Panto return
Kings spokesman John King said: “After Dick Whittington’s quest was cut short in December disappointing thousands of ticket-holders, the Kings Theatre is thrilled to announce that Dick can complete his journey by returning in the summer to finish what he started.
“With theatres on track to reopen as part of the government’s roadmap for recovery, Dick Whittington – The Pompey Panto will run from Friday, July 23 until Sunday, August 8 2021 in a first for the venue.
“Although The Kings has put on touring Easter pantomimes in the past, most recently starring Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee in 2014, this will be the first time they will have produced a summer panto.
