Enter a whole new world of pantomime with a brand-new version of Aladdin celebrating Danny and Clive’s 20th year as the stars of the Theatre Royal panto!
Michael Harrison’s retelling of the legendary story is set in the Royal Kingdom of Pantomania, where a whole host of fairytale characters come together in a pantomime for the 21st century. Wicked witches meet dancing geese, colliding with one very magical flying carpet!
Join your favourite stars as they embark on an adventure to find the magical lamp and see good triumph over evil, as only pantomime can.
Chris Hayward once again dons the Dame’s frocks as Aladdin’s mum, Mother Goose, Joe McElderry returns as The Spirit of the Ring and Mick Potts joins the cast once again, this time as The Genie of the Lamp. Tyneside favourite Wayne Smith returns as Old King Cole, alongside West-End stars Rachel Stanley as The Wicked Witch and Billie-Kay as Princess Jemima. This is Aladdin as you’ve never seen it before – with a Tyneside twist!
With brand-new sets and costumes designed especially for the Theatre Royal, Aladdin promises to be a Genie-us of a pantomime.

This is a family show with bangs and flashes, a couple of scary moments, a bit of panto innuendo (never intended to offend) – and some very old jokes!
