The Mystery Inc.
gang is back - live on stage with some comic strip hokum another new mystery to
solve.
And we’re here to
help them! It’s a no holds-barred adventure with Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Velma
and Daphne, who are in Egypt and – surprise surprise – come across some
mysterious mummies.
The mystery of
Pharaoh Hatchepsout's Pyramid brings some classic panto-style fun along with the
traditional Scooby fun we’ve come accustomed to over the past 40 years or so.
The gang is in
Egypt thanks to Velma’s friend Otto, who needs some help with a troubling
mystery. Creepy but fun, it’s a surefire hit for all the
family.
Lots of music
and dance, awesome special effects and some good old slapstick combine with a
typically Scooby-style story and the wrath of a pharaoh who’s more than happy to
transform to stone anyone who dares approach the pyramid!
You might soon
guess who the villain is – but that doesn’t matter as the audience
participation, gags and singing keep the show bouncing
along.
There were
rumours of a real Great Dane in the role of our four-legged hero but although
it’s not a real-life doggie-detective on stage, the central character is
wonderfully brought to life thanks to the skills of the cast and the audience’s
own imagination.
Scooby-Doo is
unique in that it’s a cartoon made in the 1960s that’s still being produced and
broadcast today. It spans the generations and so does this live tour, which
reaches its final leg in Nottingham.
Among the
children’s TV shows which we’ve seen translated to the stage in Nottingham this
has to be one of the best, with superb sets, sound and production making it a
slick experience.
