Ryan Thomas to star as Captain Hook in PETER PAN at Bradford Alhambra

Bradford Theatres have hooked additional star casting for this year’s pantomime with TV favourite Ryan Thomas (Coronation Street, ITV) named as the notorious Captain Hook in The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan at the  Alhambra Theatre.

Ryan’s casting marks his return to pantomime for the first time since 2019, joining the previously announced Billy Pearce as Smee and Myra DuBois as Magical MerMyra. 

On his casting, Ryan Thomas said: “I’m so excited to be stepping back into panto for the first time since 2019, and what better way to  return than as Captain Hook in Bradford! It's such an iconic character, and I’m really looking forward  to putting my own spin on him and work alongside Billy and Myra, it's going to be so much fun!" 

General Manager of Bradford Theatres, Adam Renton, said: "We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Ryan Thomas to this year's pantomime. Alongside the much loved Billy Pearce and the sensational Myra DuBois, we're bringing together what is undoubtedly one  of the strongest pantomime casts we've seen at the Alhambra Theatre in recent years. Ryan is one of  the UK's most recognisable television personalities, with a huge following both on screen and across  social media, and his addition adds even more star power to an already outstanding show. Audiences  can expect a brilliant festive production filled with laughter, magic and unforgettable entertainment."
