Yesterday, stars of Birmingham Hippodrome’s high-flying pantomime adventure, Peter Pan arrived at the theatre for a first glimpse at the festive family spectacular coming this December. Jimmy Osmond, Meera Syal, Matt Slack and Jaymi Hensley posed in full costume ahead of the swashbuckling production sailing into Birmingham from Wednesday 19 December.
It was a truly magical day as we welcomed the cast and producer Michael Harrison to the theatre and held a Q&A at our Friends and Patrons reception. Afterwards they had a chance to meet the cast, have Peter Pan posters signed and pose for photos.
Jimmy has appeared on several UK television shows including I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, All Star Family Fortunes, Celebrity Come Dine with Me, Popstar to Operastar and was a finalist in last year’s Celebrity Masterchef. In addition to television work Jimmy has starred in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, tours of Chicago (including at the Hippodrome), Boogie Nights and Jimmy Osmond’s American Jukebox Show and various pantomimes across the UK. Jimmy will star as Neverland’s nastiest resident, the crocodile-fearing, Peter Pan-despising, left-hand-lacking Captain Hook.
Running from Wed 19 Dec – Sun 27 Jan, book tickets for Peter Pan on our website here.
