Open Sesame on Chesterfield’s next Pantomime!
Magic, mystery and mayhem await audiences to Chesterfield’s Winding Wheel Theatre this December when producers Paul Holman Associates return with a sumptuous and spectacular offering of the pantomime Aladdin.
Opening on Friday 1 December, Aladdin is a family adventure that starts in Widow Twankey’s launderette and journeys onto the iconic cave of colourful gems and jewels before it’s all aboard the magic carpet ride of fun and fantasy!
A host of fabulous characters, including Wishee Washee, Princess Jasmine and the Spirit of the Ring join Aladdin in his battle with the evil sorcerer Abanazar. The outrageously wonderful Widow Twankey is on a quest to find love and the Genie of the Lamp will be kept busy granting wishes. Details of this year’s cast and who will be stepping into the roles of these larger-than-life characters will be announced later in the year.
Panto producer Paul Holman said:
“Following the success of Sleeping Beauty, the first pantomime ever at the Winding Wheel Theatre, we’re excited to be returning with this magical pantomime story of Aladdin. Once more, the Winding Wheel stage will be transformed to allow for a big production, with sumptuous scenery, dramatic lighting and of course, the essential magic carpet.
“Lavish costumes will add additional sparkle and with a snappy script, modern choreography and music, Aladdin is packed with everything Chesterfield audiences love from their panto!”
Running until 2 January 2024, tickets for Aladdin are on sale now at chesterfieldtheatres.co.uk/panto.
