See Dick Whittington in Ferndown this October

Local theatregoers won’t have to wait until December to see a panto as Phoenix Musical Theatre is staging ‘Dick Whittington’ at The Barrington Centre in Ferndown this October.

Join young Dick on his whirlwind journey from a humble village to the bustling streets of Old London Town — and all the way to the shores of far-off lands. With his loyal cat by his side, he dreams of fame, fortune, and becoming Lord Mayor. Along the way, he’ll face villainous rats, riotous sea voyages, slapstick mishaps, and the kind of feel-good romance only pantomime can deliver.

Packed with toe-tapping songs, dazzling costumes, hilarious comedy routines, and plenty of ‘Oh yes it is!’ moments, this promises to be a laugh-out-loud, sing-along spectacular for the whole family.

Expect magic, mischief, and more than a few surprises as they prove once and for all that the streets of London really are paved with gold.

Performances are on 9, 10 and 11 October at 7.30pm plus a matinee at 2.30pm on the Saturday.
