Genie of the Lamp with Latin Magic!
Granting wishes with a touch of Latin and ballroom magic in this year’s Marina Theatre
pantomime will be Robin Windsor as he cha cha chas into the role of Genie of the Lamp
in Aladdin.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional is in constant global demand having achieved
world championship success, prior to partnering Anita Dobson, Patsy Kensit and Deborah
Meaden in the popular Saturday night TV programme which made him an instant
favourite with viewers. Robin partnered with Lisa Riley in the 2012 series, lifting the glitter
ball as Strictly champions!
He started his dance training in Ipswich at the age of three and has gone on to perform
and choreograph across the world, including a period in St Lucia as Entertainment
Director, Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, both in Australia,
headlining Burn the Floor in London’s West End, national tours of Puttin’ on the Ritz,
Keep Dancing and Here Come the Boys at the legendary London Palladium.
Robin recently headlined a nationwide tour of Come What May, a high-energy musical
extravaganza and received an Honorary Degree from Suffolk University for his services to
dance.
Pantomime producer Paul Holman said:
“I’m delighted Robin will be performing in pantomime this December at the Marina
Theatre. He has such energy and charisma, he’s perfectly cast as Genie of the Lamp, a
role he has performed before in Bridlington and Redditch. Robin has also played Gaston
in Beauty and the Beast at the Pavilion in Worthing, so he’ll bring some strictly swagger
and attitude to the role too!”
Aladdin takes off from the Marina Theatre in Lowestoft from 12 December to 1 January
2024.
