Peter Pan started Saturday in Nottingham with Hoff the Hook with a VIP Reception. The Royal Centre posted photos to their Facebook page of the event.David Hasselhoff has helped spark record-breaking ticket sales this year for Peter Pan. The Nottingham Post wrote a review of the Panto. Here's an excerpt:
He [good-natured pirate Mr Smee] found the perfect foil in Hasselhoff for other side-splitting moments, including a marvellous section where he and his camp troupe of twerking pirates repeated everything ‘the Hoff’ said.There were also some amusingly smutty misunderstandings when Smee stored a telescope in his trousers as well the bikini-clad pirate’s own must-see tribute to Hasselhoff’s hit show Baywatch.Ironically, it fell to Smee to give the legend that is the Hoff a suitably over-the-top introduction when the television colossus joined proceedings 25 minutes in.
DAVID Hasselhoff will star in this year's Theatre Royal pantomime, Peter Pan, as ultimate baddie Captain Hook.Joining him will be Nottingham's Hi-de-Hi star Su Pollard.The Hoff, best known for his iconic roles as Michael Knight in Knight Rider and Mitch Buchanan in Baywatch says he’s thrilled to be heading to Nottingham."I love performing in pantomime.

David Hasselhoff of "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" fame is spending the holiday season in England, where he is starring in a stage musical of "Peter Pan," playing Captain "Hoff the Hook."And it isn't his first time, either. The 60-year-old American actor has performed the part in various UK productions since the 2010 holiday season. He began starring in "Peter Pan" the musical comedy, referred to locally as a pantomime, at the Manchester Opera House earlier this month and will end his run on January 13, according to the official website."I'm David Hasselhoff and I'm playing Hoff the Hook in 'Peter Pan,'" he says in a promotional video, which shows him pulling up in a car similar to the artificially intelligent 1982 Pontiac Trans Am known as KITT, his trusty partner from the 1980s series "Knight Rider."In the clip, Hasselhoff wears a traditional Captain Hook costume, complete with a dark, long, curly wig and mustache and a silver hook on his left hand."With Tam Ryan as Smee and Amy Bird as Peter Pan, it's the most Hoff-tastic panto in town!" he says. "Don't hold off getting your tickets -- it's going to be Hoff-crazy, Hoff the charts, we're going to Hoff-inity and behond! So you'd better be quick, Hoff the mark. I'm Hoff now -- take KITT for some Hoff-roading. KITT, it's Hoff to Neverland!"The actor had actually made his theatrical debut in a "Peter Pan" play. He was 7 at the time.Hasselhoff made his Broadway debut in the musical "Jekyll and Hyde" in 2000 and played the dual title role of Dr. Henry Jekyll and his killer alter ego Mr. Edward Hyde in the production until 2001.

He later starred for several months in a Las Vegas production of "The Producers," playing cross-dressing director Roger DeBris.He left in May 2007, a year after undergoing a divorce. His rep said at the time it was due to the actor's work schedule -- he was also serving as a judge on "America's Got Talent."That month, a video of Hasselhoff appearing shirtless and drunk and trying to eat a hamburger off the floor surfaced online and went viral. It was filmed by one of his two daughters, who pleads with him to stop drinking. The actor said in a statement after the clip was released that he had had a relapse after recovering from alcoholism."HASSELHOFF THE MUSICAL"?Hasselhoff played hero Michael Knight on "Knight Rider" from 1982 to 1986.

"'Baywatch the Musical' but really kind of like 'David Hasselhoff the Musical.' It's in development now. We're actually doing it from a timeline from where I start off young and get to be my age."He added that he loves being in the United Kingdom, citing how the people "love to sing" and "love to play."

She played the Genie in productions of "Aladdin" during the 2009 and 2010 holiday seasons even sang a cover of Christina Aguilera's "Genie In a Bottle" during her performances, as seen in a fan-made YouTube video."I thought it was great," the actress told BBC News in 2010, regarding her first pantomime experience. "People always say Americans don't get it, but I think it's terrific. I wish they did more theatre like this in America. I think people would love it."Hasselhoff praised Anderson during his BBC News interview, calling her a "terrific actress." He said she also plans to star in another pantomime soon The Canadian bombshell actress' rep had no immediate comment.In addition to his stage performances in the United Kingdom and his music career, Hasselhoff has over the past few years appeared on shows such as "The Young and the Restless" and "Sons of Anarchy" and films such as "Piranha 3DD."He was a judge on "America's Got Talent" between 2006 and 2009.
