Actor and Writer Greg McHugh Set to Join the King's Theatre's Production of PETER PAN

The King's Theatre Glasgow and First Family Entertainment are proud to announce Greg McHugh, star of Gary Tank Commander and Channel 4's Fresh Meat will be joining the cast of Peter Pan.

To celebrate 50 years since the first ever pantomime was staged at the historic venue, the King's is thrilled to introduce a new star, in a new title.

On accepting the role of Smee, Greg said: "I'm extremely excited to be appearing in panto for the very first time and to be part of the King's golden anniversary celebrations makes it even more special. Having studied in Glasgow, I'm looking forward to the challenge of performing in the city's best Christmas production."

Gavin Mitchell, set to appear in a sell out run of Still Game, will be returning to the King's for his 8th pantomime in the role of Captain Hook.

James Haworth, General Manager at the King's Theatre Glasgow, said: "I am delighted to welcome Greg to the King's panto cast. Known for his offbeat comedy, Greg is a fantastic addition to the team. I am also thrilled the talented Gavin Mitchell, a firm favourite with King's audiences, will be returning as the evil Captain Hook. With Greg as his sidekick, I am certain this will be a comedy duo to watch out for."

Peter Pan will be flying into the King's Theatre on Saturday 6 December 2014. More casting news to follow.
