Aladdin

Synopsis:
the first pantomime to be staged at Glasgow's SECC, Aladdin pulls out the stops to be a cornucopia of old-fashioned and modern entertainment. the 3D animation is stunning, John Barrowman is an all-singing, all-dancing, all-quipping male lead with the right amount of ironic distance, while Scottish veterans the Krankies seem delighted to be back on the west coast

Sleeping Beauty

Synopsis:
And in Aberdeen, the man who wrote that fine Citizens' show, Alan McHugh, demonstrates the sheer breadth of his understanding of the Christmas theatre tradition by donning his frilly dress and big bosom, and appearing as Nurse Nancy in Sleeping Beauty, the glorious annual panto at His Majesty's. More traditional and warm-hearted than Edinburgh, jollier than the King's in Glasgow, superbly written by McHugh with hilarious new song lyrics by Olly Ashmore, and directed by Taggart star Alex Norton, the show at His Majesty's is now probably the best traditional panto in Scotland. This year it features Elaine C Smith in the role she might have been born to play, as the truly wicked but slightly comic Carabosse, the glamorous villainess who might have been born in Torrie, but is determined to rule the world.
