Our traditional pantomime will be Aladdin by Tom Whalley performed 6th-8th and 12th-15th December 2024 at Théâtre de Marens, Nyon.
OVERVIEW 
Abanazar, an evil magician, has discovered the secret to becoming Master of the Universe. All he needs is an enchanted oil lamp hidden away for many years in a lost cave of treasures but only the 'chosen one' is allowed to set foot inside.
Meanwhile in the distant land of Marrakech, young Aladdin lives with his brother Wishee Washee and his man-hungry mother, Widow Twankey. Aladdin dreams of marrying the beautiful Princess Jasmine but a penniless laundry boy could never hope to have the love of a royal but...could he be the chosen one?
Abanazar, un sorcier maléfique, a découvert le secret pour devenir le Maître de l'Univers. Tout ce dont il a besoin, c'est une lampe à huile enchantée, cachée depuis de nombreuses années dans une cave aux trésors secrète, mais seul "l'élu" est autorisé à y pénétrer.
Pendant ce temps, dans la lointaine contrée de Marrakech, le jeune Aladdin vit avec son frère Wishee Washee et sa mère, la veuve Twankey, qui recherche désespérément un mari. Aladdin rêve d'épouser la belle princesse Jasmine, mais un jeune blanchisseur sans le sou ne pourra jamais prétendre à l'amour d'une princesse… Et s'il était “l’élu”, qu’en serait-il?
