Peter Pan has been to town for this year’s pantomime in York Theater Royal.
CBeebies favorite Maddie Moate and three Cinderella stars from last year appear in the family swashbuckling pantomime All New Adventures of Peter Pan through January 2.
This is the second co-production between York Theater Royal and Evolution Productions. The 2021 premiere, Cinderella, was nominated for Best Pantomime (500-900 seats) at the British Pantomime Awards while Paul Hawkyard and Robin Simpson, who played the Ugly Sisters, were nominated for Best Uglys at the same awards.
The pair return for this year’s pantomime – Paul as the villainous Captain Hook and Robin as Mrs. Smee.
