About The Event
Show synopsis
The wicked Abanazer is seeking the magic lamp that contains the all-powerful Genie, so he can rule the world, and is just steps away from succeeding! Is all hope lost? No! Help is at hand!
A family posse of wannabe heroes is here to foil Abanazer's evil scheme. The innocent local lad Aladdin, his cheeky brother Wishee Washee and their fearsome washerwoman mother, Widow Twankey, are ready to intervene and save the day. Throw in a magic carpet, a mystical Slave of the Ring, the Emperor, a beautiful princess and a couple of inept police officers, and you have all the ingredients for a fantastic tale and great entertainment.
