A spokesman for Sheffield Theatres said: “The team who were behind last year’s successful show Peter Pan, starring Hayley Tamaddon, will once again create the show, which will be a family-friendly pantomime full of humour.”

Pantomime producer Paul Hendy, a former children’s TV and game show presenter will write and direct the production alongside his wife Emily Wood, who has been involved in pantomime production for many years.

Tickets for this year’s show are now on sale at the Sheffield Theatres box office, priced between £10 and £22 each.
