This is from the designs and notes for the second of two costumes worn by Elaine Paige as Queen Rat. The spectacular magenta, gold and purple version of Queen Rat's costume was worn for the Walkdown -the end of the pantomime when actors take their bow. During the rest of the pantomime she wore a black and purple 'working' version of it.\n\r\n<i>Dick Whittington</i> was a lavishly designed production, the second pantomime mounted in the West End by Qdos after <i>Cinderella</i>, December 2016, which brought pantomime back to the theatre with great success after a gap of thirty years. <i>Dick Whittington</i> was followed in December 2018 by <i>Snow White</i>, each featuring Hugh Durrant's witty and inventive costumes. \n\r\nHugh Durrant is an award-winning London-based theatre designer whose costumes for Julian Clary and Elaine Paige in <i>Dick Whittington </i>were nominated for best costume designs of 2017 in the Olivier Awards, April 2018. All other costumes in the production were designed by Ron Briggs, with sets by Ian Westbrook.\r\n","physicalDescription":"<b>S.145:1-2019</b>\r\nOne of 8 sheets of designs and notes by Hugh Durrant, with fabric swatches, for Elaine Paige as Queen Rat in <i>Dick Whittington,</i> London Palladium, 14 December 2017.
