St. Aloysius College Theatre, Birkirkara

​

After 20 years, Hoi Polloi’s legendary Pantoween is back – and so are the Sanderson Sisters! 

This Halloween, the witches return in a brand-new, laugh-out-loud, spook-tacular pantomime twist. Packed with magic, music, mischief, and mayhem, HOCUS POCUS: The Pantoween promises to be a fun-filled night out for the whole family.

When a cheeky new boy lights the mysterious Black Flame Candle on Halloween night, three mischievous witches return to wreak havoc on Ħal Werwirni. The eccentric Sanderson Sisters plot to steal the town’s Halloween spirit and the souls of its children to regain their former glory.

But they’re not prepared for the unlikely heroes standing in their way: a feisty little sister, a clever friend, a grumpy talking cat, and some unexpected sidekicks. Alongside the town’s larger-than-life Mayor, they must outwit the witches, break their spell, and save the day before sunrise.

Packed with laughter, music, and spooky surprises, Hocus Pocus: The Pantoween is a spellbinding panto adventure that promises fun for the whole family!
