EVERYMAN

With his guitar slung over his shoulder and his Kool Cat by his side, Dick Whittington sets off to seek his fame and fortune on the golden streets of London. But unbeknown to him, a dark and evil force is already at work and is heading straight towards him - Maximus Raticus is out of the sewers and has unleashed a terrifying army of rats to take over the capital… the world… the universe!  Only one man stands in his way – Dick Whittington.  So travel the miles, dance in the aisles, rock till you drop and have a night on the tiles!

10/10
"Truly awful gags, close-to-the-knuckle smut, "he's behind you" set pieces and good triumphing over evil. What more could you ask for at Christmas?"

"It's the sort of party atmosphere soon picked up by an audience who by the end are on their feet - young and old - and joining in the musical mayhem"
