Event Navigation
Our first family theatre show of 2023 – and our 23rd since we started at Sydenham Centre – is a brand new, musical version of the beloved Arabian nights tale ALADDIN! As always, with Spontaneous, expect a bit of a twist…young Aladdin dreams of a life of lazing around, maybe kicking a ball now and again, and one day being rich and marrying a Princess. So when the malicious magician Abanazar promises him a ‘get rich quick’ scheme, how can he resist? But when he finds himself trapped in a cave with only a dusty lamp for company, what’s a poor boy to do?
Featuring original songs and music by Paul Tornbohm, video effects and animation by Joe Kaufman of Red Kite Films and costumes by Jackie Poulett, expect a highly original musical show from the makers of Tales of Beatrix Potter, Rapunzel, and last December’s The Blues Brothers Grimm. With lots of surprises, mystery, mayhem and a magical flying carpet for good measure, this will be an unmissable event this Spring!
After her debut as Princess Yasmeena in Sinbad the Sailor in 2021 we’re delighted that Valentina Pakou is returning – in the dual role of Aladdin’s Mother and the Princess – as well as choreographing the dance routines, plus Spontaneous favourite Paul-D Stephenson (last seen as Prince Baraka in Rapunzel, and The Gingerbread Man, Sinbad the Sailor) as the malign magician Abanazar. Then making a very special appearance on video is Spontaneous regular William Hastings as the Genie! Last but not least, Jyo Miarkali makes her Spontaneous debut as that lazy scamp Aladdin himself!
