St Helens
THE PANTOMIME ADVENTURES OF PETER PAN
The Chase's superstar quizzer Mark ‘the Beast' Labbett is set to take on the role of Pan's dastardly hook-handed nemesis in the unmissable new production. He will be joined on stage by Strictly star Flavia Cacace as Tinkerbell, alongside Connor Darren James, Lauren McCrory and St Helens pantomime favourites Lewis Devine and Richard Aucott.
Family audiences can expect plenty of unforgettable magical moments as the thrilling, high-flying adventure unfolds on the Theatre Royal stage, putting the ‘Pan' firmly into panto.
Mark Labbett will play Captain Hook. Known to millions as ‘The Beast', Mark is best known as one of the Chasers on ITV1's smash-hit quiz show The Chase. He joined the programme in 2009 and later became the sole Chaser on the American version in 2013, before joining the Australian version in 2016 as one of its Chasers.
Mark first appeared on our screens as a contestant on Mastermind in 1999. Since then, he has appeared on BrainTeaser, Countdown, SUDO-Q, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Only Connect, The National Lottery People's Quiz, Are You an Egghead? and University Challenge. More recently, he has starred in The Chasers' Road Trip and The Chase Around the World.
Flavia Cacace brings sparkle to St Helens as Tinkerbell. Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia moved to Britain from her native Italy when she was five and started dancing at a young age. In 1995 she was partnered with Vincent Simone, the start of a successful 25-year dance partnership which saw the pair win a host of UK and international dance competitions. She spent eight years as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing. Her panto credits include Snow White at the London Palladium and Jack and the Beanstalk at the Worthing Pavilion.
