Aladdin
A musical pantomime adapted by Ben Crocker
Directed by Gwen Browning
Based on the original fairy tale from One Thousand and One Nights, the plot centres around the wicked wizard Abanazar who has spent years searching for a magic lamp.
Guided by the Genie of the Ring, he learns that only Aladdin, a poor washerwoman’s son, can enter the enchanted jewel filled cave, so he disguises himself as Aladdin’s long-lost uncle and spirits him away, to find the magic lamp. But all they find is a dirty old lamp that possesses extraordinary magical powers.
The production promises plenty of laughs, toe-tapping numbers, engaging comic roles, a Kung-fu Princess, a lively laundry scene and a mischievous panda. You are encouraged to boo the villain and cheer for our hero in this fun-filled pantomime.

You “borrow” the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you’re truly living.
