From Peter Pan to Aladdin – it’s panto-tastic

Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Beauty who becomes the prisoner of a monstrous Beast in return for


her father’s freedom, but can she tame the Beast and teach him to love, and be loved in return? Will Beauty find true love?

Aladdin Come and see if Aladdin, a poor Chinese boy, can win the heart of the beautiful princess.

Aladdin’s mum Widow Twankey has got the mixed-up Chinese laundry blues; her other son Wishee Washee is being particularly unhelpful; and they are also very poor. If only Aladdin could make his fortune and then all their dreams could come true. So add a touch of sparkle to


your festive season with this magical mix of music, comedy, adventure and pantomime fun. Filled with mystique,


stunning sets and costumes, comedy, song and dance and lots of audience participation — Aladdin guarantees another Christmas extravaganza! Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone
