SHOW: Robin Hood. 24 adult and 6 child actors and singers are needed for this Christmas musical comedy.
Join Beijing Playhouse for song and dance this Christmas. A fairy tale for the children with a whole level of humor for the adults—a Christmas musical comedy for adults and children alike. In true British comedy tradition, audience members are invited to cheer and boo and hiss as Robin, Maid Marian, and Friar Tuck rob from Santa and give to the poor. No, wait, that's not it. Uh, rob from the rich and give to Santa. Or something like that. Join the friends of Sherwood Forest as they help King John discover the magic of Christmas. Be prepared for a whole new zany twist on a classic story.
Robin Hood has served up raucous family entertainment on the West End every Christmas for centuries. A cast of 30, with crazy Christmas costumes and happy music, make this show perfect for families—especially children.
