Songs from The Adventures of Dick Whittington

Picture
"The Adventures of Dick Whittington" is a retelling in Script and Songs by Betsy Lee Bailey of the famous Old English Pantomime from Renaissance England (1605).  

Pantomime was a popular entertainment in this time period.  Certain Stock players were expected:  The Narrator, the "Everyman," the Villain, the "Do Good" characters, the Comic Duo, the Fair Maiden, the Dame and at least one Funny Animal.  

​This Musical is loosely based on the story of a real person Richard Whittington who was thrice elected Lord Mayor of London in 1397, 1406, and 1419.  He may or may not have ever owned a cat.
