Hot on the heels of Cinderella, this year’s panto will be packed with a lamp full of laughter, stunning music and dancing, plenty of audience participation and jawdropping special effects.
Billy Pearce, who has just been awarded The Pride of Yorkshire award stars as Wishee Washee in his 20th Alhambra Theatre pantomime!
Christopher Biggins, a mainstay of entertainment for a number of decades, takes his ninth trip to Old Peking where he will take up residence in the iconic laundry and star as Widow Twankey.
Blue's Simon Webbe will play the title role of Aladdin.
Featuring a wish-granting genie, an evil sorcerer and the timeless tale of the Twankey family, Aladdin will transport you to Old Peking on an adventure of a lifetime this festive season.
With further star casting to be announced, be the first to book for this year’s must-see, genie-us Bradford panto!
Relaxed Performance – Tuesday 8 January, 6pm
We are delighted to present a specially adapted and relaxed performance of Aladdin at the Alhambra Theatre.
Relaxed Performances are specifically designed to welcome people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, learning disability or sensory and communication disorders into theatres, to give those who otherwise might feel excluded the chance to experience live theatre. We aim to create a welcoming, less formal atmosphere to help reduce anxiety levels.
Lighting and special effects will be slightly altered - for example removing strobes and flashing lights and reducing very loud noises, however the content of the show will not be specifically changed.
It is a specialist provision created to provide an opportunity for people who would otherwise find it difficult to come to see a show – for example people who make involuntary noise, or are likely to need to talk a lot, or move around. During a regular performance this can disturb the other audience members, and the show, but at a relaxed performance it’s fine. Our front of house staff are there to support and manage this behaviour, rather than stop it. We recommend you talk to our Group Sales Team as they can advise the best way to accommodate your party. Please call on 01274 437788.
