Hale's Palladium is hosting a performance of Peter Pan like you’ve never seen it before.
The Fremont Players will perform the classic tale of the boy who didn’t want to grow up as a unique British Pantomime.
“It’s a traditional British panto with men dressing like women and women dressing like men,” said Alison Snyder of The Fremont Players. “But we have reworked the traditional story with our own twist on the characters.”
The performance will feature large colorful characters, and original songs and music performed by the Fremont Philharmonic.
“I highly encourage children to come out. We have a magic carpet in front of the stage for kids to sit on,” Snyder said, adding that the audience is encouraged to boo at the villain, cheer for the hero, and applaud the tap-dancing crocodile.
While the panto is a family event, The Fremont Players promise that enough jokes and innuendos will be fired over the kids' heads to keep everyone entertained.
Snyder said a panto is a British Christmas tradition and many British families living in Seattle attend the show. But with eight shows over four weekends, there will be plenty of opportunity to see Peter Pan as you’ve never seen it before.
The Peter Pan Panto runs from Saturday, December 10 through Sunday, January 15.
Ticket prices range between $6 and $12 and are available online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com.
Hale's Palladium is located at 4301 Leary Way NW.
