Sheffield Theatres to Present ALADDIN

This Christmas, hold on tight as Sheffield Theatres and Evolution Pantomimes take audiences on a spectacular magic carpet ride in Aladdin, at the Lyceum Theatre from Friday 4 December to Sunday 3 January.

Written and directed by Paul Hendy and produced by the same team who brought last year's smash-hit Dick Whittington to the stage, Aladdin promises to be Sheffield's most spectacular pantomime yet!

When young peasant boy Aladdin falls in love with the beautiful Princess Jasmine, he enlists the help of a mysterious genie to help him win her heart, but as he soon finds out, the path to true love doesn't always run smooth!

Panto's ultimate villain, the evil Abanazar is played by Chris Gascoyne (Coronation Street's Peter Barlow) alongside comedy legend Damian Williams, who returns to Sheffield for his eighth Christmas as Widow Twankey. Children's favourite Alex Winters (CBeebies) plays Wishee Washee with the brilliant Hilary O'Neil as The Genie of the Ring. Rotherham born Jonathan Halliwell (White Christmas, Dominion Theatre) plays the role of Aladdin and Elizabeth Carter (Dreamboats and Miniskirts), Eddie Elliott (The Lion King, We Will Rock You), James Mitchell (CBeebies Live!) and Ieuan Rhys (Stella, Doctor Who) also appear, alongside a fantastic all-singing, all-dancing company.

With stunning sets, breathtaking special effects, glittering costumes, hilarious characters and plenty of audience participation, Aladdin is a fun-filled festive treat for the whole family that will delight audiences this Christmas.
