- Performance days: £137 including holiday pay

Roles

Roles Details

Title

Dick Whittington

Content

Dick is wonderfully energetic, comedic and a little dopey, with good intentions and a genuine desire to help his friend Tommy. The performer will need to be confident interacting with both the audience and the other characters with ease.
Dick complements the other characters while steadily keeping the energy of the show alive, so we are looking for someone with a naturally fun, warm and engaging personality to fulfil the role.
Note: We are looking for drivers, with one driver required per team, so being able to drive is a plus but not a necessity. We hire cars for the tour, although we can also pay to use your own vehicle if preferred.
£137 per performance day, including holiday pay. All performers will be paid before Christmas.
Those staying at home will need to be London based. When staying away, you will have your own room in either a Premier Inn or Travelodge, plus £10 per day towards food.
