Comedy Sensation Myra DuBois To Return To Bradford Panto With Billy Pearce At The Alhambra Theatre

Bradford’s spectacular pantomime is set to make an even bigger splash this festive season as Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Myra DuBois has been confirmed as returning to the Alhambra Theatre following her acclaimed appearance in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs last year. Myra will star as Magical MerMyra, alongside Yorkshire panto favourite Billy Pearce as Smee in this year’s production of The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan which runs from Saturday 5th December 2026 to Sunday 17th January 2027.

Myra DuBois, the self-proclaimed ‘Siren from South Yorkshire,’ returns to the stage in a whole new light, swapping her villainous Wicked Queen for a new role, ensuring good triumphs over evil as the Magical MerMyra. A breakout star of Britain’s Got Talent 2020, Myra has played London’s biggest cabaret stages and toured her one-woman shows around the world and back, including Be Well (UK tour, Hackney Empire, Edinburgh Fringe, Australia tour), Dead Funny (Edinburgh Fringe, UK tour, Sydney Opera House), and A Problem Shared (Edinburgh Fringe and London Residency). Her most recent show Cosmic Empath just concluded a sell-out tour of the UK and Ireland.

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.

Talking about her return to Bradford, Myra DuBois, said:
"I'm beyond thrilled to be returning to the beautiful Alhambra Theatre this Christmas. I had such fun with Bradford audiences last Christmas, and cannot wait to make a splash as the Magical MerMyra in Peter Pan, reuniting with the wonderful Billy Pearce. What an honour to be back, I cannot wait to see what festive silliness we create this year!"

Adam Renton, General Manager, Bradford Theatres comments:
“It’s fantastic news that Myra DuBois is returning to Bradford by popular demand, after winning over audiences and critics alike with her standout performance in last year’s pantomime. With rave reviews and fantastic feedback from the public, Myra quickly became a firm favourite, and we’re delighted to have her back – this time bringing her razor-sharp comedy to a whole new character. Performing alongside panto royalty Billy Pearce, Myra is set to make another brilliant contribution to the show. Those who saw her last year will know she had audiences in stitches, bringing laughter to tens of thousands across the festive season – and for anyone who missed her, I can guarantee you’re in for an absolute treat when you book this year’s panto!”

There is a performance for everybody this festive season: with two signed performances on Thursday 10th December 2pm and Sunday 10th January 5pm; two audio described performances on Thursday 7th January 2pm and 7.15pm; a captioned performance on Sunday 3rd January 5pm; and two relaxed performances on Tuesday 5th January at 1pm and 6pm. The relaxed performance will welcome everyone who would like to see the panto in a less formal atmosphere.

Join Peter Pan and the characters you know and love in this high-flying, swashbuckling adventure. This family treat brings the magic of Neverland to the stage, with Tink’s sparkle, the scheming Captain Hook, a crew of dastardly pirates and a very friendly crocodile. With amazing special effects, stunning sets, beautiful costumes and barrel-loads of laughter, The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan will take your whole family on a magical adventure like never before.
