Entertainment at its most magical

Oh, yes it is!

The Assembly Hall Theatre will be flying to Neverland with its magical stage version of JM Barrie's classic children's story this Christmas.

Brought to you by the same team behind Jack and Beanstalk, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs and Aladdin, Peter Pan will take you high above the clouds on a magical journey.

There’s spectacular flying and computer generated imagery, plus amazing acrobatics. From an all star dancing and singing cast, this is a Christmas show with a vast amount of sparkle. Pinch yourself as you watch Peter Pan fly high above the stage and join Wendy, Michael and John as they take off to Neverland with the boy who never grows up.

Watch in wonder as Peter, Wendy, John, Michael and Tinker Bell, who along with the Lost Boys, do battle with the sinister Captain Hook and his pirate crew. Along the journey you’ll befriend Tiger Lily and her tribe and re-awaken your belief in fairies.

A familiar face on TV, Mark Moraghan heads the cast as the evil Captain Hook. Known to millions for his portrayal of Owen Davis in the BBC One medical drama television series Holby City and more recently as the narrator of much loved children's TV show Thomas The Tank Engine, he has also appeared in such series as Brookside, Heartbeat, Peak Practice and Celebrity Master Chef.

Joining Mark in Neverland will be Gemma Hunt (Popular CBeebies show, Swashbuckle presenter) as Tinker Bell. No stranger to TV, she co-presented Best of Friends, Barney’s Barrier Reef, Bamzooki, Barney’s Latin America and All Over the Place. She has also regularly hosted CBBC’s live coverage at Wimbledon, and last but no means least, appeared in Chucklevision and the Cbeebies pantomime.

Peter Pan is played by Jessica Punch and Smee is played by Mark James. The Pirate crew are played by comedy acrobat troupe The Nitwits whose death defying antics will have audiences both gasping with amazement and crying with laughter at the same time.

Martin Dodd, producer of UK Production, commented: ‘We are delighted to be back at the Assembly Hall Theatre with our biggest pantomime to date. Peter Pan is a story that everybody loves and we will turn it into an all flying, all singing, all dancing, all laughter amazing spectacle that will have you hooked from the very beginning.’

Theatre director of the Assembly Hall Theatre Brian McAteer added, ‘It’s a show that’s packed with comedy, dance, and all the traditional audience participation that children – and those who never want to grow up – have come to love and enjoy. As Peter Pan says, ‘You’ll never never know if you never never go.’

Book early to avoid disappointment…The ‘Croc’ is ticking!
