Following the exciting re-launch of The Pearce Suite Theatre at Magnet Leisure Centre, Q Productions is delighted to announce that it will be bringing Maidenhead its first professional pantomime with the much-loved family favourite, ALADDIN.

The Pearce Suite Theatre at Magnet Leisure Centre will be converted into a 400-seat theatre space for the whole of December, offering wonderful family entertainment that all ages can enjoy together. And with ticket prices from £10.50-£16.50, it's a pantomime for all of the community! What's more, with schools and clubs group bookings of 10+ all children within the group receive a free ice cream and every 11th ticket is free.*

Teaming up with Legacy Leisure, Q Productions will ensure ALADDIN will be the best and most welcoming pantomime yet!

Jonny Walker, Events Manager at the Magnet Leisure Centre, said: "We are delighted that local family audiences will be able to enjoy a top-quality pantomime right on their doorstep this December, thanks to the partnership between Magnet Leisure Centre and Q Productions. The community will be thrilled to see the venue's magical transformation!"

Audiences will be taken on a magical journey to Old Peking where song, dance and silliness are the order of the day as they follow the hilarious Widow Twankey and her sons Aladdin and Wishee Washee as they fall in love, fall over and get truly covered in foam and gunge! Will they succeed in overthrowing the wicked plans of the evil Abanazar, and will Aladdin win the heart of Princess Jasmine?

Packed full of side-splitting comedy, stunning special effects and lavish costumes, ALADDIN will be a fully-produced professional pantomime featuring a star name (to be announced shortly), who will appear alongside a cast of West End performers and local young talent.

Q Productions, the sister company of The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts, established to present professional productions throughout the UK, is delighted to be producing theatre in Maidenhead to ensure people in the area have access to the arts.

Eddie Dredge, Director of Q Productions, said: "We are so pleased that Q Productions will be bringing the magic of ALADDIN to The Pearce Suite Theatre at Magnet Leisure Centre this December. We're thrilled to be bringing Maidenhead its very own pantomime. I'm really excited for this special production and look forward to working with the local community."
