Arts Theatre is delighted to announce that Aladdin, the 2021 traditional
family pantomime, and the first full-scale Christmas production since the
theatre’s COVID-19 closure, is now on sale.
Dave Murphy, Chief Executive at Cambridge Arts Theatre and producer of this
year’s pantomime, said: “It feels brilliant to be back and producing the
spectacular family pantomime that our audiences know and love. Although 2020’s
Dame Trott’s Panto Palaver brought joy to so many people across the city, COVID
restrictions meant we had to work on a smaller scale than usual. Now theatres
can safely reopen in line with Government advice, we are working on making this
year’s show bigger and better than ever before!”
Matt Crosby will star as Widow Twankey. Aladdin is Crosby’s sixteenth
pantomime at Cambridge Arts Theatre, with recent credits including Dame
Trott’s Panto Palaver and Cinderella in 2019. Further casting will
be announced soon.
Aladdin longs for riches, good fortune and his one true love while stuck
working in Widow Twankey’s laundrette. But when the dastardly Abanazar lures
him into the depths of a deep dark cave, Aladdin’s life is turned upside down!
With the Genie by his side and the magic lamp in his pocket, Aladdin finds
himself on the adventure of a lifetime. But Abanazar has other plans… can Aladdin
defeat him and win the hand of the Princess, or will he be back in the
laundrette before you can say “open sesame”?
In December 2020, against all odds, the Arts Theatre presented Dame Trott’s Panto Palaver, on a socially distanced basis to 5,500 overexcited audience members.
In 2019, the Arts Theatre celebrated sparkling success with their production of Cinderella, welcoming over 32,000 adults and children through the doors.
Aladdin is directed by Michael Gattrell, who has been involved in over
30 pantomimes. His recent credits include Dame Trott’s Panto Palaver (Cambridge
Arts Theatre), Peter Pan, Cinderella (both Theatre Royal Bath) and Dear Zoo (tour).
Aladdin is written by Al Lockhart-Morley, who has been the resident
panto writer at Cambridge Arts Theatre since 2014.
