Following a hugely successful nationwide tour of The Wizard Of Oz in 2014, Trio Entertainment will be bringing their swashbuckling version of classic J.M. Barrie fairytale PETER PAN to Blackpool’s North Pier Theatre this Easter (3rd-11th April). The world renowned tale has been re-imagined into a wonderful fun-filled family pantomime.
Trio Entertainment are thrilled to announce that Kurtis Stacey, best known as Emmerdale’s Alex Moss, will star as Peter Pan and will be joined by X Factor’s Chris Maloney as Captain Hook and Britain’s Got Talent finalist Steven Hall as Pirate Winkle.
Peter Pan tells the story of Peter, the boy who never grew up, who lives in a far away land just past the second star to the right, called Neverland. When Wendy is told that she must leave the nursery and start acting like a grown-up, Peter swoops in; and along with her brothers Michael and John, Wendy is whisked off on an action-packed adventure full of Pirates, Mermaids, Lost Boys and Native American Indians. On their travels the companions encounter Peter’s long time foe Captain Hook and battle commences!
Join Peter and Wendy on their fantastic adventure full of laughs and songs. With brilliant sets, amazing costumes and comedy routines children, young and old, will believe that anything is possible. You will feel as though you never grew up whilst watching your little ones have the time of their lives this Easter.
Producer Kevin Brown said: “I’m so excited for 2012’s X Factor finalist Chris Maloney to join Kurtis and Steven in the cast of Peter Pan. Chris has performed all over the world and I can’t wait for him to bring Captain Hook to life on stage. He will be the best singing Pirate in all of Pantoland. Chris is also a brilliant actor and he’ll be a very convincing villain to boo and hiss as he tries to take over Neverland.”
Kurtis Stacey is best known as heartbreaker Alex Moss in ITV’s award winning soap Emmerdale. A regular on television screens, he has appeared in smash hit series Waterloo Road and Hollyoaks. Kurtis graduated from Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Having recently played Jack in St Helens Theatre Royal’s Christmas production Jack and the Beanstalk, Kurtis adds Peter Pan to an already impressive résumé of theatrical performances.
The star line-up is completed by Britain’s Got Talent star Steven Hall who made it to the final of the show in 2011. Steven said “All I wanted to do was go on stage and entertain the crowd when I auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent, it didn’t occur to me that I would ever get through.” Steven’s routine wowed judges Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff and even received a standing ovation from the audience.
Tony Jo of HRH Entertainments who are back at North Pier Theatre after a five year absence said, “Peter Pan is the first of many fabulous shows to appear at North Pier in 2015. Trio are a proven winner at the venue and I am looking forward to packed houses at Easter for this swashbuckling pantomime.”
The much loved story of Peter Pan will be at the North Pier Theatre in Blackpool from Friday 3rd until Saturday 11th April at 2.00pm with some evening performances at 7.00pm. Book your ticket to Neverland today!
