Fresh from last year's giant pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, Matt Nolan Creative for the Cheltenham Playhouse is BACK with Dick Whittington!
Dick dreams of the bright lights of London Town, and he cannot wait to leave his old life at 'The Whittington', in Gloucestershire, behind him as he seeks fame and fortune. Hanging up his pot washing, pint pouring and bingo calling for good because he is destined to be a STAR!
Join Dick on the adventure of a lifetime! Will the street be pathed in gold? Will he find fame at last? Will his furry feline friend prove useful? Will King Rat hold him back?! There's only one way to find out.
Grab tickets this Christmas for our annual pantomime! Blending enchanted singing, phenomenal dancing and real magic to create an unforgettable pantomime at the Cheltenham Playhouse.
Welcoming back Kieran Mortell who will be swapping his udders for a furry tail as he is Dick's Cat! This is a comedy pantomime not to be missed!
We can't wait to see you back at Cheltenham's ridiculously affordable, hilarious, professional pantomime this December, featuring the incredible Theatre Studio ensemble!
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!
