The Liverpool Empire is excited to reveal that the three principal cast members of this year�s Christmas pantomime, PETER PAN, sponsored by Robinsons, are now confirmed!

American TV and Movie star HENRY WINKLER will play Captain Hook.
Henry said: �I am so excited to be returning to the UK to appear in Peter Pan. I hear that the Liverpool Empire is one of the most beautiful theatres in the country and it will be a pleasure to perform there. I really look forward to meeting the people of Liverpool....so hook your tickets now to board the Jolly Roger.�

Liverpudlian singer and Atomic Kitten star NATASHA HAMILTON is to play Peter Pan, with fellow scouser LES DENNIS playing a pantomime dame in the form of the Darling family�s cook and later, Hook�s cook! This is a welcome return to the Empire stage for actor, presenter and comedian Les, whose performance as Buttons in last year�s panto Cinderella received rave reviews.

Natasha, whose Peter Pan role will be her first in panto, said: �I am so honoured to be asked to appear as Peter Pan at my local theatre, the Liverpool Empire. The children can�t wait to come and see their Mummy flying! It�s going to be a great experience.�

Les said: �I can�t tell you how thrilled I am to be coming back to the Liverpool Empire for the second year running. I had the best time last year, to be at home for Christmas is fantastic and the Liverpool audiences are just great! This time you get to see me in a frock as well � that is not to be missed, I can�t wait to get started!�

Peter Pan is produced by First Family Entertainment, the same producers responsible for last year�s Christmas show at the Empire, Cinderella, which was widely acknowledged as Britain�s number one panto. This year�s show promises to delight audiences in the same glittering, spectacular style, with lavish staging and costumes and a fantastic cast and script.
