Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning, and then a quick turn into the Elgin Theatre is where Ross Petty Productions' PETER PAN in WONDERLAND, The 20th Anniversary Family Musical PANto-monium will call home from November 27, 2015 to January 3, 2016.
For twenty years, Ross Petty has proven that he'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! But now after two decades of producing and performing in Ontario's favourite family holiday musicals, Ross Petty will take his final BOOOOO from the stage in the role of the absolutely evil, but incredibly dashing Captain Hook.
Joining Petty for his final hurrah on stage will be Panto veterans, Eddie Glen as the adorably devilish Smee; Dan Chameroy in his beloved role of the love-hungry Plumbum; and Jessica Holmes will be breaking hearts all over the city as the Queen of Hearts . . . wait, what? More about that later!
He can fly! He can fly!! Anthony MacPherson (The Wizard of Oz, Mirvish; Anne of Green Gables, Charlottetown Festival) will join the cast as the young hero in green tights; his darling Wendy will be played by songstress Steffi DiDomenicantonio (Canadian Idol Finalist; Spring Awakening, First US National Tour).
And what trip to Neverland is complete without a quick detour down the rabbit hole to neighbouring country Wonderland? Three stars from the hit TV show, The Next Step on Family Channel, will also join the cast as some of the most memorable characters from the land of Wonder: Jordan Clark (So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Winner 2011) will play the wondrous Alice; the fantastically convivial Lamar Johnson (Full Out, Family Channel) will take on the role of the Mad Hatter; and turning things on their heads will be Taveeta Szymanowicz (Make It Pop, Nickelodeon) as the Cheshire Cat.
Director Tracey Flye has been helming the Panto since 2009, and award-winning playwright Chris Earl (Peter Pan 2007, Cinderella 2008) returns to pen a brand new fractured fairytale of the mischievous boy Peter Pan and his wicked nemesis Hook, for Ross Petty Productions' 20th Anniversary.
Tickets are on sale now for PETER PAN in WONDERLAND, The 20th Anniversary Family Musical PANto-monium, running at the Elgin Theatre from November 27, 2015 - January 3, 2016.
