Nights you don't want to miss
- Opening NightCome and join us for our first performance.

Sunderland Empire
Join Peter, Smee, Tinker Bell, Emily Darling and Ethel the Mermaid on a brand-new adventure full of audience interaction, incredible flying effects, giggles galore and…of course, crocodiles!

Back by popular demand, is the fabulous Miss Rory (Boulevard) as the enchanting Rorina the Mermaid and hilarious funny man Tom Whalley as the side-splitting Smee in the North East’s canniest panto!
Life has been smooth sailing for Peter Pan since he defeated Captain Hook... or so he thought. Whispers are spreading that the notorious Hook survived those stormy seas and is out for revenge. Could it be true? Watch out... he might be right behind you!
Get ready for gravity-defying flying scenes, stunning choreography, and mind- blowing special effects that will leave you gasping. Pirate sword fights, crocodile chases, and jaw-dropping stunts bring Neverland to life like you’ve never seen before!
Bursting with hilarious jokes, show-stopping songs, and non-stop action, this is the pantomime event of the year - and you won’t want to miss it. Book your tickets before they fly away!

Sunderland Empire







Vesta Tilley laid the foundation stone of what is now the Sunderland Empire on 29 September 1906 and took to the stage on 1 July 1907 to officially declare the theatre open. Masterminded by two of the contemporary heads of British theatre, Edward Moss and Oswald Stoll, the Sunderland Empire Theatre has undergone many changes since it opened but remains the North East’s premier entertainment venue.
