Hold on to your cats...ahem, hats, Dick Whittington is coming to Leicester in 2025!

De Montfort Hall and Imagine Theatre are proud to present, Dick Whittington! Dick and his trusty cat are heading for the town paved with gold, good old London!

When Dick realises he is penniless, he sets out on a journey to London, where the streets are reportedly paved with gold. Of course, his trusty cat joins him for this epic journey. While in London, he’ll take on King Rat and his growing army, meet the Fitzwarrens, and have a legendary adventure!

Starring BBC Radio 2’s Richie Anderson in his panto debut! One of the UK’s most recognisable voices, having been part of Zoe Ball’s breakfast show team for many years, Richie is a beloved radio and TV personality, sure to bring his infectious joy to the Leicester stage!

Adding a little sparkle to Christmas will be TV and music star, Suzanne Shaw. Rising to fame with chart-topping pop group Hear’Say, Suzanne has since enjoyed a hugely successful career in theatre and television, including Emmerdale and Dancing on Ice.

CBeebies favourite Rebecca Keatley joins the cast as Alice Fitzwarren. Best known for presenting in the CBeebies house, where she also fronts the hit show Let’s Play.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without our beloved Jarred Christmas adding hilarity to the show, and Jack Ballard dazzling as our Dame!

Award-winning beatboxer Hobbit will play the purr-fect sidekick, Tommy the Cat, and West End star Djalenga Scott will join us as the boo-able baddie Queen Rat. We can’t wait to see and hear what he brings to Dick Whittington!

With hilarious jokes, catchy songs, and panto joy for all the family, this festive treat won't disappoint!

Join us for the journey of a lifetime as we take a skip down the road (the M1 to be precise) in this family pantomime.
