Aladdin & His Magic Lamp
Written by Andy Bradshaw
Directed by Alex Wilson
CHARACTERS AND AUDITION MATERIAL
ABANAZER
Typical over the top Panto Villain. Cunning, scheming and cruel... but a little bit gullible. Abanazer is melodramatic and would not look out of place in a Shakespearean drama.
-
Non-singing role
-
Playing age: 40+
WIDOW TWANKEY
The pantomime dame. She runs the Imperial Laundry with her two sons and is a bit of a man-eater. Comedy role with lots of frocks and slapstick humour.

ALADDIN
Typical boy about town who is good natured and means well. His gang are a version of the teenagers who hang outside Tescos in Penarth.

Strong singer

Comedy role that emulates Nessa from Gavin and Stacey. Think traditional Genie costume but black leather.

​​
TIK & TOK
Influencers created by the Slave of the Ring to help Abanazer promote his image to impress Princess Jasmine. They are bubbling with self confidence, dress outrageously and will take any opportunity to boost their followers... by means fair or foul.
