Set sail with Sinbad on the most fantastic voyage you have ever been on. There will be Mermaids floating underwater and a giant Rock Bird literally flying in. Follow Sinbad, his brother Tinbad, his Mother Dame Salubria Fatima as they set out to rescue the beautiful Princess Pearl who has been kidnapped by Sinistra and his three Henchmen Pirates. Meet the beautiful sand dancing Camel and the giant teddy who Tinbad carries around with him. But you mustn’t forget to shout out when you see the Gorilla, or whoop with delight at the tap dancing Dodo. Sinbad’s quest is to save the Princess from a horrible fate and return the Magic Crystal to the Fairy, it’s rightful owner. Only you can join us on the voyage, Only you can visit the lost world and experience all the wonders you can imagine. We have gathered, stunt performers from around the world, Gymnasts from the Circus, and the best in Pantomime and musical theatre to make this pantomime the most memorable ever. But don’t just take our word for it!
“Sinbad? Very good!” Review: “PENDLE Productions’ decision to steer clear of more familiar pantomime stories paid dividends as they staged a lively show with colourful costumes. The Tivoli has had the old wooden grid system above the stage replaced with a steel one, and it enabled a series of flying sequences to be tried out with tremendous success. I can only guess at the co-ordination that was required backstage to enable a mermaid and an enormous bird to fly across the stage. Couple this with Coco the Monkey played by Anna Abrams, whose fine acrobatics enthralled us all, and you have a roaring success. The usual pantomime traditions, including shouts of “He’s behind you” and audience participation, were thoroughly enjoyed by both young and old. Director Tim Lince is to be congratulated on a show that delivered a sense of fun and frivolity, where the pace never faltered.”
