Rachel Rawlinson who has performed in the smash hit musicals “Six the Musical” and “Heathers Musical” in the West End, graces the stage as Queen Kiessa of the Cat Kingdom, the regal protector of Harlow against the villain, Sir Rattington, King of the Rats, portrayed by Nathaniel Morrison from “Moulin Rouge” and “Choir of Man.”

The title role of Dick Whittington will be played by James Hilton-Foster, fresh from the UK tour of “Madagascar the Musical.” He will star opposite Grace Chapman, who has starred in the hit musicals “Wicked” and “Phantom of the Opera,” who takes on the role of Alice Fitzwarren.

Completing this incredible lineup, Dilara Greene who recently performed in the international tour of “Peter Pan,” will charm audiences as Tommy the Cat, Dick Whittington’s loyal sidekick.
