The story of Goldilocks finding the three Bears, just the act to revive her mother's failing circus, was new to me but, as written a long time ago, presented difficulties in matching modern expectations, though the Bears were loved by everyone and 15-year-old Goldilocks gave a towering performance, self-sufficient in every aspect. Brilliance from their scenery and costume departments, but, with music played as if on a genuuine fairground, not a lot of song lyrics were heard.
