Norwich Theatre is excited to announce that Quinn Patrick as Tinker Bell aka Tink in this year’s pantomime, The All New Adventures of Peter Pan. The production is set to fly into Norwich Theatre Royal on 5 December 2026, running through the heart of the festive season until 3 January 2027.
Quinn has spent over 25 years delighting audiences as the Dame in pantos across the country. This Christmas, however, brings a hilarious, glittering twist as he swaps the outrageous gowns for a pair of fairy wings!
Quinn brings a wealth of musical theatre experience to the Norwich stage. Stage credits include playing Les in Strictly Ballroom, Chief O’Reilly in Bananaman The Musical, Bill in We’ll Live and Die in these Towns, and the iconic Mr Mushnik in Little Shop of Horrors.
Speaking about his excitement to play Tink, Quinn Patrick said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Norwich Theatre’s pantomime. Having lived in Norfolk for over a decade, I’ve sat in the audience and thoroughly enjoyed the pantos here, so to actually be a part of one is amazing.
“When the theatre approached me about playing Tink, I thought, oh yes. It’s quite exciting to do something different. I can’t wait to take my traditional style of Dame and use it to create a wonderfully unique fairy.”
Quinn joins Joe Tracini, who is playing the role of lovable, confused and unpredictable Smee and Karl Queensborough, who is taking on the role of baddie Captain Hook.
Wendy Ellis, Norwich Theatre Creative Programmes Director and Lead Producer of the pantomime, said: “Panto is all about breaking the rules, and this year we are giving Tinker Bell a twist. We couldn’t be more excited to reveal Quinn as our Tink. With a wealth of panto dame experience, we know that he will give our Tink a sparkle that will have the whole family laughing.”
More casting to be announced soon.
