Pontefract Traitors star to perform in Olivier award-winning musical in York
The Traitors star Theo Mayne, who is from Pontefract, will star in a new theatre production in the region.
Theo, who was a ‘faithful’ in the first series of The Traitors, in 2022, finishing a respectable tenth out of 22 players.
Since then, he has appeared as a panelist on GB News and starred in the 2025 Harpenden pantomime, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, at the Eric Morecambe Centre.
Now, the Pontefract star will take to stage once again, this time in a new production of ‘Come From Away’ at the Grand Opera House York.
Theo joins the acclaimed theatre group, York Stage, to bring the uplifting Olivier Award-winning musical, which is based on a true story, to the stage
Theo said: “Musical theatre has been a huge part of my life since the age of ten.
"Over the years, I’ve developed my skills — teaching myself the ropes and growing as a performer along the way.
"I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with some fantastic directors and choreographers who have helped shape me into the performer I am today, as well as performing alongside wonderful people who have helped me gain even more skills, tips, and tricks to strengthen my performing abilities.
"Joining York Stage is honestly incredible, as they produce such fantastical large-scale productions.
"It’s also really special to be performing within my own region, doing what I love most — singing, dancing, and acting.”
The show will run from Friday, April 10 until Saturday, April 18.
