Now in its ninth glorious year The RVT presents its 2015 Panto: Charming Dick!
It’s back! Oh no it isn’t. Oh yes it is! No, really, it is. The infamous RVT panto’s present another tongue in cheek take on the traditional panto for all you dirty girls and boys out there. Full of panto classics, large gowns and sing a longs. Sounds great right?
“A must see panto this consumer crazy season” QX
This year the RVT presents Charming Dick with a wicked witch from the West End, Dame Twanky (once famous cabaret star), a Eurovision wannabe, a charming prince and, of course, a little Dick. The little Dick is freshly arrived in London, looking for fame, fortune and a good time (London is the place for all of that!).
But is Twanky safe from the wicked witch’s ruthless desire to obtain the lamp and close Twankys launderette, will Twanky sing about it (we think that’s a certainty)? Will Babe be picked for Eurovision? And why can’t Charming just commit to Babe? How will little Dick ever become a big Dick and find fame, fortune and love or build that snowman with Prince Charming? And why is Red Riding Hood in this panto?
Another rip-roaring panto from the RVT filled with panto classics, hissing, booing and enough songs and dance to make Eurovision look positively dull, all bought up to date for all you big dirty kids aged 18 and over. Featuring some of our favourite drag queens and also starring Martin Fitch the 2010 Poland entry for Eurovision (we kid you not, who can forget the classic Lengenda…).
