A classic pantomime is set to light up the Powys stage this month.
Llandrindod Wells' Albert Hall Theatre will play host to Aladdin, the town’s 2026 pantomime, running from January 23 to 25 and promising a lively mix of music, comedy and family entertainment.
Written by Warren McWilliams and directed by Keith Davies, the production marks Mr Davies’ return as director and producer after a six-year break from pantomime.
Emma Davies leads the cast as the principal boy, while Gareth Jones steps into the role of the villainous Abanazar and Kieran Davies takes on the dame, Widow Twankey.
Aladdin is very much a family affair, with relatives appearing across the cast, in the chorus, and supporting backstage.
This sense of community involvement extends behind the curtain as well.
Dave Morgan leads the backstage team as stage manager, overseeing a crew of nine to help ensure the show runs smoothly.
Music will be performed live by a four-piece band led by Suzanne Kendrick and under the musical direction of Zoë Evans.
Choreographer Jemma Thomas brings energetic dance routines to the stage.
Audiences are being promised a visual feast thanks to an array of colourful costumes designed and made by Mandy Davies, assisted by Rose McGrandle.
Their designs promise to bring "an extra layer of magic" to the production.
