Everyman Theatre's Aladdin Panto Cast Revealed

The Everyman Theatre Announces Aladdin Cast, Featuring Returning Audience Favourites
Opens Friday 29th November | Until Sunday 12th January 2025
The Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham is delighted to announce the cast for Gloucestershire’s biggest pantomime, Aladdin, running from Friday 29th November through Sunday 12th January 2025.
This family-friendly festive favourite promises a magical adventure filled with laughter, audience participation, and dazzling performances by an outstanding cast.
Gloucestershire’s beloved clown, Tweedy, returns as the comical Tweedy Twankey after touring with Tweedy’s Massive Circus. The local icon will once again captivate audiences with his signature humour and charm.
Also returning is Kevin Brewis as the dame, Widow Twankey. A Cheltenham favourite, Brewis has starred in four previous pantomimes, including Jack and the Beanstalk and Dick Whittington. Fresh from performing in Hello Dolly! at the London Palladium alongside Imelda Staunton, and from the UK & Ireland tour of 42nd Street, Brewis brings unparalleled experience and flair to the role.
The villainous Abanazar will be portrayed by Miles Western (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Phantom of the Opera), who is no stranger to the Everyman stage, having performed the role of Abanazar in theatres across the UK. Joining him is Jessica Martin (Doctor Who, Spitting Image), returning after her fantastic portrayal of Demon Vanity in last year’s Mother Goose—this time as the Spirit of the Ring.
Luke Suri, known for his portrayal of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys in London’s West End, will play the title role of Aladdin. Meanwhile, Samira Mighty (Love Island, Dreamgirls) will bring her stage and television experience to the role of Princess Jasmine.
Aladdin is written, choreographed, and directed by the dynamic duo Samuel Holmes and Nick Winston, who have entertained Gloucestershire audiences with their playful takes on pantomime classics for six years. Holmes will also appear as the Genie of the Lamp via video, adding an extra layer of magic.
The ensemble includes Joshua Clayton, Leela Kapil, Marina Lawrence-Mahrra, Hollie-Ann Lowe, Tina Skrzypiec, and Edward Turner.
The production boasts an award-winning creative team, featuring Costume Designer Ryan Dawson Laight, Set and Lighting Designer Andrew Exeter, Musical Director Alex Bellamy, and Sound Designer Ben Harrison. With stunning sets, fabulous costumes, and a sensational lineup of songs and dance numbers, Aladdin promises to be the biggest and best pantomime yet.
Mark Goucher, CEO of the Everyman Theatre, expressed his excitement for the production, “We’re thrilled to welcome such a talented cast to Cheltenham for what is sure to be a truly magical pantomime season. With Tweedy, Kevin Brewis, and fan favourites like Jessica Martin and Miles Western, this is a show not to be missed!”
This year’s pantomime supports Cheltenham Open Door, a local charity providing services for vulnerable and disadvantaged people. The Everyman Theatre is proud to give back to the community during the festive season.
Rehearsals for Aladdin commence on 11th November, when the full cast and creative team come together in Cheltenham. With a magic lamp, a flying carpet, and plenty of festive fun, Aladdin is set to be the must-see pantomime in Gloucestershire. Secure your tickets now for a magical adventure at the Everyman Theatre!
Tickets are available from The Everyman Theatre’s website or by calling the Box Office on 01242 572 573.
