Hackney Empire is back with its annual panto for Christmas and this year, the theatre is staging a production of Aladdin. Panto royalty Clive Rowe will direct the production and star as Window Twankey, alongside Kat B as the Genie, and Fred Double as Aladdin. OTT costumes, big song and dance numbers, and that all-important audience participation, what more could you want from a panto?
