Aladdin

Aladdin at Manchester Opera House

Why see Aladdin?

ROLL OUT THE MAGIC CARPET...

Everyone's favourite street scamp Aladdin heads to the Manchester Opera House once again this Christmas for a pantomime extravaganza. Starring vocal powerhouse Alexandra Burke, Ceri Dupree, Ben Nickless and Matthew Croke! Don't miss this impressive telling of the classic (and hilarious) tale, with stunning sets, song and dance numbers, a live band, and of course, a lamp-load of audience participation!

Wait, what happens in Aladdin?

Aladdin and his mum, the larger-than-life laundress Widow Twanky, live in poverty, not helped by Aladdin's work-shy attitude to the daily grind. When nefarious local villain Abanazar offers the lad a magic ring in return for a favour, he accepts, excited for an adventure. Heading into the spooky Cave of Wonders to collect a lamp for Abanazar, he soon realises that perhaps his benefactor's motives are a bit evil. Trapped in the cave, he rubs his hands together in frustration, inadvertently summoning the inhabitant inside his ring, only a ruddy Genie! Now granted three wishes, can Aladdin escape the cave and get his revenge on Abanazar? What about that Princess Jasmine he wants to get off with? Head on down to find out!

TRULY A MUST-SEE

Just wow! saw this performance last night with my nan and sister and we were all absolutely blown away, not one single fault from every single cast member! I laughed, cried and was in pure awe of everything from the costumes, the dancing and of course the voices, Genie really stole the show the way they truly personified the character was utterly astounding! ...

Overall very good, room to mature.

I attended opening night last night. Genie was brilliant, Aladdin very good, as was Iago, Jafar's assistant. Aladdin was very good, Princess was good. First 15 minutes the volume was too low, you couldn't hear the characters, then it improved, but the volume still needs to be increased. First 30 minutes or so it just didn't 'gel' or flow cleanly, a second's pause between each inter action, this will improve I'm sure, but once 'You ain't never had a friend like me' number exploded upon you spectacularly, all was saved, was brilliant from there on in. A great night, but 4 stars, room to develop I think. Palace theatre-at £4.95 for an ice cream the size of a teaspoon you really are taking the mickey!!! ... Read more
