Peter Pan: A Pantomime Adventure
Greenwich Theatre presents Peter Pan 2025’s pantomime!
Written by and starring Greenwich favourite Anthony Spargo! Our Award-Winning team returns this Christmas with even more magic, mischief and mayhem — so book early to join the fun, and bag the best seats in the house!
Booing at this year’s pantomime at Greenwich Theatre will reach new levels with the return of everyone’s favourite villain Anthony Spargo as Captain Hook in Peter Pan: A Pantomime Adventure.
Anthony will be remembered and still loudly hissed for his dastardly portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood and as the cruel and calculating Count Fracula in Red Riding Hood. “We’re so excited to see Anthony back with us to play Captain Hook,” said James Haddrell, the theatre’s artistic director. “He’s made for the role – Anthony’s the perfect villain.”
Anthony Spargo wins GOLD with Best Script and Greenwich Theatre takes home Best Pantomime at the Pantomime Awards
This year’s Pantomime Peter Pan is a rip-roaring retelling of the classic adventure, packed with sword fights, secret plots, royal scandal and unstoppable laughs. Again, written by and starring multi-award winner Anthony Spargo.
This follows hot-on-the-heels of last year’s production of Dick Whittington and his Cat which won Best Pantomime under 500 seats for Greenwich Theatre, as well as Best Script for Anthony, at The UK Pantomime Association Best Pantomime Awards.

Reviews of previous Pantomimes
Simply outstanding
First time at the Greenwich theatre and from start (booking over the phone) to finish singing (poorly) on the way home after the panto everything was simply marvellous. Great staff, great theatre, great location, wonderful show and cast.
My 14 year old son hadn’t been to a panto for years and I doubt has ever been to one anywhere like as good as this. He thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderful show and a fabulous cast.
Christmas Panto
The annual panto at Greenwich Theatre is one of the highlights of our Christmas festivities.
Each year I think “this is even better than last year”.The reality is that ever year is incredibly funny and entertaining and over the twelve months I have forgotten how marvellous it all is. I have observed very well behaved adults with their children/grandchildren become part of a raucous audience enjoying their ability to interact.
Charming version of Cinderella
We went to Greenwich theatre to see Cinderella. Kids week made the tickets especially good value & we loved our trip. It’s a lovely little theatre. Plenty of legroom & clear view from our seat (we were in row C but I don’t think there was s bad seat in the house as small & chairs are well staggered). Cinderella was totally charming. The actors/musicians were incredibly talented, playing multiple instruments & parts. Definitely worth a trip!
