It’s panto time... oh yes, it is! And this year, we’re bringing you one of the most magical fairy tales of all - Aladdin! 

​

In the bustling streets of Old Peking, young Aladdin dreams of a better life far beyond his humble home with his widowed mother, Widow Twankey, and his mischievous brother Wishee Washee. When Aladdin is recruited by the wicked sorcerer Abanazar to retrieve a mysterious lamp from a hidden cave, he soon discovers that the lamp holds a powerful Genie who can grant wishes.

With the Genie’s help, Aladdin transforms his fortunes, winning the heart of the beautiful Princess and outwitting Abanazar’s evil schemes. But as greed and jealousy grow, Abanazar plots to steal the lamp for himself, leading to a magical showdown of good versus evil.

​

Packed with comedy, audience participation, slapstick chaos, and larger-than-life characters, Aladdin is a classic pantomime full of adventure, romance, and wish-granting fun for the whole family.
