Jermaine said: "It was great to be a part of the preview night with such a talented cast, from Will Haswell who plays Dick Whittington, to the fabulous ensemble team—Morgan Bazley, Ethan Brenchley, Jemma Dawes—and not forgetting Alfie Simmons, who brings the whole show together. It was just fantastic.

"The show was enjoyed by all; you could feel the buzz in the theatre."
