The Marlowe’s Aladdin picks up record-breaking nominations at the UK Pantomime Awards 2024

The Marlowe’s 2023/24 pantomime, Aladdin, has been nominated for a record-breaking eight awards by the UK Pantomime Association in their annual Pantomime Awards, including Best Pantomime.

Aladdin’s unprecedented haul of nominations is a record for the Pantomime Awards, and is a testament to our producing partnership with Evolution Productions. The full list of our nominations is as follows:

  • Best Pantomime (Over 900 Seats)Aladdin, The Marlowe
  • Best Dame – Ben Roddy as Dame Dolly
  • Best Script – Paul Hendy
  • Barbara Windsor Award for Best Lead – Alistair So as Aladdin
  • Carmen Silvera Award for Best Magical Being – Courtney Bowman as The Spirit of the Ring
  • Best Newcomer to Pantomime – Kevin Clifton as Ivan Tochachacha
  • Best Supporting Artist – Zain Abrahams as PC World
  • Best Contribution to Music – Chris Wong, Music Director for Aladdin

The nomination news comes just two years after The Marlowe and Evolution Productions won the UK Pantomime Award for Best Pantomime, triumphing with its 2021/22 production of Jack And The Beanstalk.

We’re delighted to have so many of our incredible cast recognised, many of whom made their pantomime debut with us in Aladdin, and to see Ben Roddy recognised again with his nomination for Best Dame – in the year Roddy celebrated his 1000th performance in the pantomime’s iconic role.

Aladdin was made possible with the support of our sponsors Southeastern and Walker Construction, who will also be sponsoring this year’s spectacular pantomime, Beauty And The Beast. Tickets are available now.
