The pantomime’s producer was overwhelmed by the response from the local performers,
“We had an incredible turn out at this year’s auditions, the standard was higher than ever. It’s almost a shame we only needed 24 dancers as I’m sure we could have cast many more from those who came along! Those who have been selected are the best of the best, they will be a real asset to the Aladdin cast.”
Aladdin runs at The Hawth Crawley from Friday 7 December 2018 to Sunday 6 January 2019.
