Blue Genie Entertainment, producers of the hugely popular pantomime at the Playhouse Whitley Bay, have announced Antony Costa from the sensational pop band Blue will headline this year’s Pantomime, Peter Pan. Antony is set to play the evil Captain Hook in this swashbuckling adventure.

Antony joins the hugely popular local funny guy and all round entertainer Steve Walls, who returns to the Playhouse for his ninth year in panto playing the part of Smee.

Producer Gary Telfer said: “We can’t wait to produce ‘Peter Pan’ this year; it is without a doubt the most spectacular pantomime of them all! It’s going to have the most amazing special effects ever. We will also have plenty of Pirates, Indians, and Mermaids too. This year is going to be our biggest and best year ever and we are thrilled to have signed such a high quality performer as Antony Costa. Blue are still hugely popular all over the UK and their last album sold over 2 million copies, Antony is extremely popular and he is also a fantastic performer; he has performed in many pantomimes up and down the country as well as performing in Blood Brothers in London’s West End.”

“Antony can be seen can be seen this summer touring with his band Blue who are performing with Steps all over the UK. The Playhouse pantomime attracts more and more people each year, in fact most of the shows sold out last year. We are keen to continue building the reputation that we have built in Whitley Bay, which has grown dramatically over the last 5 years. Last year we catered for almost 25,000 people.”

As the North East Theatre Guide said about last year’s panto “Cinderella is one panto that you can safely take your younger family members too.|  Steve Walls is acutely aware of how to handle the audience and get them involved. The fact that he appeared in the foyer at the end to meet the audience was a nice touch too.  A friendly, happy family show with a glittering ending. Isn’t that what panto should be about?”

This year’s production of Peter Pan will run for 63 action-packed performances from 1^st December 2018 – 5^th January 2019.
