ALADDIN AT THE
EM Forster Theatre
LAUGH OUT LOUD JOKES, FABULOUS COSTUMES, MAGICAL SPECIAL
EFFECTS, A ‘BAZAAR’ AIRBORNE GENIE, SING-ALONG SONGS AND
AN ASTONISHING FLYING CARPET ALL FEATURE IN THIS YEAR’S
SPECTACULAR FAMILY PANTOMIME ALADDIN AT THE EM FORSTER
THEATRE, TONBRIDGE.
Aladdin is presented by leading theatre and
pantomime production company, Wicked
Productions, the company behind the smash
hit sell out pantomimes at the Royal Victoria
Hall in Southborough for many years, and last
years’ production of The Wizard of Oz at the
EM Forster Theatre.
This is the second year that the EM Forster
Theatre has staged a professional pantomime,
and following the fantastic Wizard of Oz last
year with 17 sell-out performances, this year
the run has been extended to 27 performances
across two weeks.
Aladdin stars Michael Fenton Stevens, well
known from ITV’s Benidorm as Widow
Twankey, local favourite Tom Swift as the
hilarious Wishee Washee, the sensational
Amanda Swift as the Genie of the Lamp and
back by popular demand Edwin Wright as the
Evil Abanazar.
Audiences will be taken on a magical carpet
ride to the Far East this festive season, with
the most opulent and eye-catching
pantomime Tonbridge has ever seen!
Big song and dance numbers, slapstick, crazy
jokes, audience participation and lashings of
traditional panto magic combine to make this
the most ‘GENIE-US’ unmissable, family,
festive pantomime! Rub your lamp, and make
a wish…
