Simon Thomsett, Theatre Director at the New Victoria Theatre, said “This is going to be one spectacular Christmas in Woking; we’re over the Aladdin moon to be working with last year’s production team for this year’s extravaganza which is already shaping up to be another record breaking pantomime season. One thing we can be sure of is that it’s going to be a lot of fun with Brendan Cole taking the lead and Bobby Davro, whose pantomime performances are legendary. We have a brilliant supporting cast to tell the classic tale of Aladdin and his magic lamp with Princess Jasmine as CBBC’s Mischa Eckersley. We can’t wait for this magic carpet ride of a seasonal treat.”

Featuring a wish-granting genie, an evil sorcerer and the timeless tale of the Twankey family, tickets are already on sale and selling fast, so audiences should hop aboard their flying carpets and head to the New Victoria Theatre to ensure they don’t miss this year’s must-see, genie-us Woking panto!

Aladdin will play at the New Victoria Theatre from the 6th December until the 5th January 2020.
