One of my colleagues had mentioned the Hart House Theatre in one of our conversations and how much she enjoyed the plays the theatre has put on. So I thought I’d check out what was playing. There was, at the time I checked online, two or three shows still left for the 2012 / 2013 season. Robin Hood: The Legendary Musical Comedy seemed like something fun to see.
Robin Hood is a Canadian-made musical, developed by the director and members of Halifax’s Shakespeare by the Sea in 2005. Hart House Theatre’s production runs til January 26, 2013. The cost of a ticket was reasonable at $25 per adult (student and senior tickets are $15) and the theatre was small enough that anywhere would seem like a good place to sit. I managed to get a front row seat.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show as it was very entertaining and mostly funny. Everyone in the audiences seemed to enjoy it too with many scenes getting the audience laughing. A few scenes, I thought, were a little silly but it only added to the entertainment.
