Darren Day plays Captain Hook and his wife Stephanie Dooley is Pirate Starkey in Peter Pan which opens at the Lighthouse Theatre, Kettering, Northamptonshire this week.
The panto is breaking box-office records for the Lighthouse which will celebrate its biggest production.
Says Day, who has plenty of experience of pantos and musicals, “This show has something for everyone.”
The show also features children’s entertainer Rollo as Smee. Providing the magic will be Alex Lodge, who has appeared on CBBC’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and ITV's Britain's Got Talent. He will play Pirate Trix.
Illusions, flying and an underwater ultra-violet spectacular will be some of the ingredients of the Hammond Family panto which runs at the Lighthouse from Saturday (8 December) until Sunday 30 December.
