Dick Whittington

 There are no facilites for flying scenery sp scene-changes rely totally on curtains and drapes being changes as required. I

 congratulate the stage hands on their speedy efficiency.

All the main characters suited their roles admirably. Abbie Rodgers as

 Dick and Beth Newell as Alice Fitzwarren possess delightful singing voices, Jemma Purdy was notable as Tommy the Cat, Sam Mitchel was a

 fearsome King Rat while Andrew Jackson [Sarah the Cook]., Dion Oldridge[Idle Jack] and both Phillip Robinson [Ald. Fitzwarren] and

 Joe Graham [Capt Cuttle] were well chosen.

 I enjoyed the choice of musical numbers and the children's dance routines were performed with precision. Those in charge of the

costumes deserve a pat on the back and the lighting and sound effects added much to the success of this lively panto. Well done.
