Crossroads Pantomimes festive family pantomime set in Hull's maritime heritage, with Brendan Cole as Captain Hook, Jennie Dale as the Magical Mermaid and Phil Walker as Smee.
The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan runs at Hull New Theatre from 31 October to 10 December 2026, produced by Crossroads Pantomimes. It's a seafaring family tale set against Hull's own maritime heritage, so the nautical theme fits the city well. The cast is led by Brendan Cole as Captain Hook, who'll be the one you love to boo. He's a Strictly Come Dancing professional and Dancing on Ice finalist, and this is his second time at the theatre — he previously played Baron Von Bolshoi in Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Joining him are CBeebies star Jennie Dale as the Magical Mermaid, who brings West End stage and screen credits to the role, and Phil Walker as Smee. Walker is a panto regular who's appeared in more than 23 festive productions, and he's paired with Hull favourite Jack Land Noble as Mrs Smee, who's back for his fifth year at the venue. Aaron Aisoni plays Peter Pan, Liv Wright takes Wendy, and Maria Zureiqi is Tink.
On stage, the production is built around swash-buckling sets, stunning costumes and special effects, with the usual panto mix of songs and laughs. A sign language interpreter is provided for the run. A couple of things to keep in mind before you book: some performances use flashing and strobe lighting effects and haze, so it's worth checking if that's a concern for your group.
