Aladdin

Written by Andy Smith 

Step into the dazzling world of mystical Persia with this amazingly funny Aladdin panto script, one of our more traditional-style pantomimes. This laugh-out-loud script is packed with all the ingredients needed for a first-class production of the beloved rags-to-riches story. The plot follows the cunning magician Abanazar and his hapless sidekick, Keith the Thief, as they uncover the secret to ultimate power: a magical lamp hidden in the Cave of a Thousand Treasures. Their plan? To trick the "Chosen One" into retrieving it for them. Meanwhile, young Aladdin dreams of a life beyond his humble beginnings and dares to imagine winning the heart of the beautiful Princess Layla. But could a penniless dreamer ever capture the love of the Sultan Sultana’s daughter? Bursting with side-splitting comedy from the flamboyant Widow Twankey and the ever-silly Wishy Washy, this modern Aladdin panto script guarantees plenty of audience participation, slapstick chaos, and traditional pantomime fun.

The Aladdin Panto script was amazing! Just the right amount of humour and play on words and moments to be physical and to adlib to make it an enjoyable experience. Using this with the ages of 11-16year olds they all understood the language and it was easy as a director to explain the delivery. Each character was well thought out and I loved the modern twist that we were able to deliver and the great use and array of song choices to match. We have thoroughly enjoyed working on this piece and hope to use more of your work in the future."
