IT'S a case of the show must go on, in Middlesbrough.
Enthusiasts Bill and Alison Columbi stepped in to save the day when it looked as though Nunthorpe Players would have to cancel plans to stage a pantomime this year, for the lack of a director.
But it will be curtain up, after all, tonight on the panto, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, at St Mary's Church Hall, Morton Carr Lane, Marton.
The script was once used by the Middlesbrough Little Theatre, 23 years ago, but it has been updated to bring in fresh songs, topical events and local references.
On stage 23 years ago, at the Middlesbrough theatre, as Goldilocks, was Carol Daly, who is recreating the title role for this production, while Sandy Smith, last year's Dick Whittington, is the prince.
The show runs from today until Saturday, at 7.30pm, with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30pm.
Tickets are available from Healthcare Plus, Rookwood News and the Avenue Fish Shop.
