Join in for the ultimate holiday treat at Spazju Kreattiv this Christmas with Chucky’s Christmas Cracker – A Solo Panto Experience.
Written and Directed by Vikesh Godhwani (Panto in the Dark Series, Jamie Cardona’s Mid-Djarju ta’ Student fi Skola Tal-Knisja) this one-person panto features Malta’s iconic drag queen and Voice of Love Island Malta, Chucky, performing every character in a side-splitting rendition of Beauty and the Beast.
Expect a riotous blend of pop songs, sharp political satire, uproarious audience interaction and surprise special guests at every performance!
With high camp, drama, and endless laughs, Chucky brings an unforgettable twist to a beloved tale, promising an alternative festive offer full of magic, merriment and x-rated fun. A truly laugh-out-loud holiday extravaganza!
Writer and Director Vikesh Godhwani says: “Spazju Kreattiv has become my theatrical home in Malta over the years (this is actually my 7th production there) and Chucky is like family to me, so there really is no better way to spend Christmas than making this show. Panto is, of course, a staple in the holiday calendar for many in Malta.
“A few years ago we shook things up with Panto in the Dark and I’m hoping to once again reinvent the wheel with a panto for adults starring just one person! Beauty and the Beast is a story all about outsiders and I hope that in Chucky’s Christmas Cracker all the rebels find a place to celebrate with their chosen family outside of the stuffiness of tradition. Leave expectations at the door. It’s going to be a wild one!”
Performer Chucky elaborates: “It’s always exciting to bring drag to Malta in a new format, pushing the boundaries of traditional entertainment while still taking all the best things about panto to make something completely unique. I am also looking forward to working with Vikesh again as we definitely bring out the best in each other!”
The performances take place on December 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29 at 8pm (7pm on Sunday) at Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta. Tickets are available here. Age guidance: 17+
