"The magical 3D pantomime adventure"
It's the most wonderful time of the year...I just LOVE Christmas! All the preparation that you do, wrapping gifts, the tree and tinsel, the turkey, seeing family and friends..Phew!!!...
What is there that will keep you feeling Christmassy from now and all the way into to the New Year??
A traditional, magical, sparkling panto - that's what! oh no it isn't...oh yes it is!!! (sorry, I couldn't resist the chance to write that!)
Robin Hood is at Milton Keynes Theatre and it is the perfect way to treat all the family to a great festive night out. It's such fantastic entertainment for the young and young at heart!
This production has all the perfect ingredients for the classic panto - great songs, cheesy jokes, slap stick comedy, too much glitter and much more!
Shane Richie tops the bill as the as the dashing and daring Robin, Richie is brilliant (you can't help but just see him as Alfie from Eastenders though and there are so many references to the character) It doesn't deter from his performance, it enhances it. From start to finish he jokes and plays the part - the audience absolutely loved him...
Robin's partner in crime is the jolly Friar Tuck (Peter Piper) the two literally bounced off each other. Some of the shenanigans on stage...you are not really sure if they were in the script or not? Pure panto magic.
Pete Gallagher plays the boo-able baddy The Sheriff of Nottingham - any panto wouldn't be complete without someone to boo at!!??
The costumes are stunning, very clever - big, bright and just so OTT... just brilliant and what you would expect from a glittering Christmas panto! There are loads of surprises in the production from an animatronic forest monster to a fabulous 3D section.
Watch out for Merlin the Magician (Phil Hitchcock) who performed magic live and The Merry Men (The Acromaniacs) flying and flipping across the stage - the audience were in awe.
The live music, the laughter that rings in your ears and the songs that you hum as you leave - all adds up to a magical experience that is perfect for all the family to share.
Book it now and keep that Christmas spirit going!!
