Saving Santa’s Sparkle

18-20 Dec, 2026

Regent Theatre

In a lively beachside town, the magical Pōhutukawa tree has lost its sparkle, putting Christmas at risk. You’ll find yourself caught up in a rowdy pantomime where booing the villains and cheering the heroes is all part of the fun. Local characters, along with some mischievous native wildlife, take center stage in this playful story. The show invites you to sing along and join in the action, making it a spirited experience that feels both familiar and fresh. This production is full of cheeky Kiwi humour that keeps the mood light and entertaining throughout. It’s a community creation, so you’ll notice the genuine local flavour woven into every scene. Whether you’re watching with friends or family, the interactive nature of the pantomime makes it easy to get involved and enjoy the shared laughter. It’s a festive event that captures the charm of the season without taking itself too seriously.
