Who would ever have pictured the Fonz from Happy Days as a classical actor?

Well, while not busy appearing at your local car show, Henry Winkler will now be joining the British Milton Keynes Theatre as Captain Hook for this year's pantomime, Peter Pan.

The Fonz in pantomime Peter Pan!

Does that sound appealing to anyone other than Michael Jackson????

Winkler is one of the first American stars to ever be cast in a British pantomime by First Family Entertainment.

Milton Keynes Theatre's Chief Executive Officer, Elizabeth Adlington, said "We are extremely privileged that such an iconic international star will be enjoying the family pantomime tradition here in Milton Keynes, and I look forward to welcoming him to our theatre".

Winkler adds, "Being in panto equals joy, and playing Captain Hook gives me joy. How great to share this fantastic adventure with the audience in Milton Keynes."

The show will premier this December 5th through January 18th.

If we're in England during the holidays, we might just have to drop on by.

NOT!
