Church's cast of 60 helping Dick seek his fortune

WEST Hallam Methodist Church presents its 14th pantomime this weekend – Dick Whittington.

The production sees Dick trying to clear his name after being accused of theft then, with the help of his faithful cat, making his fortune.

The pair travel to Zanzibar on the Jolly Roger, accompanied by a rabble of sailors, an unexpected touch of glamour, a pack of Mexican rats and unbeknown to them all, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and a three humped camel.

The pantomime was written and first performed 10 years ago at a time when the Harry Potter books were at their height," explained director Melanie Pierson.

The music of Queen features quite heavily in the show, along with dance routines, choreographed by the youngsters themselves.
