The amazing story of a boy, a lamp and a genie, Aladdin is the most popular of all recent pantomimes at the Theatre Royal Bath and returns to spread magic across the region this Christmas. RICKY GROVES, best known for his long-running role as cheeky mechanic Garry Hobbs in EastEnders and for his dance-floor prowess in Strictly Come Dancing 2009 may be the most lovable baddie ever! See if you can force yourself to boo him when he transforms into the evil Abanazar.
The ultimate Panto Dame, CHRIS HARRIS returns to play the magnificent Widow Twankey; beautiful GEMMA HUNT from CBBC is on lamp-rubbing duties as Aladdin and the hilarious JON MONIE is Wishee Washee.
This traditional family extravaganz is accompanied by some dazzling special effects, and the dancers from the Dorothy Coleborn School of Dance.

“Chris Harris and Jon Monie bring comic capers galore to the stage…this is a panto to be proud of” – Gloucestershire Gazette
