Grimsby Auditorium welcomes new, hiss-terical, swashbuckling, purr-fect pantomime

Grimsby Auditorium’s pantomime Dick Whittington meets the Pirates from the Caribbean opens this Saturday (7 December) and runs until Sunday 29 December!

Back by popular demand, this year’s panto cast includes MARTIN DANIELS as Idle Jack, Emmerdale and Coronation Street Star GEMMA OATEN as Fairy Bow Bells, Star of ‘Allo ‘Allo SUE HODGE as Sherrie Trifle the Cook, ROSANNE PRIEST as Queen Rat, CHARLOTTE MACLACHLAN as Alice, CHRIS CLARKSON as Lady Fitzwarren, and SAMUEL KNIGHT as Dick Whittington.

Our hero, Dick Whittington, arrives in London seeking fame and fortune when disaster strikes. The streets aren’t paved with gold!

Broke and alone, he teams up with a lost streetwise cat. Together they embark on an epic adventure that takes them deep into the smelly sewers of London, a fight with the evil Queen Rat and her Racketeers, and finally a search for gold and glory that ends with plundering pirates and cutlasses clashing as he meets with The Pirates from the Caribbean.

Come and see Dick Whittington, Idle Jack, The Lady Fitzwarren, Queen Rat and ships cook Sherrie-Triffle with a fabulous eighteen strong cast as they all end up on board the Pirate ship ‘Blackbeard’s Buccaneer’.
