He’s back! Kenneth Alan Taylor returns to the stage as Nurse Nellie Noggins in the ultimate Nottingham pantomime.

John Elkington is the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, who has hatched a cunning plan to dispose of his niece and nephew in Sherwood Forest so that he can inherit their fortune.

Can our favourite outlaw Robin Hood save the day and win the heart of Maid Marian? Together with hundreds, yes hundreds of Merry Men, Robin sets out on his biggest adventure so far!

Filled with crazy slapstick jokes, song-and-dance routines, stunning costumes and spectacular sparkly sets, it’s the perfect winter treat for all the family.

Geri from United Kingdom
Stunning performance as usual, fabulous costumes, hysterical script - an amazing night - so good for the soul !

Caroline Davis from Risley Derbyshire
The Playhouse Panto is the official start of Christmas for me. It was fantastic this year - as it ALWAYS is! I come away with aching sides and sore hands from laughing and clapping. Great fun, I love it!

Helen Auty from Nottingham
What a fantastic night! My granddaughter and her British husband who live in Long Eaton, treated her mother and me to last night's performance. She gave no hint about content so we assumed it would be adult oriented! Were we ever surprised! We laughed, clapped, booed, sang and danced right along with the wonderful audience. I only hope the States will get a touring company to entertain US!! The cast, scenery and everything else was marvelous. Kudos to Nottingham Playhouse.

Kay McCarthy from Spartanburg,SC USA
Ever since I can remember I've been going to these pantos, and well Kenneth Alan Taylor, you've done it again, you've amazed me!
I always look forward to see your pantos every year! The costumes were amazing, the acting,singing and dancing was flawless! I came away so inspired! x
Great fun- can't wait until next year's! You'll definitely be seeing my face again!

Abbie from Hucknall, Nottingham
Another great panto from KAT! Superb cast and acting. My dad was making his first visit to a panto for over 40 years. He was joining in all evening. The highlights were the rabbbit and the birds. This is now a Christmas tradition in my family.

Thomas Leleux from Ilkeston
I brought my little girl to the panto for the first time this year and she loved it. I felt like a little kid again and thought it was brilliant. It brought back fond memories of years ago when I went as a child. I will definitely be coming back to next year's panto!

zoe from nottingham
Another fantastic pantomime. Thanks to all the cast who signed Xenias programme. See you all next year xxx

Val & Xenia from Nottingham
Amazing I would c it again because in few words robin hood was HOT!!!!

liz from nottingham
Thoroughly enjoyed Robin Hood & Babes in the Wood. It was fun, lively and so professional. Came 12th January and yet the performance was fresh as if the run had just started. Well done.

Shelagh Clarke from Nottingham
A great family night out that was enjoyed by all from the little ones aged 4 to great grandma aged 84. We all laughed so much. Arnold Clifton had us in stitches from the moment he walked on stage to the final curtain. The entire cast cast were superb. The dancers never put a foot wrong. A very handsome Robin Hood and the awesome Nelly. It's very rare to find something that all the family can enjoy but Kenneth Alan Taylor and Nottingham Playhouse have managed it once again. You all deserve a huge thank you.

Mandy from Nottingham
Excellent Panto once again. Been coming to the Playhouse Panto's for years and they never disappoint. Well done everyone, you all did a great job :))

Claire from Nottingham

Claire from Nottingham
Fantastic come every year with grand children's have meal first then the pantomime they love love putting on party frocks for the event,only trouble is you have to book so early to get a seat, so that says it all. Excellent.

Jenny Morris from Radcliffe on Trent
You're never dissappointed with the Playhouse Panto...true to form, an excellent performance by all; although i have to say Nellie, you were out done by 'Arnold' this time around...hillarious! It's a pity it only comes round once a year.
