If you’re wishing for a truly magical family panto, then your wish is our command!
Join us on a magic carpet ride across the deserts to a cave of wonders filled with treasures, including a dirty old lamp that holds a secret within.
Follow a daydreaming Aladdin as he wishes to fall in love with a beautiful princess and make his fortune. But what hope does he have as the son of a poor washerwoman?
Will Aladdin save the day from the evil magician Abanazar, who seeks to rule the world?
Will he marry his princess?
Will Widow Twankey get the laundry done?
One thing’s for sure: there’ll be plenty of panto merriment and laughter, along with everything you’ve come to expect from a Palace panto – stunning sets, musical hits, fabulous costumes, and special effects.
So, buckle up for a whirlwind ride on this high-flying adventure, packed with magic, mayhem, and mischief!
We are delighted to announce that Coronation Street and Emmerdale star, Bill Ward will be playing our panto villain, Abanazar. Bill has performed in over 30 television shows and films, and over 50 plays since turning professional in 2000. Bill also has numerous Soap Awards under his belt, so we are sure he will be an amazing booable baddie for our audience this year!
We can also announce that Simon Bashford will be our Widow Twankey this year! Simon brings to us a wealth of experience as Aladdin's long suffering mother, laundry women, Widow Twankey! Coming with a selection of his own spectacular costumes, we can't wait for him to join the Palace family to bring fun and laughter to our festive season.
