IT was the ultimate fairytale ending – Peter Pan proposing to Wendy on stage.

Sandor Sturbl, who plays Peter in a new musical of the classic tale, got down on one knee near the end of a performance at the Hydro in Glasgow.

And the audience erupted in cheers when Lilly-Jane Young, who plays Wendy Darling, said: “Yes” right away.

Lilly-Jane, 22, who has been dating Sandor, 28, for just over a year, was shocked but delighted at the proposal.

She said: “We were just about to sing our final song of the night when the music suddenly stopped.

“I thought it was a technical hitch and was staring to panic when Sandor turned to the audience and said, ‘Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is usually the moment when Peter Pan gives Wendy a kiss. Lilly-Jane is the love of my life.

"She’s from Glasgow and performing here means the world to her. That’s why I want to ask her to marry me.’”

Lilly-Jane added: “I couldn’t believe it. I said, ‘Yes’ straight away and all of the audience started clapping.

“It was a magical moment and one I’ll never forget.”

Romantic Sandor arranged for Lilly-Jane’s family to be in the crowd for his proposal on Saturday night.

He produced a blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring – aptly named the Wendy design.

Lilly-Jane, from Cumbernauld, near Glasgow, said: “I’m thrilled. I feel like the luckiest girl alive and I can’t wait to marry Sandor.”

The couple met while working on the arena tour of the £10million musical Peter Pan: The Never Ending Story, which stars former X Factor singer Stacey Solomon.

Sandor said he had been thinking about proposing for a while.

But he wanted to do it in front of his sweetheart’s home audience.

He said; “We’ve toured all over the world and when we found out the show was coming to Glasgow, Lilly-Jane was so excited. When I went to pick out a ring, I spotted one called the Wendy design.

“I took it as a sign and bought it. Only a few people knew about my plan but I had to tell some of the production crew so that they knew to cut the music on time.

“I was really nervous and just hoped she would say, ‘Yes’ – otherwise it could have been pretty embarrassing.

“Thankfully, she did. We were both really overcome with emotion and couldn’t stop smiling.

“The crowd were terrific. Everyone got up and clapped.”
