Robin Hood Tickets

What a great afternoon of entertainment for both adults and children and to see "families" enjoying this special time together is a perfect picture. Ross Petty and his crew once again came up with the right formula to captivated the audience. The onstage talent was some of the best yet and the endless panto moments, some being so very current, that it made you appreciate even more the ad lib ability of the team. It was funny, it was delightful. It was another class act of exposing children to live theatre. Congrats for an outstanding show.

Superb fun! All ages friendly. Recommend to all, especially those with youngsters. Engages the entire audience with adlib moments to remember.

This was the best yet - it has been our 4th year attending and it was the best by far!!! Get performance by all. Our family - ages 5, 14, 16, 45 and 50 - all thought it was the best!!!! Thanks for a great show - looking forward to next year - what is it?

Great performance. Someone must have had to change a few lines to get the references to Tiger Woods in it. A very revolutionary fairytale story.

I really enjoyed Robin Hood. I've been to a Ross Petty's play before, so I knew what to expect. The stories are for the kids, but the jokes are aimed at the Canadian adults, who brought the kids. It's a win-win combination.

We've taken in Ross Petty's annual pantomime production for the past seven years so I have lots of great memories from this terrific Toronto Christmas tradition. This year's fractured fairy tale was fun but compared with past productions (in particular Aladdin and Cinderella), Robin Hood felt flat. Maybe it was the night (Saturday, December 6th) but the Elgin just didn't seem to come alive as it has in past years. We usually attend a Sunday matinee about a week closer to Christmas and we will probably try for that again next year but the audience this year wasn't as raucous as I've seen previously. The two leads playing Maid Marian and Robin Hood were adequate but didn't knock your socks off. The real scene stealer was Nurse Plumbum Von Botox, played by Dan Chameroy in drag. He was also one of the evil stepsisters in Cinderella last year and he was an absolute hoot. One of the Merry Men was played by Jaz Sealey, who exudes charisma and has that special extra that gives actors stage presence. He's a talented young dancer and vocalist who has a long career ahead of him. My final fave was the Sheriff's henchman, Pinch, played by Colin Heath. Excellent, versatile actor who excels in physical comedy. Finally, we were surprised that Ross Petty was so subdued in his role as the Sheriff. Notwithstanding the fact that he is at his best dressed as a woman, we felt that this year he stepped back a bit from the spotlight and are at a loss to understand why. We really appreciate his efforts to put on these musicals year after year; we hope that this year was not an indication that he is bowing out gracefully (although after 14 years, you can hardly blame him). Don't get me wrong, this was FUN and the musical numbers were generally great (lots of 70's and 80's material for some reason). Toronto is so fortunate to have this for the kids as an alternative to the more serious holiday events such as The Nutcracker. Go, you won't be disappointed; however, for next year I will be hoping for a bit more zip and pizazz. The pool of talent from Canadian Idol is impressive but the panto is special when Canadian icons such as Kurt Browning, Rex Harrington, Sean Cullen or Bret Hart take centre stage (even if they struggle a bit with the musical numbers!)

This year's panto was a classic Ross Petty production. With a witty version of the original Robin Hood story, wonderful singing, amazing dancing and clever up-to-the-minutes references, it was the annual Christmas panto at its finest. Ross Petty even manages to dress up in drag for one scene, explaining to the audience that he didn't think they would be getting their money's worth if they didn't see him dresses as a woman. I loved it. My friends loved it. The audience loved it. Do yourself a favour and see the show for yourself. You won't regret it.

Robin Hood was fantastic! The highlight of our holiday season is to attend a Ross Petty production, and this year was one of THE best. Eva Avila was incredible to hear sing live. Yvan Pednneault, was an amazing surprise, and Jessica Holmes took the show to a whole new level of comedy. A must see for the whole family!

So much fun, the cast is excellent and the music well done. Clever, witty entertainment for all ages.

OMG I LAUGHED BY BUNS OFF. YOU SING, YOU DANCE IN YOUR SEATS, AND LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH. GREAT FOR ALL AGES. EXCELLENT

I was delighted with my evening's entertainment. The improv and audience interaction was fantastic. This will become part of my annual holiday celebration.

My daughter and I have been going to the Pantos since the last Robin Hood and we still have an out and out laugh riot every time !! My daughter loves Yvan ( saw him in WWRY as well ) and I found Jessica, Dan and Colin to be funny as HECK ( Jessica's Celine got the show off to a fantastic start... should do LIZA as well !! ). Looking forward to next years show... but the rest of you do not miss going to see ROBIN HOOD..... oh yeah... you were good too, Ross.... love to Boo and Hiss every time we see you... such evil ..... LOL

Great show, fantastic singing and good laughs. Loved all the ad lib's. It was my 3 yr olds intro to the theatre thanks Ross Petty. Kept'm coming, the shows I mean.

We are constantly impressed by the Ross Petty performances! This is absolutely the best production we've seen by him. It is a fabulous show for both children & adults. Hilarious! Witty! Entertaining!

LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! It is a traditional family event we go every year. A chance for grandmother, aunt and nieces to got together. We all loved it and it was such a funny active wonderfully fun show. Highest reccomendations to all!! Must see family event, we enjoyed it so much we are still talking about this year and the previous years we went. We are waiting for next year's show revel, can't wait, Thank you

My 4 year old niece loved the show. The actors included the audience, especially the children in the dialogue of the show. The children loved to "boo" the Sheriff and laugh at "Pinch". The adults in the audience had just as good a time as the kids. Some of the jokes were above the kids head, but the dialogue remained "clean" and very up-to-date with political satire. The basic theme of good winning over evil and saving the environment was presented in a comical, musical and thoroughly enjoyable way. Don't miss this time honoured family fun?

This is my third consecutive year watching these holiday productions. They're a lot of fun for kids and have plenty or comedic references for adults. They may not be the most polished of productions, but they're done in the spirit of good clean fun and sometimes the odd flubs just make it more enjoyable. If you have kids, bring them. They'll get into the show. Lots for them to cheer at and boo.

Great to see that you are soliciting reviews. I was surprised that the theatre was not full. However, the show as great and this continues to be a great yearly tradition in our family. Kudos to Ross and Co.

This is such a wonderful tradition in Toronto. Ross Petty deserves some sort of award for going to all this trouble to provide us with a nasty Xmas show for families every year that is the antithesis of nutcracker purism. Thank God he enjoys it enough so that I have somewhere else to introduce my grandkids to theatre, and to see the latest in hot, young local talent. A big thanks Ross for making sure you share the stage every year with a totally different brew of talented youngsters; good for you! Robin Hood's female starlett this year has an amazing voice. The music is even funker this year, with the treat of a moon walking hip black dude dubbed rubber man by me. And oh my word the lithping enviro fairy had the kids and I totally cracking up. Hats off to the whole cast., and thanks Ross, for an absolutely wonderful night as usual at Christmas!

My daughter and her family LOVED it - said it was definitely "the best pantomime yet" ... and they've been to them all! Going to the Pantomime at Christmas has been a tradition in my family since I was a young girl, first in England, then Ireland, and now in Canada. My parents took us, I took my five children, and now my 12 grandchildren also get to go as THEIR Christmas tradition! We all try to go to the same performance, but this year 4 went on Nov.28, and 13 more are going on Dec. 5th. fyi: (A couple of years ago, we found it a bit "smutty", and thought it unsuitable for young children)
