The New Adventures of Peter Pan 
Playhouse Whitley Bay
Friday 6 December 2024 to Saturday January 4 2025

Blue Genie Entertainment are thrilled to be back for a fifteenth season at The Playhouse Whitley Bay with its spectacular, brand new 2024 pantomime, The New Adventures of Peter Pan. West End star and panto legend Darren Day takes the lead role as the nefarious Captain Hook, joining local lad, and fan favourite, Steve Walls as the hapless Smee (this year!).

Darren’s extensive career includes a long list of theatre credits: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Godspell, Summer Holiday, Grease, The Rocky Horror Show, Everybody’s talking about Jamie (UK Tour) and more recently he reprised his role of Billy Flynn in the current UK Tour of Chicago for a special 1- week run.

2024 marks Steve’s fourteenth year at the Playhouse and his 28th pantomime in total as a principal comic. As an accomplished actor, compere, comedian and voice over artist, Steve’s work sees him travel all over the UK and beyond, so he relishes the opportunity to spend a Christmas back home and with his family too as wife Jo is Company Manager and Choreographer and daughter Charlotte plays Angela Darling. A role shared with India Rutherford and Marta Cooper – Jarzynka.

Also performing this festive season is the fabulous Daniel Mawston as Patsy the Mermaid, dashing Harry Downes as Peter Pan, the hilarious Luke Martin as Starkey, dance sensation Mary J Proud as Tinkerbell, and rising star Sophie McKinnon as Jessica Darling.

With dazzling sets, stunning costumes, and a host of brand-new characters (as well as the familiar favourites), The New Adventures of Peter Pan is the perfect family show for all ages.
