After last year's giant smash-hit Jack and the Beanstalk, Matt Nolan Creative and the Cheltenham Playhouse are BACK with another magical adventure... Dick Whittington!
Dick has big dreams of the bright lights of London Town. He's ready to leave his old life in Gloucester behind and chase a dazzling future of fame and fortune. He's certain he's destined to be a STAR, but will the streets really be paved with gold?
Join Dick and his purr-fect feline sidekick as they set off on the adventure of a lifetime!
😼 Will Kitty help or cause chaos?
πŸ€ Will the evil King Rat stop them in their tracks?
⭐ And will Dick finally find the fame he longs for?
Expect show-stopping songs, dazzling dance numbers and real-life stage magic, all wrapped up in classic panto silliness and sparkle.
We're thrilled to welcome back Kieran Mortell for his third year as Director, bringing his trademark comedy genius to the Cheltenham Playhouse stage once again!
πŸŽ„ Don't miss Cheltenham's most hilarious and heartwarming Christmas tradition, featuring the fabulous in-house Theatre Studio ensemble.

Book now for a pantomime that promises belly laughs, festive cheer and memories to last a lifetime!
Content Warning
Pantomime is fun for everyone, however the production can have effects that are loud, humour that is aimed at adults and instances where actors may get the audience involved! Please keep this in mind when booking tickets if any of your party are younger than 5, or of a sensitive disposition. We pride ourselves on inclusivity and have scheduled relaxed and signed performances.
There are adult only shows (18+) so please double check the performance you're booking.
Performance contains, smoke, haze, strobe, loud music, audience interaction.
For the relaxed performances, several changes have been made to make the show more suited to those who prefer a more relaxed environment. The script is the same, but regular theatre 'rules' are relaxed, house lights will be left up, sound and lighting levels will be less intense, and you're welcome to come and go during the performance. There will also be extra staff and volunteers on-site to support. The Cheltenham Playhouse is proud to be welcoming to all, so if you have any further information, questions, or accommodations, please don't hesitate to contact our box office, who will be happy to help! Please note for those with epilepsy, the performances may not be suitable.
