Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood, our chosen pantomime for January 2025 is back to a more traditional fairy tale Panto and at the usual time of year for NADMCS after the Christmas and New Year celebrations and back at the Alexandra Theatre!
Audition pieces will be sent out those who are interested in taking part by Friday 30th August. If you would like to receive this information and are not a paid up member for this year please can you comment on this post.Val Chapman will be directing this year, with Liz Law as choreographer and Jeff Hocking as MD.
A bit of information about the pantomime, auditions and rehearsals below:
The opening scene is set at Nottingham Goose Fayre, moves to Nottingham castle and then Sherwood Forest.
It involves a school room scene and a ghosty scene in The Dame’s boudoir! Something for everyone –goodies, baddies, comedy and music numbers that Liz and Jeff can get their teeth into!

The dates of the performances are – Tuesday 14th – Sunday 19thJanuary with Technical and Dress rehearsals on Sunday 12thand Monday 13th January. There will be the usual two performances on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th– so if you want to join in and perform or help with costumes or chaperoning in order to beat those January blues – come along and be part of our wonderful Panto team!
Auditions
Performers – auditions will be held in September to avoid clashing with summer holiday plans.
Junior Dancer auditions will be on Friday 13th September from 6.30 – 7.30pm
( sadly due to dressing room and stage space we will be looking for a smaller number of dancers, compared to last year, although we will still need to have two teams performing on alternate performances.
Also we will be looking for two sets of two Babes (female) so if any dancer is interested in the parts of the Babes (playing age 12 and 10) come along to the dancing audition and also the Sunday Principal audition.
Senior dancer and Principal auditions will be on Sunday 15th September -audition details will be emailed by 30th August along with suggested song choices.
Rehearsals for Junior dancers will start in September on Wednesday 18th, other rehearsals for chorus, principals and possibly senior dancers will start after Legally Blonde from Monday 7th October – this will be a singing rehearsal for all cast members and a read through on Tuesday 8th October.
