About
Welcome to Scarbaresia! Land of magic!
Everyone loves magic here – magic spells, magic shows, magic shops… everyone, that is, except Aladdin. Why?
He’s rubbish at magic. Like, really, really terrible.
Which wouldn’t be a problem, except his dad – before he disappeared – was the most beloved sorcerer Scarbaresia has ever known. Aladdin works in a shop selling magical merchandise and dreaming of a better life for him and his mum.
So when a mysterious stranger shows up promising him riches, power and answers about his dad, Aladdin thinks all those dreams have come true. All the stranger wants in return is for Aladdin to go to Hairy Bob’s Cave, retrieve a lamp and bring it back.
Simple, right?
Well, it would have been… if Aladdin hadn’t rubbed the lamp…
From the team who brought you Cinderella and the UK Theatre Award-winning Beauty and the Beast (Best Show for Children and Young People 2024), expect a brand new adventure packed with silliness, thrills, spills, singalongs and fantastical family fun.

Both services are subject to a charge of £1.50 per ticket. Latecomers: Anyone arriving once the performance has begun will not be admitted until a suitable break which, on occasion, may be the interval.
