Cast of Theatre Severn panto unveiled as 25,000 tickets already sold

The cast of Theatre Severn’s forthcoming pantomime THE PANTOMIME ADVENTURES OF PETER PAN! were unveiled this week, as the venue prepare to bring the county some much needed pantomime cheer following the postponement of the production in 2020.

The theatre revealed that over 25,000 tickets for Peter Pan have been snapped up already, almost three months before the show opens on Wednesday 1 December.

The pantomime is written by Telford-born Paul Hendy and produced by Evolution, the hugely successful creative team behind pantomimes at Theatre Severn since 2011. Brad Fitt, recognised as one of the funniest Dames in the country, returns to direct the show and star in his 10^th season at Theatre Severn in the role of Mrs Smee.

Brad will reunite with Shropshire legend Eric Smith, who will be playing Eric The Pirate in what we will be his 18^th Shrewsbury pantomime. Theatre Severn also revealed that Victoria McCabe who has previously starred in Mother Goose (2018) and Aladdin (2019), returns in the role of Elizabeth Darling. Harry Winchester Phil Stewart will play the roles of Peter Pan and Captain Hook, whilst Katy Dean and Millie Davies make their debuts at the venue in the roles of Mrs Darling and Tinkerbell.
