Manchester’s pantomime will be paved with gold as comedy sensation Jason Manford and panto favourite Ben Nickless return to the Opera House to star in Dick Whittington in partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester and supported locally by Swizzels.

Follow our hero (and his trusty cat) on a quest for fame, fortune and happiness, as he sets his sights on becoming the city’s Lord Mayor.

Joining the much-loved panto duo are acclaimed musical theatre stars Adam Strong as the villainous King Rat, Landi Oshinowo as The Spirit of Bow Bells, and Sarah Vaughan as Alice Fitzwarren, all making a welcome return to the Opera House panto.

Sparkling with Manchester’s favourite pantomime traditions, this action-packed show promises laugh-out-loud comedy, plenty of boos and hisses, and lavish sets and costumes from The London Palladium.

Book your tickets now for the ultimate rags-to-riches pantomime adventure.

_PLEASE NOTE: Dick Whittington replaces the previously announced Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs._
