PETER PAN
AT THE CLIFFS PAVILION SOUTHEND THIS CHRISTMAS!
Sat 9 Dec – Sun 31 Dec 2023
Further star casting has been announced by The Cliffs Pavilion for this year’s magical production of the high-flying Panto, Peter Pan, from Saturday 9th December.
Joining the previously announced comedian Joe Pasquale is everyone’s favourite TV judge, Rob Rinder, as Captain Hook.
Rob Rinder has been presiding over cases in his TV courtroom since 2014 as Judge Rinder and came fifth in the 2016 season of Strictly Come Dancing. Rob was awarded a BAFTA for an episode of the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are where he explored his Jewish heritage, and last year presented a critically-acclaimed BBC documentary series My Family, The Holocaust & Me. Rinder has appeared on Celebrity Googlebox, was crowned winner of All Star Musicals and is a columnist for the Evening Standard and The Sun newspapers.
Rob Rinder said “After sharing my glittering reflections with the people of Milton Keynes last year in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, I’m delighted to be returning to pantomime alongside panto royalty Joe Pasquale. This time I’ll be bringing less sparkle and more wickedness to Southend, climbing aboard the Jolly Roger as Captain Hook”
Peter Pan will take audiences on a swashbuckling adventure and will include all your favourites from Neverland including Tinker Bell and Wendy, John, and Michael Darling and will include amazing special effects, stunning sets, beautiful costumes and barrel-loads of laughter.
Peter Pan is staged by Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, led by Michael Harrison and the creative team behind recent Cliffs Pavilion successes including last year’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Michael Harrison said “We’re absolutely delighted that Rob has agreed to join us in Southend this Christmas following triumphant seasons for us in Bristol and Milton Keynes. I’m certain that he’s going to make a formidable opponent for Peter Pan in the role of the Panto Villain, Captain Hook! With Joe and Rob leading the cast, Essex audiences will definitely be in for a comedy-packed panto this Christmas”
Further casting will be announced later in the year.
Peter Pan begins its high-flying adventure at The Cliffs Pavilion from Saturday 9th December 2023 until Sunday 31st December 2023. For more information, or to book, visit www.southendtheatres.org.uk.

Joe’s TV career started as a runner-up on ‘New Faces’ in 1987 and since then, he has gone on to be crowned King Of The Jungle on ITV’s ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me out Of Here’ in 2004; He hosted his ITV Special ‘An Audience With Joe Pasquale’; hosted the long running television series ‘The Price Is Right’ for ITV, starred in ITV’s ‘Dancing on Ice’ in 2013; dangled from the ceiling of the London Palladium in 2016 & 2017 for ITV’s ‘Live From The Palladium’; taken part in ITV’s ‘Sugar Free Farm’; appeared on five Royal Variety Performances; numerous guest appearances on BBC’s ‘Celebrity Mastermind’ and ‘Celebrity Chase’ and most recently took part in ITV1’s ‘The All New Monty: Who Bares Wins’ for Stand-up to Cancer.
Joe made his theatrical debut in 1999 in Larry Shue’s ‘The Nerd’ which prompted Time Out to describe his performance as “rib-shatteringly funny” and went on to appear in the touring productions of Tom Stoppard’s ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead’ in 2004; Mel Brooks ‘The Producers’ in 2007; ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ in 2010; ‘Doctor In The House’ with Robert Powell in 2012; ‘Ha Ha Holmes – The Hound Of The Baskervilles’ (2013-2015); in the West End and touring production of ‘Spamalot’ in the starring role of ‘King Arthur’; more recently in the socially distanced John Godber two-hander play ‘April In Paris’ (2021) and in 2022 in the starring role of ‘Frank Spencer’ in the new stage touring adaptation of hit TV sitcom ‘Some Mothers Do Ave Em’.
Having qualified as a pilot and taken up boxing and running, Joe has continued to enhance his action man credentials by competing in a celebrity edition of ‘Total Wipeout’ against the likes of Fatima Whitbread and Sally Gunnell; attempted to smash the ‘most amount of martial arts throws in a minute’ on Guinness World Records smashed; spent time in a Costa Rican prison for Virgin One’s ‘The Prisoner X’ documentary season and was shipped off to the jungles of Guyana for the Discovery Channel’s ‘Alone In the Wild’ series, where he survived alone, with a camera in the depths of the rainforest for five days!
