Pantomimes
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Spotlight Theatre presents Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, a reimagined pantomime adventure running away to the circus. This year, Goldilocks ditches the porridge for big top action in a fresh take on the classic tale. Expect belly laughs, bold costumes, and circus tricks throughout the 140-minute show. The cast deliver the panto madness audiences know and love, with a totally new storyline and wild energy. This version strips away the traditional cottage setting entirely, replacing it with circus spectacle and surprises. There's a 20-minute interval built in. Pantomime remains a Midlands Christmas tradition, and this circus-themed spin offers something genuinely different for families who've seen the story before.
