Martin Dodd for UK Productions presents ALADDIN Malvern Theatres’ spectacular family pantomime Aladdin stars Coronation Street’s Tristan Gemmill as the wicked Abanazar , returning favourite Mark James for his ninth sensational Malvern pantomime season, Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Bunny Galore as Widow Twankey, and musical sensation Sev Keoshgerian ( I Wish My Life Were Like a Musical and the European tour of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show ) as Aladdin . Leading the adventure is Tristan Gemmill as the wonderfully wicked Abanazar. Best known to millions as Robert Preston in Coronation Street , Tristan’s extensive television credits also include Casualty , London’s Burning , The Bill and The Case . Following his memorable appearance in Malvern’s Peter Pan , he returns ready to revel in the boos and bring a deliciously dastardly villain to the Festival Theatre stage. Back by popular demand is returning favourite Mark James , appearing in his ninth Malvern pantomime season following the success of last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk . With his effortless warmth, razor-sharp wit and brilliantly unpredictable comedy, Mark has become a much-loved part of Christmas at Malvern. If you have seen him before, you will know exactly why audiences welcome him back year after year. If you haven’t, this is the perfect time to discover what you have been missing. Joining them is Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Bunny Galore as the gloriously larger-than-life Widow Twankey, bringing fabulous frocks, warmth, wit and 27 years of pantomime experience to one of the genre’s best-loved roles. Bunny first came to national attention as part of Dame Nation on the 2022 series of Britain’s Got Talent , reaching the live semi-finals. She is also the host of cult horror show Bunny Galore’s Movie Nightmares and has appeared on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky TV. Expect bags of energy, brilliant comedy and a Widow Twankey who will make sure Christmas at Malvern is anything but ordinary. Completing this fabulous line-up is musical sensation Sev Keoshgerian as Aladdin. Sev has won acclaim for his performance in I Wish My Life Were Like a Musical and appeared in the European tour of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show . Now he is ready to take Malvern audiences on an extraordinary adventure filled with courage, romance and a little help from one very magical lamp. For generations of families, Christmas at Malvern Theatres has meant pantomime. It is the excitement of taking your seats, the hush before the curtain rises and the unforgettable moment an entire auditorium comes alive together. Children experience the magic of live theatre – often for the very first time – while parents and grandparents laugh, cheer and cheer and make new memories alongside them. This is more than a show. It is a chance to switch off from everything else, be gloriously silly together and leave the theatre feeling brighter than when you arrived. Whether really could come true this Christmas!
