Pantomime will be making a magical return to the Alhambra Theatre this festive season as Yorkshire panto legend Billy Pearce is back playing Smee, following a triumphant run as The Man in the Mirror in last year’s pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Tickets go on general sale on Monday 30 March for The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan which runs from Saturday 5 December 2026 to Sunday 17 January 2027.
Billy Pearce first topped the bill of the Alhambra Theatre’s annual festive production in 1993, winning acclaim from critics and audience members alike, and has since solidified his reputation as the King of Yorkshire comedy. Side-splittingly funny, Billy will bring his trademark mad-cap comedy and boundless energy to the stage and will have audiences laughing in the aisles just like he does every year.
The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan is produced by the world’s biggest pantomime producer and the team behind the 2025 production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Crossroads Pantomimes. The production will be packed full of the magical ingredients audiences have come to expect from their annual festive show.
Chief Executive of Crossroads Pantomimes, Michael Harrison, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan to the Alhambra Theatre this Christmas and to be welcoming Billy Pearce back for another season in Bradford. Packed with laughter, this will be a story filled with adventure and plenty of laughter, and we’re already underway creating a production filled with breath-taking special effects, beautiful sets and all the magic audiences expect from a Crossroads Pantomime.”
Talking about his return to the Alhambra Theatre this year, Billy Pearce said: "Hiyyyyyya kids! It's not going to be long until I'm back on stage at the Alhambra Theatre. There's something really special about being on stage with my friends in Bradford having a laugh, and I can't think of a better place to spend Christmas. Come along and we'll do our best to defeat Captain Hook together!"
Adam Renton, General Manager, Bradford Theatres comments: “There is always huge affection for the Alhambra Theatre’s spectacular pantomime, and I cannot wait to welcome everyone back to create more wonderful memories again this year. I am sure that panto lovers of all ages will be reminded why our Alhambra Theatre pantomime remains one of the very best in the country, a truly outstanding festive spectacular with Billy leading the show.”
There is a performance for everybody this festive season: with two signed performances on Thursday 10 December 2pm and Sunday 10 January 5pm; two audio described performances on Thursday 7 January 2pm and 7.15pm; a captioned performance on Sunday 3 January 5pm; and two relaxed performances on Tuesday 5 January at 1pm and 6pm. The relaxed performance will welcome everyone who would like to see the panto in a less formal atmosphere.
