Synopsis
Dig out your platforms, bouffant your hair, Swing your bellbottoms, Dick must be Lord Mayor! The Beat is throbbing, the drums are drumming, Hold on tight, Dick Whittington is coming!!!!!!!! The rock ?n' roll panto returns this November with another large slice of Christmas pudding-sized fun and frolics. Husband and wife team Sarah Nixon and Mark Chatterton have done it again and written a unique panto you can shake, rattle and roll in the aisles to as you follow Dick and his cat set off for the ancient city paved with gold. The rock ?n' roll panto is always a great night out for all the whole family. With music, dancing and lots of cheeky laughs there's something for everyone.

19 December 2011
What, you might ask, is a star of global proportions such as Dame Edna Everage doing in Dick Whittington, this year's pantomime at the New Wimbledon Theatre? It's a question she ponders herself on stage. Whatever the answer, we should be grateful that she has decided to take on the "panto genre" (as she refers to it) for the first time in her career.
It's a strange thing to comment that a performer seems constrained by a script, but Dame Edna (the on-stage and television alter-ego of comedian Barry Humphries) appears most comfortable when commenting on rather than taking part in the Dick Whittington story.
In one delightful moment, having lost the thread of the not too over complicated plot, she pulls a member of the audience on stage to borrow the programme to try and establish where we've got to in the proceedings. Pure joy.
The put-downs are as rude, as sharp and as delightful as ever. The delivery still fabulous...
