Hop onto the Back to Ours magic carpet and fly straight into the magical world of Aladdin, where a beautiful love story, flying carpets, a wish-granting genie, an evil sorcerer, and a certain magic lamp await…

There’s nothing like a pantomime to get people in the festive spirit, so Back to Ours have teamed up with State of the Arts Academy to bring Aladdin to people’s doorsteps and give communities a festive treat. 

Written by Jon Parker and Mark Fairweather, and produced by State of the Arts, Aladdin features every ingredient for the perfect evening – a fabulous cast, music, laugh-out-loud comedy, beautiful costumes, and LOADS of boos and hisses.

Appearing at four venues across the city – St Michael’s Church, Thornton Village Hall, North Bransholme Community Centre and Derringham Bank Church – tickets are now down to the last few after huge interest.  

Community Engagement Manager Tony Forrester said; 

‘We work closely with communities all year, so we really wanted to bring Aladdin to these amazing community spaces as a thank you for their continued input and support. 

‘Back to Ours is about giving families a good night out at affordable prices, and who doesn’t love a good panto to get you in the Christmas spirit? If that doesn’t warm your cockles, we’re even offering a free Mr Moo’s ice cream when you get there.’ 

Director Louise Yates continued: 

‘You all know the Back to Ours ethos – we’re all about putting great events in venues in the hearts of communities with a lot of sparkle and a big dose of the unexpected. 

‘We’re chuffed that tickets have gone so quickly – it’s going to be a cracking show.’ 

Aladdin will be showing on the following dates: 

Monday December 10 – Michaels & All Saints Church Hall (Orchard Park Road)

Tuesday December 11 – Thornton Village Hall (opposite the Octagon on Walker Street)

Wednesday December 12 – North Bransholme Community Centre
