The much loved story of Aladdin, and his mother Widow Twankey who runs a laundry in an Eastern country ruled by a Sultan and his beautiful daughter, Jasmin.

Aladdin is tricked by the wicked Abanazar into fetching a magic lamp from a cave filled with gold and jewels. In the lamp lives the genie who has the power to do whatever the owner of the lamp commands.

Aladdin falls in love with the beautiful Jasmin, which causes problems since even to gaze on her face results in being condemned to death.

But with no help at all from pantomime dame, Widow Twankey, her laundry assistants (identical twins Hanky and Panky), the Grand Vizier, and a sometimes grumpy Genie , Aladdin eventually outsmarts the evil doer and finds love with Jasmin.

Once more the team that brought you Cinderella combine to produce a musical, magical and spectacular evening that will have all generations entertained throughout and laughing long after the show has finished.
