All your wishes shall be granted this Christmas as Cambridge Arts Theatre’s spectacular family pantomime Aladdin flies into town on a magical carpet ride. Aladdin longs for riches, good fortune and his one true love while stuck working in Widow Twankey’s launderette. But when the dastardly Abanazar lures him into the depths of a deep dark cave, Aladdin’s life is turned upside down! With the Genie by his side and the magic lamp in his pocket, Aladdin finds himself on the adventure of a lifetime. But Abanazar has other plans… can Aladdin defeat him and win the hand of the Princess, or will he be back in the launderette before you can say “open sesame”? The incredible cast includes West End actor Rachel Lumberg (East is East, Calendar Girls), BBC One's Our Girl star Rolan Bell and the return of Cambridge's #1 dame Matt Crosby. Joining them will be Isaac Stanmore (Hetty Feather), Carl Au (Waterloo Road), Aiesha Pease (Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Jak Allen-Anderson (Kinky Boots) and Megan-Hollie Robertson (Annie, South Pacific). This enchanting tale is brimming with singalong songs, sparkling costumes and side-splitting jokes for the whole family to enjoy. Christmas in Cambridge just wouldn’t be complete without the Arts Theatre pantomime and Aladdin promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Book today… Your wish is our command!

*Tap dancing, War Child, Barcelona, Cambridge, Local Bands & a Motorhome come together for a special fundraising show in Cambridge on Friday the 3rd December* On Friday the 3rd of December, Live Music in Cambridge takes an interesting turn with a fundraising show at The Blue Moon arranged by original top act and musical culture clash from Barcelona ‘Kid Hyena’.

Founded in 1995, War Child protects, educates and stands up for the rights of children affected by war. They aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out, and stay on to support them—long after the TV cameras have gone home. A key component of War Child’s work is to campaign on the root causes of conflict, and demand that children are at the centre of all humanitarian responses. For this UK tour the Barcelona act will donate 25% percent of gig proceeds & monies raised through the bands own independent label ‘Planet Road Records’ to War Child. For this special night at the Blue Moon 100% of door donations are going to the charity. Since arriving in the UK organisers 'Kid Hyena' have been featured on amongst others BBC introducing & BBC Essex and their show is sure to get you singing and stompin' along, warming your heart as we enter the winter months.
