The Lee Peck Media team had a brilliant time when our client, Mayflower Theatre, launched its 2015 pantomime, Aladdin.
The panto tradition lives on with the Southampton venue famous for putting on the best pantos in the country and this year’s promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Stars Joe Pasquale and Duncan James – together with a very lifelike elephant – entertained passersby with their antics as they posed for the media promoting the panto which runs at Mayflower from Saturday December 12 to Sunday January 3.
Joe Pasquale will lead a star cast this Christmas in the role of Wishee Washee.
Well-known for being one of the hardest-working and top-selling live comedians in British comedy today, Joe has been delighting audiences for more than 20 years with his live stand-up tours and infectious sense of fun. He was stand-out personality on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity and Dancing on Ice.
Alongside Joe, playing the title role of Aladdin, is singer-songwriter, television presenter, actor and all-round entertainer Duncan James. Best-known as a member of the band Blue, which reformed in 2009 following a four-year break, Duncan has appeared in the West End in Chicago and Legally Blonde.
Aladdin is produced by Qdos Entertainment, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, who were behind last year’s production of Cinderella starring Brian Conley and Gok Wan.
This year’s production will include magical 3D projection, which will provide an up-close and personal meeting with the Genie for pantomime audience!
Managing director of Qdos Entertainment’s Pantomimes Division Michael Harrison said “Bringing together the comic genius of Joe Pasquale and the talent and voice of Duncan James will guarantee Southampton audiences another spectacular pantomime season.”
