The London Palladium’s annual pantomime returns this year with a new take on Peter Pan.

With performances set to begin at the London Palladium on the 9th December, initial casting has been confirmed for Peter Pan, which will have a strictly limited five week run.

This eighth annual pantomime will see Jennifer Saunders and Julian Clary leading the cast in the brand new production and they will be joined by Palladium panto favourites Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers, Gary Wilmot and Rob Madge.

The pantomime will once again be directed by Michael Harrison, with set designs by Mark Walters and costume designs by Hugh Durrant created especially for The London Palladium, choreography by Karen Bruce, lighting designs by Ben Cracknell, sound designs by Gareth Owen and composition and orchestrations by Gary Hind.

Jennifer Saunders, who will be making her Palladium Panto debut in Peter Pan playing Captain Hook, said: “I could not be more delighted to be doing my first panto ever at the Palladium. I am a huge fan of panto and The Palladium always delivers. I wouldn’t want to be in Peter Pan’s tiny soft shoes let me tell you, because I am going to give Hook my all!’ 

Tickets for Peter Pan are on sale now.
