Jonathan Kiley, Executive Producer of Peter Pan, said "This is Qdos Entertainment's third year presenting pantomime in Swansea and we couldn't wish for a better cast to bring magically to life the swashbuckling story of Peter Pan. Kevin is a fantastic pantomime renowned for his high-energy comedy which produces fits of laughter everywhere he performs." This magical adaptation of JM Barrie's Peter Pan is produced by Qdos Entertainment, the world's largest pantomime producer and staged by the same team behind the theatre's recent record-breaking pantomimes of Cinderella and Aladdin. Kevin said "Ever since I saw a production of Peter Pan in the mid 90s I have wanted to play the Smee role. I am delighted to be working with Jimmy Osmond once again; he is an outstanding performer and an International star! I'm also over the moon to be performing for Qdos Entertainment, as not a week goes by without someone saying nice things about last year's production of Cinderella and the previous show Aladdin. I can't wait!" Featuring magnificent scenery, beautiful costumes, an abundance of comedy and stunning flying sequences, Peter Pan will have the Grand's hallmark of outstanding value-for-money and entertainment for all ages.
