The rock’n’roll Hull panto is back with a helter-skelter take on the classic fairy tale.
An award-winning Hull theatre company celebrate their tenth panto anniversary this Christmas with a return to their spiritual home on Humber Street.
Middle Child’s Rapunz’ull, at Social from 16-24 December, is a rock’n’roll , helter-skelter take on the classic fairy tale, set at Hull Fair.
Waltzing wanderer Rapunzel is the heart of Hull Fair, bold as brass and always seeking adventure.
Pattie Breadcake is the fair’s worst fortune teller, forever casting chip spice to predict the future and find a fella.
And mayor Gothel is the wicked goblin who’s locked them both in a tower far, far away.
He plans to bottle Rapunzel’s sorcery and become richer than Bezos, Branson and Mr Burns put together.
But not if the mighty lass with the magic hair and you – the revolutionary people of Hull – have anything to do with it!
With live music, mess galore and the chance to make as much noise as you can, the Middle Child panto returns to Humber Street with a story voted for by the audience of their last live panto, The Little Mermaid.
