Description

Nottingham Evening Post Review of Aladdin, the Theatre Royal Pantomime for 2001.

What's the story?

An extremely positive and enthusiastic review of Aladdin by Nottingham Evening Post reviewer Liz Cartwright.
Praise is doled out for most of the cast, but particular attention is made to the “truly hilarious” Cannon & Ball … “They were real clowns and utterly born for pantomime”
The review also conveys the magic of seeing a Pantomime at the Theatre Royal …
“The children found the twinkling stars mesmerising as they shone on the theatre walls and ceiling …A really good night, a really great panto.”
This 2001 production of Aladdin starred comedians Cannon & Ball, alongside Tricia Penrose, Maurice Thorogood, Peter Piper, Fiona Wade, Michael Sharvell-Martin and Sooty.
