Your wishes have been granted, for Aladdin is the Lyric’s 2024 panto! Soar above the streets of Hammersmith with our panto heroes Aladdin and Jasmine for an adventure you won’t forget.

Following the success of Jack and the Beanstalk in 2022, award-winning writer Sonia Jalaly and director Nicholai La Barrie join forces once again to bring us a brand new take on the story we all know and love, with added chart-topping tunes, side-splitting comedy and a fresh yet familiar Lyric twist.

The cast sees the return of Emmanuel Akwafo as the iconic Widow Twerkey and Jodie Jacobs as Genie. The duo not only starred in Sonia and Nicholai’s 2022 Jack and the Beanstalk, but also wowed the audience of West London and beyond last year in the venue’s pantomime, Cinderella.

The company is completed by Aleyna Mohanraj as Jasmine and Andrew Pepper as Abanazaar with Summer Priest, Francisco Gomes and Laura Dawn Pyatt as the ensemble. Aladdin’s final ensemble member is SPRINGBOARD participant Isaiah James-Mitchell.

The creative team for Aladdin includes: Set and Costume Design by Good Teeth; Choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento; Lighting Design by Sally Ferguson; Composition and Arrangements by Corin Buckeridge; Sound Design by Nick Manning; Musical Direction by Adam Gerber; Casting by Richard Johnston for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting; Associate Musical Director Olivia Zacharia; Assistant Director Harper K. Hefferson.
