We are pleased to announce our 2026 pantomime!

After the huge success of last year’s best-selling pantomime ‘Cinderella’ we are excited to be returning to the beautiful McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater for our 12th year with one of the greatest traditional, British pantomimes of all time…..‘DICK WHITTINGTON’

 

Join the plucky Dick Whittington and his best friend Charley the Cat on their quest for fame and fortune in the bright lights of London, where they believe the streets are paved with gold. However, when they arrive they actually find the streets are indeed paved with rats, with the evil ‘King Rat’ at the realm. With the help of their new friends, ‘Alice Fitzwarren & Sarah The Cook’ will they defeat these riotous rats and save London?

 

Packed with all the traditional pantomime ingredients, this spectacular festive production promises all the usual Laugh-out-loud comedy, feel- good singalong songs, stunning sets and scenery, beautiful costumes, an incredible cast, our awesome live band and some breathtaking magic!

 

Starring Bridgwater’s favourite Dame ‘Adam Spedding’ who will be stepping back into the frock this year as ‘Dame Sarah the Cook’ And your favourite panto couple ‘Paul Murphy & Charlene James’ will be reprising their roles of ‘Charley The Cat’ (Charlene) and the Evil ‘King Rat’ (Paul) Plus some more familiar faces you know and love, including Bridgwater's own 'Krazy Kev & Dinky Dino'!​
