Dick Whittington: The Rock 'n' Roll Panto
We are pleased to announce that Dick Whittington has been given the Rock ‘n’ Roll treatment (from the enchanted pen of Peter Rowe) and will be rocking The Varieties stage over Christmas 2022.
You’ll be wowed by this breath-taking production which mixes traditional elements of audience participation and corny gags with a jukebox full of classic rock anthems and chart-toppers, all performed live on stage by our ultra-talented cast of actor-musicians.
‘Dramatic panto warning’: our Rock ’n’ Roll Panto‘s contain loud music, smoke effects, flashing lights and possibly a few squirts too, plus loud bangs from the explosive action on-stage (we did warn you about the corny gags!). From experience, we don’t recommend our panto for children under four-years-old, but if you do want to bring younger children, we recommend ear defenders, and you will be required to purchase a ticket for any child aged one upwards. Finally, and much to our regret, we must inform you that, if your child is causing a disturbance and disrupting the performance for others, you will be asked to remove them from the auditorium until able to return (refunds will not be given). Dramatic warning over. Enjoy the show!
