Danny Mac returns to the UK’s biggest regional panto at Birmingham Hippodrome

Birmingham Hippodrome and Crossroads Pantomimes have announced further casting for their swashbuckling panto adventure, Peter Pan, which runs at the Birmingham venue from 21 December 2024 – Sun 2 February 2025.

Star of stage and screen Danny Mac (Sunset Boulevard, Amelie) will return to Birmingham Hippodrome, this time to play Captain Hook after last appearing in the 2017/18 production of Cinderella as Prince Charming.

Danny joins Alison Hammond (Magical Mermaid), Matt Slack (Smee), Andrew Ryan (Mrs Smee) and Billie-Kay (Tink) who were announced earlier in the year.

Bringing more magic to Neverland will be Rhiannon Chesterman (Rock of Ages, UK tour) who joins the production as Wendy Darling and Noah Harrison (Pretty Woman, UK tour), who will play Peter Pan.

Artistic Director and Chief Executive Officer at Birmingham Hippodrome, Jon Gilchrist, said: “We’re so pleased to have Danny Mac making a welcome return to the Hippodrome in this year’s pantomime as Captain Hook. We are also excited to welcome two new faces to our pantomime family with Rhiannon and Noah, who I’m sure will feel right at home here at the Hippodrome during such a special time of year for us.”

With amazing special effects, stunning sets and beautiful costumes direct from The London Palladium, Peter Pan will take your whole family on a magical trip to Neverland like never before in a production packed with comedy and laughter for all the family.
