About the show
Get ready to rub the lamp, hop aboard the Magic Carpet and fly into a world of laughter, sparkle and panto magic as Aladdin lands at The Hawth this Christmas!
Join our cheeky hero Aladdin, his lovable, larger-than-life brother Wishee Washee and the fabulous Widow Twankey for a fun-filled adventure packed with mischief, mayhem and mountains of laundry! But beware… the wicked Abanazar is plotting to get her hands on the magical lamp, and only Aladdin can save the day!
Can our hero defeat the baddie, win the heart of the beautiful Princess Jasmine and live happily ever after? With the help of a magical Genie, the Spirit of the Ring and a little bit of Christmas magic…Oh yes he can!
This year’s glittering panto adventure stars Olivier Award Winner and Stars in Their Eyes legend Matthew Kelly as the fabulously funny Widow Twankey, Emmerdale’s Linda Lusardi as the dastardly Abanazar, CBeebies’ Cat Sandion as the magical Spirit of the Ring, Matt Rixon (direct from playing Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical) as Emperor, and musical star Darius James as Aladdin.
Expect side-splitting comedy, dazzling costumes, sensational scenery, spectacular songs, plenty of boos and cheers, and all the “He’s behind you!” moments that make panto the perfect Christmas tradition.
