Poppy
Louise Gold
starred as Dick Whitttington, at Half Moon Theatre, from 28 December 1988 to 28

Cast (Includes)
Louise Gold – as Dick Whittington
As this run
was “Back by popular demand” it seems
likely that many of the rest of the cast would have been in an earlier production
of the show at the Half Moon Theatre.
