West Wing Arts Centre

Aladdin

December 2007/January 2008

Directed by Lucy Bradley

Based on the original story of a street beggar boy who finds a magic lamp that can grant him three wishes. The West Wing's first professional pantomime was a bewitching adventure of untold wealth, a beautiful princess and the strength to defeat an evil sorcerer. A cast of nine strong actors and live band enthralled, excited and entertained audiences!

Press quotes: 

“A non-stop rollercoaster of funny gags, colourful costumes and mesmerising music. Go and see it!” Slough Observer

“This lively fun packed show entertained both adults and children.” Maidenhead Advertiser

"Slough’s first professional pantomime in 25 years does not follow the usual panto rules, but definitely ticks all the right boxes in terms of comedy and farcical behaviour." Slough Express

Audience quotes:

"A really excellent family show – good singing, good band and good acting. First class lighting. Congratulations!"

"Excellent show from the jokes, singing, entertainment and I was in stitches with the monkey." 

"Love it – we hope it’s back next year. Loved the genie!"
