Our GENIE-US pantomime for 2026-27

Aladdin

Everything you could wish for!

Following the huge success of Sleeping Beauty 2025-26, we are back this festive season with the GENIE-US tale of Aladdin!

Basildon favourites Sophie Ladds and Ian Hallard will be returning as the evil Abanazar and fabulous Widow Twankey!

From cheeky comedy and slapstick mayhem to showstopping numbers and magical moments, it’s the perfect seasonal treat for kids, grandparents and everyone inbetween! Our traditional pantos blend old-school charm with contemporary sparkle, making memories without breaking the bank.

Our award-winning, critically-acclaimed pantomimes are the jewel in the crown of Essex – we’re renowned for our stunning scenery, colourful costumes, dazzling dancers and a fantastic live band at every performance. Each show is a non-stop, musical spectacular that is not to be missed!
