Oromidas, ou Le Balêt de Balais ('Midas gold, or the ballet of the brooms") is a pantomime in three acts by an anonymous author, (though possibly C.E. Boniface).

The only reference to such a work is by F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the Kaapsche Courant of 21 June, 1809.

It was apparently performed in French by the French Company led by Charles Etienne Boniface, on 1 July in the African Theatre, Cape Town, with Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi (Barago/Boniface).

Bosman, 1928: pp.126.
