Get ready for an unforgettable family experience as the enchanting pantomime Robinson Crusoe comes to Hull and Bridlington, featuring beloved current and former BBC presenters and staff.
This thrilling production, which is definitely NOT the BBC panto, will see the return of former BBC Radio Humberside presenters Andy Comfort, Carl Wheatley, Judi Murden and Jonathan Parker starring alongside Sally Fairfax, Mike White, Clare Crooks and BBC Look North’s Phillip Norton, Caroline Bilton and Phil Squire.
It’s 25 years since the team staged, Cinderella, their first pantomime together. Join them on a journey of adventure, laughter and heartwarming moments as Robinson Crusoe battles the elements and navigates his way through an island filled with surprises, friendship and fun. The production promises to deliver all the magic and excitement that families love about pantomime.
Carl Wheatley, former Breakfast Presenter on BBC Radio Humberside, said: “It’s fabulous to be getting the old gang back together for another run of panto shows. Audiences loved the performances over 20 years ago, and even though many of us have moved on to other jobs, we can’t wait to bring Robinson Crusoe to life in Hull and Bridlington.”
Jonathan Parker, former Westenders Presenter and panto dame, said: “We can’t wait to get started. When I asked if anyone would be interested in a reunion everyone said yes straight away. We’ll have so much fun and raise some funds for BBC Children in Need while doing it. We’ve planned more than a few surprises for audiences – and can’t wait to hear the reaction.”
Robinson Crusoe will be staged at Bridlington Spa Theatre on Friday 17 January at 7:30pm, and Hull City Hall on Saturday 18 January at 2pm and 7pm.
