En Garde! The Panto (mis)Adventures of the Three Musketeers

January 4 | 10-12 | 17-19 2020

We are MEGA EXCITED for you see our new panto this January...

When Constance Soreau’s brother, Jacques, is arrested by the scheming Cardinal Richelieu and thrown into the Bastille, she enlists the help of her feisty boyfriend D’Artagnan, his trusty snail sidekick Serge, and the 3 Musketeers to help rescue him. The Cardinal wants Jacques’ famous magical perfume to disgrace the Queen and ruin all chances of a peace treaty between France and their rival England.

Can D’Artagnan, the Musketeers and a gang of street urchins rescue Jacques? Will they defeat the Cardinal, cheesy Roquefort and his Red Guards, and the mysterious Milady DeWinter? You’ll find out the answers to these questions and more in En Garde! The Panto (mis)Adventures of the Three Musketeers.

In January 2020, Suburban Legend presents En Garde! The Panto (mis)Adventures of the Three Musketeers -  a family comedy in the British Pantomime tradition written, directed, produced by and starring talented local residents, with profits benefiting local charities. Get ready to boo the villains, cheer for the heroes, shout “It’s behind you!” and join in the fun! Sing along to some catchy silly songs and be ready to laugh at some of the best worst jokes ever told in Maplewood.

Performances for En Garde! are at the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts in Maplewood, NJ on January 4, 10-12 and 17-19 2020.

 Oh, poor Serge! I’ll find you a picture.


Serge is in the trailer, posted Jan. 6. 

Someday, maybe, i'll manage to be in NJ for one of these.  They sound absolutely delightful.


Yes, that’s where I fell in love and thought perhaps Daisy’s successor could do with a fan portrait cheese


Oh, bravo everybody, well done! What an excellent production!

We were privileged to see a special screening (thank you!), and it was almost like being there. The jokes, the visual puns, the timing, the songs, audience reactions...just loved this tale. 
question snake question snake


We made it to the Sunday afternoon show. Great job! My kids wanted to have sword fights all day yesterday, We may have been shouting "En Garde" a bit too loudly for the neighbors' liking.

What?
How?


Aha! cheese Super-secret spy stuff!  wink


Now that the season is over and we are suffering from Panto withdrawal symptoms, we thought we would take a moment to thank everyone who came to see the show and support local charities. Every audience brought 100% to each show and we hope you had as much fun as we did making you all laugh.

I thought it would be fun to make a little video with some of my highlights of putting this hilarious show together. From bashing out ideas on a whiteboard, through script writing, auditions, casting, production meetings, photo shoots, rehearsals, and set building — we spend around 9 months a year putting a panto together. Here I’ve condensed that into around 2 minutes to one of those jolly stock indie guitar tracks everyone hates.


I really enjoyed watching that, ridski. (And the stock indie guitar track was no more hatefully jolly than anything from Hello Biafra.) Thanks for making and posting it.


Just spread the word around James Cook University, Cairns & Townsville campuses.  smile
