A festive pantomime of Aladdin with comedy, music and audience participation at the YMCA Theatre.
Aladdin opens at the YMCA Theatre on Saturday 26 December, running through to Sunday 3 January. It's a festive pantomime that follows the familiar story: a streetwise dreamer whose life is turned upside down when he finds a mysterious lamp with extraordinary powers. With a larger-than-life Genie by his side, he sets out to win the heart of Princess Jasmine and outwit the villainous Abanazar, discovering along the way that being yourself is the greatest treasure of all.
It's a production built for the panto tradition, so you can expect comedy, music and plenty of audience participation. The whole thing is full of colour, energy and spectacle, and it's as much for the adults as it is for the younger ones, so it works whether you're taking the kids or just fancy a night out yourself.
The YMCA Theatre is part of the Scarborough YMCA complex, a 290-seat venue that keeps things relatively intimate. The run starts on Saturday 26 December with a 1:00pm matinee, and continues through to Sunday 3 January, also at 1:00pm. If you're looking for an evening show, there are 6:00pm performances on Monday 28, Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 December, and again on Saturday 2 January.
