Aladdin Opening Night Is Upon Us!

By Sunderland Empire on Dec 5, 08 12:40 PM

We can't believe it's arrived so quickly but TONIGHT is opening night for our mystical pantomime, Aladdin! It's been so exciting to watch out glittering, Oriental set being built. Everyone keeps catching bits of rehearsals as they walk through the auditorium and, although we don't want to spoil it for ourselves by stopping to watch, we can't help but have a sneak peak.

Some lucky children from Sandhill View School and Sunderland City Council's Every School Day Counts project are getting an exclusive preview of the panto today as they've been invited to watch the final dress rehearsal before the premiere performance tonight!

Paul Michael Glaser, who is amazing as the perfect panto baddie, already has fans waiting at the stage door for his autograph and I'm sure Sheila Ferguson and Anthony Kavanagh are going to receive tons of audience support (lots of cheering and he's behind you's I think!) as The Genie and Aladdin!

Aladdin opens at the Sunderland Empire tonight (5th December, 7pm) Altogether now..."Oh no it doesn't, Oh yes it does!"

I was at Aladdin on Tuesday night and the whole night was fantastic! From the entertainment and red carpet outside to the panto itself - we were totally amazed and definitely recommened everyone goes to see the show.
