Aladdin - Socially Distanced Pantomime

Details

The Pantomime story of Aladdin and the magic lamp. With a little pantomime magic, and a lot of hard work behind the scenes, we are thrilled to announce that we will be taking you on a magic carpet ride adventure this Christmas. Take the trip of a lifetime and journey to far off lands with Aladdin and his friends, as they discover treasures beyond their wildest dreams. But will they foil Abanazar's evil plan? And will Widow Twankey ever get through her mountain of laundry? Aladdin is written and directed by Plested and Brown, and is full of songs from across the decades and traditional Corn Exchange pantomime fun - plus a few surprises, of course! In order to make pantomime possible, we will be rebuilding our auditorium seating so we can increase capacity whilst still adhering to social distancing measures. Our new seating layout will have more space between rows, the new seats will have individual arm rests, and each household group will be kept separate using dividing Perspex screens.
