DAVID HASSLEHOFF TO PLAY CAPTAIN HOOK IN PETER PAN PANTO IN BRISTOL
Cheesetastic celeb David Hasslehoff, aka The Hoff, has been announced as the big star of this year’s Peter Pan Panto at Bristol Hippodrome.
Best known for the iconic roles of Michael Knight in Knight Rider and Mitch Buchanan in the most watched TV show in history, Baywatch and currently appearing as a judge in Britain’s Got Talent, will be starring in the swashbuckling panto from Saturday 10 December 2010.
David Hasselhoff said: “I am so delighted to be returning to the role of Captain Hook, I had a blast last year in Wimbledon. I’ve been spending a great deal of time in the UK, it feels like my second home and I can’t wait to spend Christmas with the people of Bristol. Watch out – Hoff the Hook is coming to get ya!”
Christiaan de Villiers, General Manager at The Bristol Hippodrome, said: “The Hippodrome staff weren’t quite sure they’d heard me correctly when I told them who our pantomime star was going to be this year. The Hoff, you mean THE David Hasselhoff? World famous celebrity, star of Knight Rider and Baywatch is going to be starring in our pantomime Peter Pan this year? It certainly took a while for the news to sink in that’s for sure! Such excitement had to be seen to be believed. This is truly fantastic news for the theatre and Bristol and we look forward to welcoming The Hoff to our wonderful city.”
