Sometimes you get even more than you wished for...
Aladdin wishes the Princess would notice him, the Princess wishes she could live a normal life, Aladdin's mother wishes she could remember what she came in here for...and there's something very peculiar about that ancient clapped out rusty thing. (The lamp...not his mother).
Let us whisk you away this Christmas to the town of Shangri-La where the sorcerers are sinister, the caves are full of surprises, and the genies have been bottling things up for a bit.
With spectacular sets, breathtaking special effects, gorgeous costumes and mountains of mayhem, the award-winning Little Wolf Entertainment are bringing panto back to The Core Theatre with our most lavish, action-packed family adventure so far!
It doesn't take a genie-us to know that one of your three wishes should be to see Aladdin at The Core Theatre this Christmas!
There is a relaxed performance of the pantomime on Tuesday 30 December - find out more here: Aladdin - Pantomime (RELAXED PERFORMANCE)
