Whitby’s Apollo Players will return to Whitby Pavilion Theatre this January for the company’s 55th annual pantomime.
For the upcoming festive season, The Appollo Players will present Aladdin which is being directed and musically directed by Chris Wales with choreography by Suzy Corrigan.
The story goes that Abanazar, an evil magician, has discovered the secret to becoming Master of the Universe. All he needs is an enchanted oil lamp hidden away for many years in a lost cave of treasures but only the ‘chosen one’ is allowed to set foot inside.
Meanwhile in the distant land of Shangri-La, young Aladdin lives with his brother Wishee Washee and his man-hungry mother, Widow Twankey. Aladdin dreams of marrying the beautiful Princess Jasmine but a penniless laundry boy could never hope to have the love of a royal but…could he be the chosen one?
As ever with the Appollo Players, expect toe-tapping tunes, dazzling costumes, more slapstick than you can shake laundry powder at and a show for everyone in the family aged from four to 94.
Aladdin will run from Monday January 11 to Saturday January 16 2027, each evening at 7pm, with a 2pm showing on the Saturday.
Ticket prices have been frozen from 2026 and are Monday and Tuesday tickets £8; Wednesday to Saturday tickets, £12, under 14s at £10.
Buy tickets exclusively online via Stage Stubs here from 10am today. In person and telephone bookings will be available via Whitby Pavilion soon.
