'Biggest Panto Ever' at Theatre
Royal
Wednesday
26th June, 2013
A new interview with
Su, by the Nottingham
Post, from yesterday's
panto launch.
It's been called the greatest
panto line-up the city has ever
seen – and two of the main
stars of Peter Pan were at the
Theatre Royal to launch this
year's glittering production.
Nottingham legend Su Pollard
turned up in full Magical Mermaid
regalia with her trademark
glasses alongside Blue Peter
presenter Barney Harwood as the
boy who never grew up.
Meanwhile Baywatch and Knight
Rider megastar David Hasselhoff,
who's set to play the villainous
Captain Hook, sent a message for
fans from his home in Los
Angeles.
After last year's record-breaking
success with Cinderella, which
was seen by some 60,000 people,
the theatre is expecting an even
bigger box office smash in 2013
– with 20,000 tickets
already booked.

Barney Harwood
Theatre Royal Nottingham:
Saturday 7th December - Sunday
12th January
The Theatre Royal Nottingham has
announced a star-studded cast for
the region's biggest pantomime,
Peter Pan, which runs from
Saturday 7 December 2013 to
Sunday 12 January 2014.
Leading the cast is international
star David Hasselhoff, aka The
Hoff, who is best known for his
iconic roles as Michael Knight in
Knight Rider and Mitch Buchanan
in Baywatch. David, who stars as
pantomime's ultimate baddie
Captain Hook, says he's thrilled
to be heading to Nottingham.
Adding a touch of sparkle to the
pantomime in the role of the
Magical Mermaid is television and
stage favourite Su Pollard - best
known for playing the loveable
Peggy in the 80s sitcom Hi-de-Hi!
As an actress, singer, writer and
comedienne Nottingham-born Su has
enjoyed a career spanning 40
years. Her other notable career
highlights have seen her appear
in You Rang, M'lord?, Oh, Doctor
Beeching! as well as
hugely-successful stage
productions of Annie, Little Shop
of Horrors and Sweet Charity.
Joining David and Su on stage in
the title role of Peter Pan is
children's television star Barney
Harwood. Barney started his
career at the age of 17 in the
boy band Goal and made the move
into presenting two years later
on the popular music show Planet
Pop. He joined CBBC as a
presenter and in 2007 won the
Children's BAFTA for Best TV
Presenter.
Peter Pan is produced by Qdos
Entertainment, the world's
largest pantomime producer, and
has the Theatre Royal's hallmark
of outstanding value-for-money
and entertainment for all ages.
