Pantomime 2025/2026 - Dick Whittington & His Cat
The Purrr-fect Pantomime adventure this Christmas!

Stevenage's favourite, Aidan O'Neill, who this year is celebrating 10 years at the Gordon Craig Theatre, will cause much hilarity as Idle Jack.

Playing the title role of Dick Whittington will be EastEnders and Dancing on Ice star, Matt Lapinskas. West End icon, Darren Day, will be taking on the role of Fitzwarren - proud father to Alice and Dick Whittington's new boss.

Aidan will be reunited with Mark Siney as Sarah the Cook, whilst Steven Serlin also makes a triumphant return to play King Rat, having wowed audiences as Captain Hook last Christmas.

They will be joined by musical theatre stars Nicola Bryan as the magical Fairy Bow-Bells, Georgie Hales will be the strident Alice Fitzwarren and Daisy Fitzgerald will be the acrobatic Cat.

Join our intrepid hero Dick Whittington and his extraordinary cat on their quest for fame, fortune and fantastic adventures as they journey to London to become Lord Mayor.

Will our hero outsmart the evil King Rat and save the city from a plague of repellent rodents? Will Alice Fitzwarren lose her heart to this handsome hunk from Gloucester? Will Sarah the Cook suffer yet another soggy bottom? Find out in this timeless pantomime adventure!

Brought to you by the team behind "The New Adventures of Peter Pan", this sparkling family favourite will be packed with all the traditional pantomime ingredients with amazing special effects, stunning sets and costumes, as well as slap-stick silliness and side-splitting gags.
