Dicky Dodd to guest star in Wolverhampton Grand Theatre's pantomime Dick Whittington
Signal 107 breakfast host Dicky Dodd will guest star in the Grand Theatre's pantomime Dick Whittington for a week in January.
Dicky Dodd will make his pantomime debut as the Sultan of Morocco between Tuesday, January 7, and Sunday, January 12.
He will appear alongside Su Pollard, Ryan Thomas, Jeffrey Holland, Ian Adams and Aaron James in the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre's 125th anniversary show.
Dicky said: "I am so excited. This year is the theatre’s 125th anniversary so the pantomime extra special and to be a part of that for a week is a huge honour.
"I have been to the theatre many times before and I have worked on the stage, which has been amazing, but now I get to do panto alongside some of the greatest professionals in the industry.
"I hope you can all come along and support."
Dick Whittington is off to London to seek his fortune and find the streets that are paved with gold. Guided by the magical Fairy Bow Bells on an adventure that takes him to the High Seas headed for Morocco, can he outwit the evil Queen Rat, free London from her team of revolting rodents and win the beautiful Alice's hand in marriage?

They are joined by Su's Hi-De-Hi! co-star Walsall-born as Alderman Fitzwarren, the Grand’s returning pantomime Dame, Ian Adams who plays Sarah the Cook, theatre star Julie Paton as the Spirit of the Bells, comedy impressionist Aaron James as Idle Jack, Katie Marie-Carter as Alice Fitzwarren and Jordan Ginger as Dick’s trusty feline sidekick.
