticement to join the circus raises an audience expectation that is not realised – which is the point. Politically, the circus metaphor represents distraction and diversion from noticing corruption in the ruling classes. Instead of committing to a good education, Pinocchio becomes distracted by the carnival and ends up trapped in a cage.</p> <p>When the Kahurangi Fairy wants to know how this happened, despite Willami Weta’s urgings to tell the truth, Pinocchio attempts to put the blame elsewhere by telling lies – and that is where the famous nose-growing happens. The telescopic device is clever and would be even better if it was flesh-coloured. (I won’t try to guess why it’s not or whether it can be remedied.)</p> <p>Breakouts into lively song and dance numbers pepper the narrative and pep-up the pace throughout, with contributions from Natasha Bedingfield, Mika, Britney Spears, NSYNC, Katy Perry, Five, Europe and Kelly Clarkson. The entrance and dance routine to Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake it off’ kicks the second half off to pumping start.</p> <p>What with the Kahurangi Fairy’s powers depleted, thanks to losing her wand, and Gepetto being lost and feared drowned in the harbour, the jeopardy that makes for strong drama and comedy is well crafted – and a boat called Waka Kotahi, that “promises much but struggles with delivery”, becomes their means of searching for Gepetto. Suffice to say they have a whale of a time finding him, enhanced by an echo effect in their voices.</p> <p>Counterpointing Pinocchio’s progression from puppet to fully realised person, the community threat is visually represented by the appearance of donkey’s ears on characters at risk. In fact Thorndon Key’s metamorphosis into total Donkey is almost complete before the resolution.</p> <p>Lest we think this Pinocchio has become the good little boy <em>Carlo Collodi envisioned, </em>Nī Dekkers-Reihana gives us a striking final image of a strong and true adolescent (is there a gender-neutral equivalent of wāhine toa?).</p> <p><em>This </em><em>Pinocchio</em><em> is full of fun and rich in resonance, guaranteed to appeal to all age groups.</em></p> <p>Here’s how Gabe Oliver-Booth (10) sums it up:</p> <p>An inviting and humorous show, rich with humour and a plot that while linking up to the real world, still has the effect of staying independent and fairy-tale induced.</p> <p>I would highly recommend these Family targeted plays to anyone who enjoys a good show. Whether you are on your own or in a group, you’d still be sure to be on the edge of your seat.<br /> _______________________________</p> <p class="copyright">Copyright © in the review belongs to the reviewer</p> </div> <div class="comments d-none col-12 col-md-6"> <h4 class="pb-4">Comments</h5> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Make a comment <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/production/pinocchio-the-pantomime/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3><p class="must-log-in">You must be <a href="https://www.theatreview.org.nz/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatreview.org.nz%2Freview%2Ffull-of-fun-and-rich-in-resonance-guaranteed-to-appeal-to-all-age-groups%2F">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="donate-box my-5 text-center p-3 bg-black text-white" style="border:1px solid white;"><a href="/koha-donations" class="link">Value what we do?
