Dick Whittington and his cat, Tammy, journey to London to seek their fortune after hearing that the streets are paved with gold. When he finds they are not, he gets work in Alderman Fitzwarren’s store where he meets some odd characters and falls in love with the Alderman’s beautiful daughter, Alice. Tammy the cat becomes renowned for her rat-catching abilities, but the evil Queen Rat sets out to destroy Dick, and become the Lord Mayor of London…
Directed by Bev Nicholas, choreographed by Jo Hubbard, Dick Whittington (and his cat) features a large cast of veteran Tipling Stage Company actors and some new faces. Musical accompaniment, under the direction of Gerry McNalty, includes percussion, guitar, keyboards and saxophone this year. It’s going to be a fun, noisy extravaganza of comedy, song and dance in the welcoming, old-time atmosphere of Shelburne’s Grace Tipling Hall — a little warmth to look forward to during this cold, bleak winter!
Performances are January 24th and 25th, January 31st and February 1st at 7 p.m. and January 26th and February 2nd at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $12 on Friday nights and $15 on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons for adults and $8 for children under twelve. They can be purchased in Shelburne at Caravaggio IDA, Shelburne Town Hall, Holmes Appliance & Music Shop or online at www.tiplingstagecompany.com, where lots of additional information is available.
