Peter Pan

Are pantomimes in theatres just not BIG enough for you? Well why not try this arena-sized production of 'Peter Pan', which revels in the self-bestowed title of World's Biggest Panto? The loss of intimacy will hopefully be compensated for by some more-impressive-than-usual special effects, and certainly JM Barrie's tale of magical adventure is arguably more suited to an epic treatment than it is an old school panto one. Or it could be horrible, but what the hey: you're not going to get Bradley Walsh as Mr Smee, Martin Kemp as Captain Hook, BMX riders, stuntmen, trapeze artists a seven-metre-long animatronic crocodile, a 10,000-gallon water wall and a 60 feet-wide LED screen down the Hackney Empire, are you?
