Aladdin

This is a great adventure story where Aladdin, a poor laundry boy, falls in love with The Emperor’s daughter, but to win her hand has to become rich. Aladdin becomes involved with Abanazar, the evil sorcerer, and together they seek out the magic lamp. Finally, after many twists and turns good prevails, and all ends happily. On the way there are many opportunities for exotic settings as the story moves from Ancient China to Africa and, of course, the Magic Cave of The Jewels. The comedy is carried by the outrageous Widow Twankey, and her stupid son Wishee Washee. There is much knock-about and verbal humour, loads of audience participation, and several set-piece comic routines.
