MICHAEL HURST LEADS A CAST OF
VERY EXCITED PERFORMERS WHO ARE ALL STANDING BY WITH THEIR BEST ACTING,
SINGING AND DANCING READY TO DAZZLE THE MUMS, DADS, BOYS AND GIRLS.
Join ALADDIN, the WIDOW TWANKEY,
UNCLE ADENAZER, WISHEE-WASHEE, the PRINCESS SHARON, OMAR THE SHERIFF
and several small brown and green things as we blaze like comets across
the sky of the East, bringing light, laughter and probably some hyperventilation
to families from all over the globe (but mainly Auckland!)
High end children's theatre with
all the bells and whistles, this is a wild and frenzied journey into
the land of Panto featuring a magic carpet ride, the Dragon Queen of
the Yellow Sea, mutant zombies, a genie (of course) and more innuendo
than you can shake a stick at.
(l to r) Michael Hurst, Jason Hoyte,
Anna Hewlett, Jonathan Brugh, Willy de Wit

Reviews
and Other Articles on Aladdin
(click on links below for complete articles)
New
Zealand Herald:
"Hurst's Aladdin is made by a sorcerer. It's the
sort of stuff that makes you believe that carpets can fly -
and that theatre can take you on a thrilling and magical ride."
New
Zealand Herald (article):
"(Aladdin's) energetic cast had the audience of young children
and parents screaming with laughter and excitement."
New
Zealand Herald (preview):
"Michael Hurst is on his back, waving his legs in the air
and pretending he's synchronised-swimming. The trouble is, he's
not very synchronised and his long skirt has fallen, revealing
his lily-white legs and black undies. Worse is to come."
Metro
Magazine (preview):
"Hurst has assembled a cast of top comics, to prove his
belief that children deserve the 'full-on theatricality, full-on
acting, the real deal' their parents expect."
Aladdin came
in second in the Best Play of the Year category in Metro
magazine's annual reader poll (Metro, January 2004). |
