Get ready to laugh and cheer as this year’s pantomime is nearly here!

Posted on: Tuesday, September 17, 2024

Grab your magic carpet and get ready to fly into festive family fun with this year’s Palace Theatre Newark pantomime, Aladdin!

Running from Friday 6 to Tuesday 31 December, and in collaboration with Jordan Productions, families and audiences of all ages are invited to come along on this journey filled with laughter, magic, and wishes galore!

Beware! Widow Twankey, played by Phil Stewart, is on the lookout for any man in the front row, while her zany son Wishee, played by the outrageously funny Danny Childs, struggles to keep her under control. Alex Scott Fairley is all set to cause trouble as the evil Abanazar this festive season, whilst Emma Marsh is on a mission to stop the baddie as our hero, Aladdin.

Councillor Rowan Cozens, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Heritage, Culture and the Arts at Newark and Sherwood District Council, said: “Last year’s performance was a great hit, and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I cannot wait to get back into the theatre this winter for another year of pantomime fun.”

“It’s undoubtedly a must-see, and what better way to spend this holiday season than creating cherished moments with loved ones, surrounded by the enchanting atmosphere of the Palace Theatre?”

Widow Twankey wants a husband, Abanazar wants the magic lamp, Aladdin wants adventure, and Wishee-Washee wants some new Spiderman pants! Can the Genie grant all their wishes?
