Reviews

“If you’re looking for a festive treat that will have you laughing, singing, and even dancing in the aisles, look no further than Jack and the Beanstalk at the Gatehouse Theatre. This year’s panto is a sensational mix of high-energy fun, heartwarming moments, and truly stand-out performances that make it an unforgettable night for all ages.” Vibe 1

“This Fee-Fi-Fo-Fumtastic performance, held in a delightful and intimate setting, provides laughter for the whole family (including terrible jokes galore)! The performance is vibrant, fast-moving and we absolutely loved it! The fairy-tale plot that we all know and love is interlaced with jokes, innuendo, songs and pantomime clichés!” Yeah Lifestyle

Robin Hood and his Merry Men are far from merry.  The evil Sherriff of Nottingham has raised taxes yet again and the rumour is Maid Marion has escaped into Sherwood Forest with Penny and Peter, the Sherriff’s niece and nephew.  Robin has to inspire Friar Tuck, Little John and Alan A-Dale to help feed the poor of Nottingham, rescue Maid Marion and save the babes in the wood.

 Robin Hood promises to be a fun-filled adventure with all the usual, fabulous Rotherham panto madness.  With ticket prices you can afford even after the Sherriff’s tax rises, book now and hit the panto bullseye!
