ALADDIN ANNOUNCED AS THE LYRIC HAMMERSMITH THEATRE’S 2024 PANTOMIME

The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre today is delighted to announce Aladdin as its pantomime for 2024, written by Sonia Jalaly, directed by Lyric Associate Director Nicholai La Barrie, and playing in the Main House from Saturday 16 November 2024 – Sunday 05 January 2025 with early bird booking of 30% off available now.

Following the critically-acclaimed Jack and the Beanstalk in 2022, award-winning writer Sonia Jalaly and director Nicholai La Barrie join forces once again and bring a brand new take on the magical fairy tale of Aladdin, continuing the Lyric’s long history of bringing some of the finest and most entertaining pantomimes to London.

Sonia Jalaly, Writer, said: “I cannot wait to bring an all-singing, all-dancing, all-Daming, magic carpet ride of a party to Hammersmith with the wonderful Nicholai La Barrie. Am I going to pass out from excitement? Probably.”

Nicholai La Barrie, Director, said: “Aladdin will be an outrageously funny and joyous fairy tale with a big heart at the centre of its story, bringing festive magic to our West London audiences and beyond. I am thrilled to work alongside Sonia Jalaly again to bring this incredible pantomime full of laughter, pop tunes, and feel-good vibes to life and hope this will be an unforgettable theatre experience for all families to cherish.”

Also announced, is the return of family-favourite Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas, the critically acclaimed production adapted by Pins and Needles, playing in the Studio from Wednesday 20 November – Saturday 28 December 2024. Directed by Emma Earle, the production is filled with live music and puppetry and is perfect for under 6-year-olds and their families. Since being published in 1973, the late Raymond Briggs’ much-loved children’s book has been adapted for stage and screen and has now entertained thousands of families at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre for the last 13 years.
