It wouldn’t be the festive season in Joburg without a Janice Honeyman pantomime, and this year she brings Carlo Collodi’s classic tale of Pinocchio to life in a spectacular fashion at the Joburg Theatre. Now in its 38th year, Honeyman’s beloved holiday tradition is back with a magical mix of music, dance, circus tricks, belly-hurting comedy, and a cast packed with local stars. Catch the show from Wed, Oct 29 – Wed, Dec 24, 2025. Book your tickets here.

Follow the mischievous puppet on his whimsical quest to become a real boy – meeting unforgettable characters along the way – from Papa Geppetto and Jiminy Cricket to the outrageous Dame Arletti Spaghetti. Expect stunning sets, sing-alongs, and plenty of surprises, all delivered with Honeyman’s trademark sparkle.

With an award-winning creative team and a world-class cast led by Katlego Nche as Pinocchio, this gloriously magical pantomime is a laugh-out-loud holiday treat (with just a pinch of adult humour for the grown-ups).
