This isn't a retelling of the original story, but a new adventure for Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and Smee. It's a swashbuckling one, and the production is built around the big pantomime moments: flying scenes, choreography, songs, special effects and the usual stage combat. It's aimed at families and suitable for all ages, with a recommendation from age three up.
Two of the main roles are already cast. Tom Lister takes on Captain Hook, and he comes to the part with a background in musical theatre and TV, including Emmerdale, 42nd Street, Calamity Jane and Legally Blonde. Jimmy Bryant returns as Smee, having played Buttons in the 2025 Little Red Riding Hood panto here in York. The rest of the cast will be announced later.
