The Christmas pantomime, one of the great cornerstones of life and nowhere in the world really captures the point or the reason of it as much as the British, it takes sheer guts to perform so many shows to an audience to whom many are arguably having their first taste of theatre, of the slapstick fun that is at times extraordinarily paced and presented and the fun that goes with it. It is the possibly the finest of traditions and Aladdin at the Epstein Theatre is no different and one that is all too enjoyable, no matter the age of the person in the seat.
Are you a budding young female or male dancer with bags of talent? Have you ever wished you could dance on a professional stage amongst the stars?

For Sarah A. Nixon and Mark Chatterton, the writers of the Playhouse Theatre Rock ‘N’ Roll Panto, the subject of Aladdin is one that they have revisited with pride a couple of times but never like this, not with the scale, the almost sense of the wonderful and wonderment all wrapped up in a festive feast that was exactly the production and performance that audiences could have wished for.
The creative world of Liverpool never stops and for the team at the Playhouse Theatre as one season ends, the preparations are well under way for the Autumn/Winter season to begin in earnest.
Following a season of work that has transferred to London and toured the U.K., including The Misanthrope, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg and The Match Box, The Playhouse leads on world premieres and creative collaborations this autumn.
Get ready to be whisked away on the magic carpet ride of a lifetime as the Everyman and Playhouse announce the family favourite, the rock and roll panto, will be making its return to the Liverpool Playhouse this Christmas with Aladdin from Friday 29th November 2013 to Saturday 18th January 2014.
So dust off your spandex party pants and break out the glitter as the legendary rock ‘n’ roll panto will shake, rattle and roll at the Playhouse once more this year. Audience favourites Adam Keast and Francis Tucker will once again bring their legendary double-act to the stage thrill and soak the crowd in equal measure!

For the second year running the Empire Theatre pulled off a masterstroke of casting and persuaded one of the Hollywood glitterati to be the main draw at their Christmas spectacular pantomime. Last year, Liverpool was treated to the sight of Henry Winkler playing Captain Hook to great acclaim; this year treading the boards of the Empire was Baywatch star Pamela Anderson in the wonderful story of Aladdin.
