Nottingham Playhouse release cast for Dick Whittington pantomime




The full cast has been released for Nottingham Playhouse’s festive pantomime Dick Whittington.

The show will run from Friday, November 25 to Sturday, January 14.

Written and directed by the playhouse’s artistic director Adam Penford with set and costume design by Mark Walters and musical direction by John Morton, the show will see the return of panto favourite John Elkington, squeezing into an array of fabulous frocks to bring comedy chaos as Sarah The Cook.

He will be joined by Lisa Ambalavanar as Dick Whittington, Rosanna Bates as Alice Fitzwarren, Christopher Chandler as King Rat, Danny Hendrix as Silly Billy, Ewan Ling as Tom The Cat, TJ Lloyd as Alderman Fitzwarren and Natalie Winsor as Fairy Bowbells.

Pack up your hanky and join the plucky hero and his trusty cat on their quest for fame and fortune through London and the High Seas.

Nottingham Playhouse chief executive Stephanie Sirr said: “This year’s pantomime will be our sparkliest, funniest and most magical yet. Not only do we bring you the best performers from the West End and closer to home but we welcome back Uncle Johnnie on keys.

“He and the fantastic company will bring everyone together for a fabulous time with family and friends of all ages this Christmas.”

Alongside Dick Whittington, running from December 8 to 31, is the theatre’s annual Christmas show for younger audiences, which this year is Goldilocks And The Three Bears.

The show is written and composed by local artists, Anna Wheatley and Jack Quarton, and directed by Playhouse Associate Artist, Hannah Stone.
