Pantomime

Aladdin

Join us for a spectacular family pantomime! Cbeebies and CBBC superstar, Evie Pickerill, will bring her sparkle and flair as Spirit of the Ring! York favourite, Robin Simpson (Dame Trott in Jack and the Beanstalk, Mrs Smee in All New Adventures of Peter Pan and Manky in Cinderella) will be returning for another sensational show. Paul Hawkyard (Captain Hook in All New Adventures of Peter Pan and Mardy in Cinderella) will be back for his third pantomime at YTR as the villainous Ivan Tobebooed!

Once again our panto will be written by Paul Hendy and directed by Juliet Forster – the same fantastic team who brought you the GIANT Jack and the Beanstalk. With lavish sets, joyous comedy and spellbinding special effects, Aladdin promises to be our most magical pantomime ever!
