Promised treasure beyond his dreams, Aladdin sets off from the home he shares with his dad Dave Twankey and prankster pal Wishy on a mission for local wizard Abanazer. To gain his prize he must enter the not at all creepy or ominous Cave of Wonders and steal a lamp for his morally ambitious benefactor.

Aladdin Empire liverpool - Fanatastic
Saw the 2.30pm show on Saturday 4th January 2025. My daughter and I wanted to see Adam Strong as he is due to play Frank n furter in The Rocky Horror Show (he has some high heels to fill after Stephen Webb).
We were wowed and can see why The Rocky horror company have chosen him for the role.
The whole cast for Aladdin were energetic never faltered.
Adam and Yeukai made a very positive and strong impression on young downs syndrome boy we met (clutching his Genie teddy) he was explaining the show to us in the interval. Well done to all.
We saw Rocky Horror straight after at the playhouse.
Both the Empire and the Play house looked after my daughter and I, we don't live in Liverpool.. but we will definitely be back ..thank you every one ... Read more
