About the show
Prepare to be transported to a world of magic, mischief, and mayhem as our arrow-shooting hero, Robin Hood, and his band of Merry Men take on the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham.
Street dance sensations Ashley Banjo & Diversity lead this action-packed pantomime as Robin Hood & The Merry Men. Joining the star line-up is much-loved comedian and ventriloquist Max Fulham, returning to Southampton to play Will Scarlett.
The sparkling cast is completed by musical theatre stars Nic Greenshields as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Amelia Walker as The Spirit of Sherwood, and Kirsty Ingram as Maid Marion.
With stunning scenery and dazzling costumes from The London Palladium, Robin Hood promises all the ingredients of an unmissable pantomime: laugh-out-loud comedy, bundles of audience participation, astonishing special effects, and plenty of boos and hisses for the whole family to enjoy.
