With just weeks to go until this year’s pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, opens at Newcastle Theatre Royal, the Theatre Royal and Crossroads Pantomimes are delighted to reveal that a legendary adventure – Robin Hood – will take to the Grey Street stage for the 2027/28 festive season!
Take aim for a festive spectacular as Danny Adams leads the cast of Robin Hood, playing the sharp-shot hero himself. Joining him are pantomime legends Clive Webb as Friar Tuck, Chris Hayward returning for his 20th season as the much-loved Dame, and South Shields’ singing sensation Joe McElderry as Will Scarlett.
When the evil Sheriff of Nottingham crowns himself King of England, it spells trouble! Luckily, Robin Hood, his ragtag band of Merrie Men and the fearless Maid Marion have a plan to save the day. But will they hit the bullseye?
Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, dazzling special effects and larger-than-life fun, Robin Hood promises magnificent costumes and spectacular sets from The London Palladium, and all the festive magic audiences have come to expect from Newcastle Theatre Royal’s legendary pantomime.
Over 75,000 tickets have already been allocated for Jack and the Beanstalk, so don’t miss your chance to see the North East’s fastest-selling pantomime. Book your tickets for Robin Hood early – the more the merrier!
Michael Harrison, Producer of the Newcastle Theatre Royal pantomime, said:
“We’re delighted to be bringing Robin Hood to Newcastle Theatre Royal for the 2027/28 festive season. It’s one of the great pantomime adventures, with a brilliant story, wonderful characters and plenty of opportunities for the comedy, spectacle and audience participation that our audiences know and love. We already have some fantastic ideas in store, and I can’t wait to see Danny, Clive, Chris and Joe bring this legendary tale to life.”
Chief Executive of Newcastle Theatre Royal, Marianne Locatori, added:
“Every year our pantomime brings families and friends together from across the North East, and we’re thrilled to be announcing another spectacular show for our audiences.
