‘Magical weekend’ for Tortola as Aladdin Pantomime to dominate

Aladdin Pantomime will be performed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Elieene L. Parsons Auditorium
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Aladdin- The classic tale of the poor boy whose fortune would be changed with the finding of a magic lamp, would be performed all weekend long in pantomime form at the Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium, Paraquita Bay.

Entitled Aladdin, and performed by members of Limelight Productions BVI, the show would actually be held from Friday February 16, 2012 at 7 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday at the same time. There would also be a special matinee of Aladdin pantomine for children at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

According to Producer/Director of the show Paul Cowlard, the audience can expect a lot of fun as the show would involve a lot of interaction with the audience. He also said the show would be a very colourful, comical and entertaining one that would see a cross section of talent from the Virgin Islands on display.

Mr. Cowlard told Virgin Islands News Online the cast of characters, which number 20, would be involved in dancing, singing and acting and is inviting persons to bring out the entire family to have a fun filled time.

The show was never performed before but Limelight Productions BVI already did a pantomime of another classic tale Cinderella, which Mr. Cowlard said went very well.

After the show the cast of characters would also meet members of the audience and persons wishing to join the local club would be free to express their desire during that meet and greet session.

Meanwhile, tickets cost $20 for adults and $10 for children and students and are available at Infinite Solutions (4945030) and Alamanda Gallery (4946680). Limelight Productions BVI has been producing shows in the Virgin Islands since 2008. Persons wishing to become a member could email limelightbvi@gmail.com

Pantomime is a musical-comedy theatrical production traditionally found in the United Kingdom.
