Goldilocks and the Three Bears: The Pantomime

About the show

This January, join the Whitby’s Apollo Players under the big top for a panto full of laughs, thrills, and magical mayhem in Goldilocks and the Three Bears as they present their 54thannual pantomime at Whitby Pavilion Theatre.

Dame Gertie Dollop runs the show with her son, Silly Billy but they have fallen on hard times particularly with the dastardly Ringmaster Heinkel, owner of the rival ‘Circus of Horrors’ up to his devious old tricks. Goldilocks dreams of running away with the circus but her father the debt-collecting Baron Wasteland won’t allow it and demands the overdue pitch fees from Gertie and Billy.

They need a miracle however after their honeypot full of money is taken in the middle of the night by three porridge hungry, talking bears. Could they be the new star attraction Dame Gertie has been searching for? And can Mystic Sharon with her crystal ball see a future for the Circus and save the day?

Packed with toe-tapping tunes, dazzling dance numbers, and more slapstick than you can shake a juggling stick at, this is a show you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re three or ninety-three, there’s something for everyone in this bold, bright, and brilliant take on the classic tale.
