In continuation of last year's thread, which famous people will be gracing your home town?

Here's a couple to start you off. At the New Wimbledon Theatre has the Fonz starring as Peter Pan:

And for the lucky folks going to the Grimsby Auditorium can have the pleasure of seeing a former Gladiator in another production of Peter Pan:

So who's coming your way this Christmas, let us know!

    Jim Fenner was the Narrator when i watched the Rocky Horror Musical in Sunderland and he was absolutely brilliant, he answered some of the heckles and was quite amusing.

    It's Chico time in Brighton - he's in Aladdin at the Theatre Royal with, and I quote, "80s pop sensation Toyah Wilcox". Hmmm, I'm glad to see she's still got a career - amazing what a stint in the jungle can do!

    Birmingham Hip, 19th December - 28th of January: Cinderella... With:
    We are delighted to announce that this Christmas, for our stunning Pantomime, we will be presenting the fabulous and magical production of Cinderella.

    Cinderella will star Brian Conley, as Buttons who has kindly agreed to return to us for Panto following his starring role as Caractacus Potts this summer in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (from 26 June - 29 July). Shobna Gulati from Coronation Sreet and Where the Heart Is will perform the role of The Fairy Godmother and Nigel Ellacott and Peter Robbins return as the ugliest sisters in pantoland!


    If I was doing a 3 hour stage performance every day for the best part of a month, I think I'd collapse from exhaustion, I don't know how they all manage it!
