Peter Pan cast make pre-panto visit to Empire

The cast of Peter Pan came to visit the Sunderland Empire this week in advance of the pantomime’s opening in December.

John Challis, most famous for his role as Boycie in the BBC’s Only
Fools and Horses, plays baddie Captain Hook, pictured, with Sunderland
born James Baxter (Emmerdale’s Jake Doland) taking on the lead role of
Peter Pan.

Back by public demand, top North East comic Steve Walls stars as the
side splitting Smee, alongside panto dame veteran and Darlington’s very
own Steve Luck as The Dame.

Peter Pan is at the Sunderland Empire from 12
December 2009 to 3 January 2010. For tickets, phone 0844 847 2499 or
