Brian flies in to the UK for panto season

Brian Fortuna has returned to the UK for his latest stage role - as Peter Pan in panto at the St Helens Theatre Royal on Merseyside.

Brian told the Liverpool Echo that rehearsals were going well but he has yet to try out flying: “I think we’ve got a double harness so I’m going to be able to do some flips and stuff,” he reveals. “I’ve never done it before so that’s going to be an interesting experience.

Brian also spoke to the St Helens Star newspaper.

“And then we’re adding maybe a Latin dance number to the show as well where I’m going to be singing, so it should be interesting.”

The show begins this Friday 6th December and lasts until Sunday 12th January. Tickets can be booked at the St Helens Theatre Royal website.

This is Brian's second panto role - last Christmas he played Aladdin in Northampton. He returned to the USA following that show to develop his acting career.
