Dick Whittington
and His Catford Cat
Catford Broadway 2025
Joy Productions and Broadway Theatre Catford present their purr-fectly delightful 2025 pantomime Dick Whittington and his Catford Cat
Fur-get everything you thought you knew about Dick Whittington! Our tail begins with our hero and his feline friend setting sail on the Empire Windrush, whisk(er)ing away to seek their fortune on London's streets of gold. But when they arrive in Catford, they discover the neighbourhood has a serious Cat-astrophe – Queen Rat and her rodent army are causing mayhem!
Join Dick and his Catford Cat as they pounce into adventure, encounter an eccentric fairy with questionable magic skills, fall head over paws in love, and reunite with Dick's larger-than-life Mum (who's got claws of her own!).
This Christmas, treat your family to a panto that's the cat's pajamas – packed with hysterical comedy, claw-some dance numbers, villains so dastardly you'll be feline the need to boo, and enough Christmas spirit to make even the coolest cats purr with delight!
Remember: In Catford, every cat has its day... and every pantomime has its MEOW-ment!
