Meet the Stars of the Floral Panto
The Floral Pavilion is renowned for delivering top-notch pantomimes brimming with comedy and chaos.
But it’s not just the sparkling sets, sassy scripts and lavish costumes that encourage people to return year after year - talented performers, cast in their perfect roles and with a shared on-stage chemistry, are vital ingredients to make a winning show for the whole family to enjoy.
So, with an exceptional hand-picked cast, audiences for this year’s panto The Further Adventures of Peter Pan – The Return of Captain Hook are in for a treat!
Tom Lister as Captain Hook
The first time Tom Lister donned the tights and wig of Captain Hook, he won Best Villain at the Great British Pantomime Awards! Emmerdale star and West End legend (42nd Street, Theatre Royal Drury Lane), Tom is thrilled to be back in Neverland for another Christmas of mayhem and Panto magic.
When it comes to playing Captain Hook, nobody does it better than Tom. His Piratical performance is sure to make you hiss!
Holly Atterton as Tinker Bell
Flying in from (Old) Brighton to New Brighton is Nickelodeon’s Holly Atterton as the irrepressible Tinker Bell. She’s a force to be reckoned with but has a heart of gold. Previously starring in The Rocky Horror Show and We Will Rock You, younger members of the audience might also recognise Holly from Nick Jnr’s Go! Go! Go!
Sean Jones as Smee
Audience favourite Sean Jones returns to the Floral by popular demand for the fifth year in a row - he really is that good!
Starring as Smee, he’s guaranteed to fill the theatre with laughter and mayhem once again. Sean is returning to New Brighton following another successful tour as Mickey in the multi award-winning Blood Brothers.
Danny Colligan is Peter Pan
With a sparky personality and incredible singing voice, Danny Colligan is the perfect fresh-faced Peter Pan. Danny has starred in Les Miserables, Dirty Dancing and The Book of Mormon on the West End and has also made it to the live finals of BBC1's Let it Shine. You can view his show reel performing alongside Take That, Danni Minogue and Melanie C on YouTube. Danny has recently starred in the highly acclaimed Cable Street at the Southwark Playhouse.
Victoria Hay as Mrs Darling and the Mermaid
The theatre is also delighted to welcome Ruth Betteridge, starring as Emily Darling, and Victoria Hay (Calendar Girls the Musical, Betty Blue Eyes) who will play both Mrs Darling and the Mermaid.
Supporting the principal cast members will be ensemble dancers from the Hoylake School of Dance, who will be dancing their socks (or dance shoes) off again this year. The young dancers are busy rehearsing for the show right now but look out for special focus on their vital contribution, which is coming shortly.
