Peter Pan Panto Cast Announced For Kettering’s Lighthouse Theatre

A classic family adventure is flying into Kettering this Christmas, with the Lighthouse Theatre revealing the cast who’ll be taking audiences all the way to Neverland for its 2026 festive pantomime.

Peter Pan will run from 11 until 31 December, with Evan Taylor Benyacar taking the title role after recently appearing in Starlight Express in London, while Sarah Bluck joins him as Wendy.

Several Lighthouse panto favourites are also coming back, with comedian Rollo returning as Smee alongside Maisie Asbury as Tinkerbell, while Samuel Wright swaps the world of the Wicked movie for Neverland as Captain Hook and Stewart Briggs joins the fun as Dame Henrietta Hook.

Produced by KD Theatre Productions, the show will follow Peter and Wendy on their adventure through Neverland, with flying effects set to be a major part of the production alongside colourful scenery and plenty of traditional panto fun.

There’s also a special cause at the heart of this year’s run, with five per cent from every ticket sold being donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital, while a relaxed performance will take place at 6pm on 30 December.

Tickets are already on sale for Peter Pan, with performances running throughout December before the Lighthouse Theatre’s trip to Neverland comes to an end on New Year’s Eve.
