The announcement on Richmond Theatre's web site:
Richmond Theatre are pleased to announce that legendary TV and film actor Henry Winkler (OBE), best known
for his role as The Fonz in US TV series Happy Days, will be the bad guy everyone loves to hate as he takes
on the role of the dastardly Captain Hook in this year's swashbuckling spectacular of a pantomime, Peter Pan.
Winkler who has played the role of Hook to great acclaim in previous pantomimes says 'Captain Hook, with his
sword fighting, singing off-key, and a crew that couldn't sail through a bathtub, is so much fun to play. I am
filled to the brim with dastardly anticipation not only to be in Richmond's 114-year-old theatre, but also in
pantomime at Christmas time.'
'We are extremely privileged that such an iconic international star will be leading the cast in this year's
traditional pantomime here in Richmond, and we look forward to welcoming him to our theatre', said Richmond Theatre's
General Manager Kate Wrightson.
Completing the line up for this year's pantomime and appearing alongside Henry in the title role of Peter will be
West End star Jeremy Legat (Wicked) and Sky TV presenter Victoria Tyrrell as Wendy. They will also be joined on stage
by panto stalwart Dermot Canavan playing the role of Smee.
Peter Pan will run at Richmond Theatre from Friday 6 December 2013 to Sunday 12 January 2014, and is the perfect adventure
for kids, and adults who never grew up!

sprinkle of fairy dust, this year's production of Peter Pan is sure to delight the whole family. So if you believe
