Robin Hood rides into town for pantomime

THE world premiere of a Malton and Norton Musical Theatres new pantomime, Robin Hood, written by local West End star and former company member, Scott Garnham takes to the stage this weekend.

Directed by John Hall, with musical direction by Mike Thompson, and choreography by Rebecca Neacsu, the production runs at the Milton Rooms, Malton, from January 16 to January 24, with shows at 7.15pm, except Sunday, and matinee performances on both Saturdays at 2.15pm.

Lead roles feature Paula Cook as Robin Hood, Adam Hymas as The Sheriff, Ben Greenhough as Will Scarlet, Margaret Lukey as Terroressa the Wicked, Matthew Hodsman as Willow, Ria Williams as Maid Marion and local panto stalwart Mark Boler in the dame role as Nurse Nelly.

A full company supporting cast of more than 60 includes Neil Paylor, Finn Dalton, Claire Fowler and Graeme Hargreaves, as well as chorus members and junior and senior dancers from Kirkham Henry Performing Arts.

The panto tells the story of children Jack and Jills kidnap, at the hands of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, and subsequent rescue by Robin Hood and his band of Merrymen.

Along the way theres the usual slapstick of panto, good and evil, all accompanied by an extravaganza of music and dance.
