Our ALADDIN Press and Groups Launch was SENSATIONAL!…..Oh Yes It Was!


This Christmas we shall be hosting our magnificent Family Pantomime ALADDIN starring much loved TV and Theatre Star BRIAN CAPRON as the ‘oh so evil’ Abanazar with the sensational KARIM ZEROUAL as Aladdin and full supporting cast including the hilarious SCOTT GALLAGHER as Wishee Washee.

Joining us for our annual Press and Groups Launch were BRIAN CAPRON along with some of the wonderful stars of our show who were welcomed to the stage to meet our fabulous bookers and wonderful local press

MIMI SMITHSON delighted our guests as the beautiful and elegant Princess Balroubador who will win the heart of Aladdin this Christmas, who of course is being played by KARIM ZEROUAL who is best known for anchoring CBBC as a presenter for 8 years and reaching the final of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 after which he went onto the official Strictly Come Dancing live tour.

KARIM ZEROUAL was immediately a hit with our audience with his magnificent enthusiasm and boundless energy that will WOW our audiences over the festive season.

RICHARD CHANDLER from Extravaganza Productions Ltd who have staged our spell-binding Pantomimes since The Plaza was saved in 2000 and restored to her Art Deco glory introduced all of our stars with the flare and charisma that we have grown to love in this King of Traditional Family Pantomime, went on to welcome Dame Widow Twankey to the stage played by the fabulous BARRY BENTLEY who was a colourful vision in his sensational costume which alongside his magnificent comedic personality and energy had the audience wanting more!…..

….and more was supplied with a crescendo of Boos!…..by the Villian of our Pantomime…..the one…the only….BRIAN CAPRON who it is an absolute honour to welcome back to The Plaza to play the evil uncle of Aladdin…Abanazar….

BRIAN CAPRON who our audiences absolutely love and did so during the launch with his towering presence and sensational sinister portrayal of one of Pantomimes Ultimate Villians, is a TV and Theatre actor whose career spans 54 years, during which time he has appeared in literally hundreds of plays and TV programmes from The Sweeney, Minder and Bergerac to Grange Hill, Coronation Street, Midsommer Murders and New Tricks. He is probably best known for his role as Richard Hillman in Coronation Street, the Hillman storyline winning Corrie it’s first BAFTA. Some may remember Brian as Mr Hopwood in Grange Hill (4 series) and Ozias Harding in Where the Heart Is (3 series).
