New Theatre Royal today announced that its 2023 pantomime, Aladdin, will be starring Chris Aukett as Widow Twankey, the feisty and funny mother of Aladdin, the hero of the story. The show will also feature an ensemble cast of talented West End performers.
You may recognise Chris from our 2021 Pantomime Cinderella, where he starred as Marjorie, one of the Ugly Step Sisters. We are so thrilled to be welcoming him back to our theatre this Christmas to play Widow Twankey in this year’s pantomime Aladdin!
Chris is well-known as a pantomime dame, as well as having starred in many productions across the UK, including Toad of Toad Hall at the London Palladium.
Aladdin is a classic tale of adventure, magic and love. It is sure to be a family-friendly treat for all ages. The production will run from 8 – 31 December 2023. Get your tickets here!
