Further casting has been announced for the London Palladium pantomime Peter Pan, with Louis Gaunt (Mary Poppins, West End) returning to the world-famous venue this year to play Peter Pan and Frances Mayli McCann (Bonnie & Clyde, West End) joining the cast as Wendy.

They join the previously announced Jennifer Saunders, Julian Clary, Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers, Gary Wilmot and Rob Madge. Performances begin on 9 December for a strictly limited five-week run, directed by Michael Harrison.

On the casting, Michael Harrison said: “I’m so thrilled Louis is joining our cast for Peter Pan this Christmas… following Jack and the Beanstalk last year, he is a firm favourite of both the audience and the regular Palladium company. Louis is a proper leading man who is also brilliant in the Palladium production of The Wizard of Oz. And following her starring performance in Bonnie & Clyde, we all can’t wait to welcome Frances for her Palladium panto debut.”

Harrison’s production has set design by Mark Walters, costumes by Hugh Durrant created especially for The London Palladium, choreography by Karen Bruce, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Gareth Owen, and composition and orchestrations by Gary Hind.
