Terry Gleed to star in panto for the FOURTH consecutive year!

He will be starring in his fourth consecutive pantomime at the Marina Theatre – returning by popular demand!

And popular funny man Terry Gleed has really found his home from home in Lowestoft as he gears up to play Smee in this year’s production of Peter Pan.

Terry, who has previously starred as Pickles in Sleeping Beauty, French Freddy in Beauty and the Beast and Wishee Wishee in Aladdin, will now will take on the role of Smee when Peter Pan runs for 32 performances full of pirates and fairy dust between Dec 13 and Jan 1.

Speaking about his return, Terry said: “I am absolutely overwhelmed to be coming back for a fourth time. The audiences are always electric, exciting and with a warm family community spirit which encourages us on stage to have a fun connection.

“Doing schools visits and community Christmas events is a joy for me and the meet and greets in the foyer after each show is the icing on the cake.

“Lowestoft has a magic all on its own – from the moment I arrive until the curtain falls on the last night, I have a constant smile on my face.”

It will be the sixth time that Terry has taken a trip to Never Land, having previously played a Lost Boy opposite Lulu and Eric Sykes and most recently playing Smee alongside Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee at the Aylesbury Civic Centre in 2007.

Lee Henderson, Chief Executive of the Marina Theatre, said: “We are all delighted to welcome back our resident funny man to our most popular run of performances in the year.

“Terry always proves extremely popular with our audiences and we look forward to another fun-filled show for all the family to enjoy.

“Aladdin was our most successful pantomime on record and we hope as many people as possible will join us again for Peter Pan.”

Pantomime Producer Paul Holman added: “I am delighted to bring Terry back to my home town of Lowestoft for a fourth consecutive season.

"The town has become a home from home for Terry. He arrives weeks before the curtain even goes up to meet, greet and entertainment the public out and about in Lowestoft.

"He loves the town and the people and he loves to make us laugh. With years of showbiz credits and a warm cheeky chappy personality Terry is the perfect choice to play the naughty but loveable pirate Smee in our 2018 swashbuckling pantomime Peter Pan.”
