It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and for most families the most wonderful tradition is to enjoy a pantomime together – oh yes it is!

The Waterside’s annual offering has fast become a ‘must-do’ in the Christmas calendar with panto lovers young and old(er!) enjoying 2 hours of pure escapism. This year’s production is set to be no exception as festive wishes are ready to be granted when Aladdin comes to town from Fri 2 Dec 2022 – Mon 2 Jan 2023.

Every pantomime thrives on a dastardly villain, and Davood Ghadami (EastEnders and Holby City) is putting on the baddie boots this year to play the evil Abanazar. He is in good company with two of Bucks’ favourites – funnyman Andy Collins (BBC 3 Counties Breakfast Show) playing the loveable Wishee Washee, and glamorous redhead La Voix (Britain’s Got Talent) playing Widow Twankey, the most sparkliest panto ‘mum’ with a powerhouse voice that will bring the cave down!

Aladdin tells the magical story of good prevailing over evil – but it takes an action-packed adventure and a swooning love story to get there! See Aladdin meet Princess Jasmine, have your ribs tickled by the mother and son duo of Widow Twankey and Wishee Washee, and get ready to see how much fun can be had when you rub the magic lamp!

The Waterside also has a smaller studio space that will be playing Santa’s Magical Gift from 14 – 24 Dec. Perfect for ages 3+ this heart-warming festive story includes audience participation, energetic comedy routines and a free present for every child from Santa!
