Written by Fraser Boyle, co-writer of The Gaiety’s 5-star panto hits Mother Goose (2024) and Cinderella (2023).

Less the Far East, more the very, very far East of Ayrshire, the Ancient McMinger Dynasty rule the land from their seat of power in Old New Cumnock Town. Aladdie’s adventures catapult him into deep trouble he can’t get out of alone – thank goodness then for family – and an Ayrshire family at that!

Will Aladdie ever win the hand of Princess Destiny? Will Abanazar rule the land as the greatest Magician the world has ever known? And will Widow Twunkey ever manage to scrub the Royal Smalls to Empress Oonagh McMinger’s most exacting standards?

Magic, mayhem, mischief and even Maybole abound in this re-telling of an old tale – this isn’t Aladdin. It’s Aladdie!

**Further dates to be announced – full performance schedule available January 2025.
