Aladdin: A Christ’s College Pantomime (2013)
Show Info
Performed by Christ’s Amateur Dramatics Society at Christ’s College, Cambridge in December 2013.
Aladdin was Richard’s first pantomime, written specially for CADS. It was heavily inspired by the pantos of Richard’s childhood and was targeted at the students of Christ’s College and filled with way too many in-jokes.
Unbelievable sights and indescribable feelings await as Aladdin attempts to get the girl of his dreams, Princess Jasmine, and save his mother’s failing launderette business! With his brother, Wishy Washy, in tow, the two are about to be flung into a world of magical genies, evil men with talking parrots, good old fashioned musical numbers and the occasional dirty joke…
