"Pantomimes have such a tricky job to appeal to adults and children, remaining funny and entertaining to both groups. This 'Dick Whittington' breaks no new ground, but will delight the children in the audience, which is surely what every parent wants at this time of year?"

All That Dazzles (UK)
December 14th, 2023

“With a pantomime, you know what you are going to get, and that’s the chance to shout and cheer as an audience member, some silliness, some dance numbers and some star names. Richmond Theatre ticks all these boxes, making it a lovely festive outing, it just seemed to lack a little bit of magic.”

“This is an excellent show with a joyous feel and sense of originality from Merton and Webster, even when they are delivering well proven material and it sits perfectly on the lovely Richmond stage. It awakens the soul, brings a smile to every face, and leaves you wanting more while staying true to the basic story.”
