Aladdin Jr The Musical is on its way to the Lighthouse Theatre with the latest offering from the Burdekin Singers Theatre Company set to hit the stage in the coming weeks.
Made of an entirely school age cast, Aladdin’s youngest performer is just four years old and its oldest 17.
Amaia Blakey from Burdekin Singers says she is thrilled to see the children shine and that some are making their very first performance.
“This group of children are really special, there are a lot of new faces, they love performing and have even been practicing on their breaks,” she shared.
“For us, it’s all about growing the children and encouraging them so that one day they’ll be part of our senior productions.”
Adapted for a young audience and a young cast, this interpretation of Disney’s Aladdin will include many of your favourite sing-along songs, but the overall show will be shorter.
Each half is just 30 minutes long and the audience is welcome to enjoy a light supper during the intermission, which is kindly provided by the families of the cast members.
With just 80 seats available tickets are selling fast and can be purchased by following a link on the Burdekin Singers Facebook page.
There are eight shows in total, spread out over three weeks and many cast members share roles with between 30 and 40 juniors appearing in total.
Amaia said that, with the recent upgrades, the Lighthouse Theatre offers an incredibly professional setting, and she is looking forward to welcoming the community through the doors in October.
