In a change to usual tradition, and in what New Wimbledon Theatre believes to be a first in Pantomime history, the role of the Genie of the Lamp will be played by four celebrity guest stars.

Best known for her role as CJ Parker in ‘Baywatch’, and one of the most photographed women in the world, Pamela Anderson will be playing the role of the Genie of the Lamp for two weeks only from 13 - 27 December.

Bringing a whole new take on the same role will be comedian and chat show host king Paul O'Grady who will be playing the role in the New Year from 5 - 10 January, in a triumphant return to Pantoland having not appeared in one since 2005.

Ruby Wax, who previously interviewed fellow genie Anderson for her candid 'Ruby Wax Meets' series of celebrity interviews, will play the magical lamp-dweller from 4 to 12 December

They will be supported by a core cast which is headed by renowned actor, author and adventurer Brian Blessed who will be doing all he can to stop their magical intentions by playing the evil Abanazar – the ultimate villain determined to outsmart our hero.

Further casting announcements will be made soon.
