ABOUT THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR ’ S NOTE
Journey into the depths of Sherwood Forest and discover the hilarious truth behind the legend of Robin Hood in this musical comedy!
Living and writing in the heart of Sherwood Forest, who better than best-selling author Craig Hawes to lift the lid on the legend you thought you knew?
When the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and his gormless guards threaten the villagers of Sherwood, feisty Maid Marion hires a band of freedom fighters for protection. But when Robin and his Merry Men arrive, she soon discovers they’re not exactly what she’d ordered!
With no time to lose, she persuades these hapless heroes to take centre stage for the performance of their lives - if only they could stick to the script!
Follow the most outrageous outlaws in history on their side-splitting, action-packed adventure to defeat the dastardly Sheriff, storm Nottingham Castle, rescue Maid Marion and overthrow King John - all without laddering their tights!
This hysterical show is a riotous romp through the medieval mayhem of Merry England, splattered with shocks and surprises, crazy characters and comic capers. With a score full of catchy, show-stopping songs and a wonderfully witty script as sharp as an arrow, this musical comedy is on target to send you all a-quiver!
Our Junior School is proud to present Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies - a toe-tickling tale of tights, fights and the kind of mayhem only a school stage can deliver!
This show has been a joy to bring to life with its mix of cheeky humour, fast-paced action, and heartfelt moments. From the auditions through to the final rehearsal, our students have poured energy, talent, and teamwork into every scene and song. They have shown spirit, courage and commitment as they have discovered the joy of storytelling. Our staff have been instrumental in shaping this production, working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Thank you for joining us on this journey into Sherwood Forest. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing it to the stage.

Our students have embraced this hilarious musical adventure with enthusiasm, creativity, and a wonderful sense of fun. From learning lines and lyrics to mastering choreography and comic timing, they have shown outstanding commitment and teamwork throughout the rehearsal process. Watching their confidence grow and their joy shine on stage has been truly inspiring.
Productions like this are a celebration of so much more than performance. They reflect the spirit of our learning community - where courage, collaboration, and curiosity come to life. I would like to thank our dedicated staff, especially our incredible director and creative team, for guiding and supporting the students every step of the way. Thank you also to our families for your encouragement and involvement - your support makes opportunities like this possible.
