Barrowman returns to his native Glasgow on a magic carpet

Television, film and stage star John Barrowman is to return to his native Glasgow next year when he heads the cast of the spectacular pantomime Aladdin.

The show’s producers, Qdos Entertainment, have announced that tickets are now on sale for the pantomime, one year in advance of its opening night on Friday 10 December 2010. Aladdin marks John’s fifth pantomime season with Qdos - the largest pantomime producer in the world.

“I’m really looking forward to spending the holidays singing, dancing and having a good laugh in Glasgow next year!” says John Barrowman. “I love playing Aladdin and I think audiences will love everything about this amazing pantomime, especially the amazing 3D effects,” John added.

“We are delighted to be bringing John and our superb production of Aladdin to Glasgow’s SECC,” says Michael Harrison, Managing Director of Qdos Entertainment’s pantomime division. “John has smashed box office records wherever he has played in pantomime and I have no doubt that we will break even more records in Glasgow and stage an unmissable pantomime experience.”

Aladdin has all of the traditional elements of pantomime but with the added surprise of an array of 3D special effects. Wearing 3D glasses at certain points throughout the show the audience can rub the magic lamp as it appears in front of their nose, summon the magical 3D Genie from his lamp and join Aladdin on a superb magic carpet ride!

Aladdin runs at the SECC’s Clyde Auditorium from Friday 10 December 2010 to Sunday 9 January 2011. Tickets, priced from £12.00 can be booked on 0844 395 4000 or online.
