STAR CASTING JUST ANNOUNCED – FIND OUT MORE BELOW

Soar through the skies to the enchanted island in this BRAND NEW high-flying, Pantomime adventure!

Starring Liberty X’s & TV personality Michelle Heaton as Tinker Bell, Coronation Street’s Pat Phelan aka Connor McIntyre as Captain Hook, Tracey Beaker Returns & The Dumping Grounds Jessie Williams as Angela Darling and Waterloo Road’s & Hollyoaks Ben-Ryan Davies as Peter Pan.

Not forgetting the #Cracking Liam Mellor as Smee and resident dame Robert Squire as Mrs Hook who are all set to cause more mayhem on stage together… Well it wouldn’t be a Forum Theatre Panto without them!

With a sprinkle of fairy dust, The Forum Theatre pantomime is back as the enchanted island bursts into life again in this spectacular new production that’s fun for the whole family.

The enchanted island is in chaos as the dastardly Captain Hook has returned from his watery grave and is looking for revenge… With Peter Pan in danger, Tinker Bell heads to London to get help. When she gets there, she realises that many years have passed, and she must now convince Wendy’s granddaughter to travel back to the Island and help Peter defeat Hook.

Will they make it back in time? Will Peter Pan conquer Hook once and for all? And… what’s that ticking sound? Make sure you join us this Christmas to find out!

The Further Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan – the return of Captain Hook, promises to be an awe-inspiring spectacle with the perfect blend of breath-taking sets & costumes, mind-blowing flying, special effects and of course, side-splitting comedy that is brought to you once again by the team behind previous year’s panto favourites including Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Jack and the Beanstalk & Cinderella.

Meet this year’s star cast and your returning panto favourites!

Michelle Heaton

Michelle is an English singer, stage actress and television personality. She is best known as a leading member of the pop group Liberty X.

Liberty X released three studio albums and enjoyed a series of top 20 hits with their biggest hit, “Just a Little”, reaching number one and achieving success worldwide. They eventually split up after selling over 3 million records.

Michelle appeared in the sixth series of Celebrity Big Brother and reunited with Liberty X for ITV2’s reality show The Big Reunion, along with other pop groups of their time – B*Witched, Honeyz, 911, Five and Atomic Kitten. Michelle also competed in the fifteenth series of Dancing on Ice, paired with Łukasz Różycki, and later on that year, Channel 4 announced her as one of the contestants competing on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Until Michelle puts on her fairy wings this Christmas you can still see her touring up and down the country with Liberty X.

Connor McIntyre

Returning after playing Flesh creep in Jack & the Beanstalk is Coronation Street’s Connor McIntyre to take on the role of the dastardly CAPTAIN HOOK.

Connor is notorious for playing the Corrie villain Pat Phelan between 2013 and 2018 and he won villain of the year twice during that time. He's sure to make a cruel Captain Hook!

Ben-Ryan Davies

Making his Forum Theatre return by popular demand Ben-Ryan Davies will be playing PETER PAN. Ben played Peter Pan at the Forum Theatre in 2018 and is reprising the role as he really is the boy who never grows up! Ben has been a fan favourite in Billingham since his first panto appearance in 2017.

Ben has starred in Hollyoaks & Waterloo Road and has also starred in The Adult Panto here in Billingham.

Jessie Williams

Jessie who is making her panto debut will be playing Wendy’s Granddaughter ANGELA DARLING.

Jessie is a popular character from CBBC's Tracey Beaker Returns and The Dumping Ground so will be a firm favourite with the children! She has also featured in Casualty and Call the Midwife.

Liam Mellor

We are delighted to have the #Cracking Liam Mellor back as SMEE. Liam has been a firm local favourite in Billingham since he joined the cast in 2019 playing Muddles in Snow White. Liam also writes and directs our annual festive pantomime and always looks forward to seeing our amazing audiences every Christmas.
