Little Robin Redbreast

Monday 7 - Sunday 27 December

LITTLE ROBIN REDBREAST

Christmas is coming and little Robin is very, very excited. 

To help him count down the days, Mummy and Daddy have given Robin an advent calendar. Behind every window is a picture and every picture tells a story. Join Robin as he embarks upon a magical quest, encountering a street wise squirrel, an attention seeking mouse, a family of reindeer and a curious cat.

From the writers of The Night Before Christmas and The Tailor of Gloucester, Little Robin Redbreast is full of magic, laughter, song, dance and surprise for children and their grownups.

“A spell-binding treat” Musical Theatre Review (from previous production)

The cast features many familiar faces to the Salisbury Playhouse stage: Bernadette Bangura who shaked and shimmied as the Sheriff's Spanish housekeeper, Consuela in Salisbury Playhouse hit pantomime Robin Hood last year. Bangura was also the finalist in All Together Now, BBC; Jesus Christ Superstar, London’s Barbican. We also welcome back Ryan Heenan who just before lockdown was at the RSC in Robbie Williams adaptation of David Walliams The Boy in the Dress and has also played the lead in another Walliams adaptation, Billionaire Boy. Other credits include Moonfleet, Salisbury Playhouse and Grease, UK tour; Sweeney Todd, Derby Theatre. They are joined by Philippa Hogg (Little Robin Redbreast, 2017, Cinderella, The Riverfront Newport)  and Dan Smith (Little Robin Redbreast, 2017, Moonfleet and Worst Wedding Ever, Salisbury Playhouse).
