NO
PAWS IN PANTO FUN AS NEWCASTLE THEATRE ROYAL ANNOUNCES GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS FOR 2018/19
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Newcastle Theatre Royal
Tuesday 27th November
2018 – Sunday 20th January 2019
The
doors have not yet opened for 2017/8’s record-breaking panto Peter Pan but Newcastle Theatre Royal
has today announced a rip-roaring show for
2018/9 – Goldilocks and The Three
Bears, the pantomime that’s just right!
A
rollicking adventure is once again in store for seasonal favourites Clive,
Danny and Dame Chris, the stars of next year’s big top family panto
extravaganza. In Goldilocks and the Three Bears audiences will go straight into the
fun of the fair as Danny The Clown, Ringmaster Clive Webb and Dame Rita attempt
to save their Big Top from disaster. Expect magic, music, mayhem and plenty of porridge!
Produced by Qdos
Entertainment, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, Goldilocks and the Three Bears – the Pantomime that’s just right! promises everything that Theatre Royal audiences have come to expect,
and more. Spellbinding choreography,
glittering sets, breath-taking special effects and a wonderful musical score
form the backdrop to a tale full of adventure, hilarious slap-stick and new for
this year – a host of jaw-dropping circus acts. Will Danny win the hand
of the beautiful Goldilocks? It might just take three amazing bears to join the
circus and save the day.
Theatre Royal pantomimes are widely thought to be
among the best in the UK, due to the winning combination of father and son team
Clive and Danny - for whom Goldilocks
will mark their fourteenth consecutive Theatre Royal panto appearance – and
their West End production quality. This
combination is brought together by Newcastle’s own Michael Harrison, who
co-writes, produces and directs the show.
Theatre Royal Chief Executive
Philip Bernays said: “It’s exciting to be able to whet our audience’s appetite
for next year’s show before we even open this one. We tend to find that people race from the
auditorium to the box office to snap up their seats for the following year so
we need to be ready!
He added: “This year’s production of Peter Pan promises to be another spectacular show and has
broken a new record with a staggering 80,000 tickets sold prior to opening. We are so very proud of our pantomimes, but
never wish to rest on our laurels. This
is a competitive industry and we need to make sure that we are at the top of
our game every single year. With Goldilocks
and the Three Bears we have a show that profiles Clive and Danny’s
incredible circus skills to an extent of no panto before. It’s going to be sublimely entertaining.
“It’s thanks to a superb cast,
incredible staging, expert behind-the-scenes team and the talent of top West
End producer Michael Harrison that we can keep delivering what is considered
not only the biggest panto in the region but one of the best festive
spectaculars anywhere in the country.”
