Faster than you can say ‘Open Sesame’, we welcome this year’s spectacular pantomime – Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp!
Join us as we take off on a magic carpet ride to the mysterious and entrancing east, where we meet the hero of our story Aladdin, his clumsy brother Wishee Washee and their madcap mother Widow Twankey, who runs the local laundry. The tale unfolds when Aladdin falls in love with the beautiful Princess, whose father is the Emperor of China! Mayhem ensues, as it is death to anyone who dares to lay eyes on her! But it’s when ‘Uncle’ Abanazar entices Aladdin into the cave of jewels and he meets the Genie of the Lamp and the Slave of the Ring that the story really takes off!

Returning by public demand, we have the hilarious Mike Newman Jnr (Buttons in Cinderella) and he is supported on stage by Nick George as Widow Twankey and we are delighted to introduce Charlie Robinson as Aladdin. One of the most traditional pantomimes, we promise slap-stick comedy, melodic music, sumptuous scenery and colourful costumes - a truly enchanting experience for the whole family! Tickets are on sale now! So make your wishes come true and rub the lamp to transport yourself to The Leatherhead Theatre Box Office and book a 2008 Christmas treat to remember! Running from Monday 15 December – Saturday 3 January, tickets are available now priced at £14.00 (Concessions £11.00, Family Ticket £45.00, Special Limited Price Tickets £5.50)
