It's almost panto time again at Malvern Theatres.

Oh yes it is!

And the offering this year will be Aladdin!

Expect a lamp to two, expect spells and treasure and even a familiar face from Only Fools and Horses. It'll be so much fun, for young and old alike, you'll never say that panto is 'behind you'.

And thanks to modern technology, the flying carpet is set to be simply amazing.

A spokesman said: "Join us at Malvern Theatres for a spellbinding adventure at the spectacular family pantomime Aladdin! Starring the legendary John Challis from Only Fools and Horses as the evil Abanazar and Malvern’s favourite funny man, Mark James, as the loveable Wishee Washee!

"And let's not forget Jamie Steen as Widow Twankey, Aaron Jenson as Aladdin and Danny Rogers as PC Pong!

"Loula Geater joins the cast as the sparkling Spirit of the Ring, Jacob Morris plays The Genie, Joely Barbour as Princess Jasmine and Gary Davis as The Emperor."

The spokesman added: "Follow Aladdin, his brother Wishee Washee, and of course his mother Widow Twankey, on a spectacular adventure.

Expect flying carpets, a wish-granting genie, an evil sorcerer and a lamp-full of laughs, so book your magic carpet ride to Malvern to the magical pantomime Aladdin!...

"And don’t miss a photo opportunity with the hilarious Mark James in the foyer after every performance

"Aladdin features all of the ingredients of the perfect pantomime; audience participation, laugh-out-loud comedy, lavish sets, glittering costumes and a spectacular CGI flying carpet sequence."

The pantomime is once again produced by UK Productions Ltd.

Aladdin will be on stage at Malvern Theatres from Thursday December 12 to Sunday January 5.
