Darlington Hippodrome has announced

Previously announced panto legend Christopher Biggins, who is returning to Darlington where his panto dame career began over 45 years ago, will be joined by comedian Rikki Jay, North-East panto favourite Steve Arnott, Darlington returner Peter Peverley, West End performers James Hameed and Tegan Bannister and newcomer Sheri Lineham.
Comedian Rikki Jay joins the line up as Smee.
With a television career launched from ITV’s The Big Big Talent Show,
Rikki went on to appear on comedy programmes across UK television including The
Big Stage, Jay Walking and Gagging For It and is a regular on
Sky TV. Rikki has been a mainstay of pantomime for several years starring
alongside the biggest names in UK theatre and television. Rikki also regularly
entertains global audiences on board the QE2 and world cruises, in cabaret
venues across the United States, and has entertained British troops across the
Middle East and the Falkland Islands.
Whitley Bay born, Steve Arnott started his
professional career as a voice-over artiste for radio and television and
appeared on national television as the original Dairy Crest milkman. He toured
extensively with the Pasadena Roof Orchestra as the production
manager. Steve has done many a panto in the North-East and returns to
Darlington for a fourth time for The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan.
Peter
Peverley trained at Newcastle College and spent three years with the RSC
long ensemble performing in Stratford London and New York. He spent 15 years

Theatre appearing in many productions including Animal Farm, A
Clockwork Orange, and 1984, touring nationally and

The Pantomime Adventures of
Peter Pan will be a fun-filled Christmas extravaganza with a fabulous cast and
