| Peter Panto Star Flies In |
|
Singer Jon Lee will be flying into the UK from America next week for a very important job – learning how to fly! The former S Club 7 star is playing Peter Pan in this year’s panto at the White Rock in Hastings and top of his list of things to do will be switching on the town’s Christmas lights on November 20, followed by learning his lines and practising how to look graceful while reaching for the stars above the stage of the theatre. He’s previously starred as Marius in the West End musical Les Miserables, and was Oliver Twist 12 years ago in Oliver! at the London Palladium, but Peter Pan is his first panto. He’s really looking forward to it. “Everyone can relate to him. All the kids want to be him and go and live in Neverland and not grow up. I just think it's a great fantasy for all of us. The hero is always fun to play because you tend to survive to the end of the show!” As the only flying he’s done before has been by jumbo jet – Jon now lives in Los Angeles - he’s excited about learning how to fly with just a wire to aid lift-off. As fans of J M Barrie’s story know, Peter and his friends the Lost Boys live in Neverland with Tinkerbell the fairy, Tiger Lily and the redskin braves, Captain Hook and his pirate band – and one terrible ticking crocodile. The biggest adventure of all happens when he has to save Wendy Darling and her brothers from Hook’s evil clutches. Join Jon and a great cast which includes Hastings-based comic actor Steve Furst as Pirate Smee when Peter Pan opens at the White Rock Theatre on December 10.
