Anthem Productions are proud to present the star studded Cheerios Panto Aladdin at the Tivoli Theatre from Tuesday 13 December. A hilarious, festive fun family treat not to be missed.

NADIA FORDE (I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here) will return from Japan to take on her first leading lady panto role as the beautiful Jasmine. “I’m very excited about playing Princess Jasmine in this years Aladdin. There’s something so special about spending Christmas time at home in Ireland and I’m really looking forward to being part of the magic of Panto land once again.” Nadia said today.

Ultimate Big Brother star and TV host Brian Dowling returns to Dublin to play the hilarious Genie. Brian who is no stranger to panto said, “Although I am now based in the UK there is something about Christmas which makes me want to be at home with my family in Ireland. I was delighted when Alan and Karl asked me if I would come home this Christmas and once again join my ‘panto family’ at the Tivoli. It has been a number of years since I stepped onto that stage but I am really looking forward to it’.

Alan Hughes (TV3) returns to his role of the now famous ‘Sammy Sausages’ alongside Rob Murphy as the daddy-loving and children’s favourite ‘Buffy’, Donal Brennan who will play the title role of Aladdin and CARL STALLWOOD who is returning to the Tivoli to play the role of the Abbanazar.

Producer and writer Karl Broderick said he is so excited about this year’s cast and promised that Aladdin will be Anthem Productions, biggest most spectacular panto ever.

Halloween National Reptile Zoo Kilkenny

DayOut comments:

Visited here in Summer 2015 and it’s well worth a look. The team are very knowledgeable and passionate and getting up close to these reptiles is a really a unique experience that you simply won’t get anywhere else! We saw lots of reptiles, large snakes and were simply a sheet of polycarbonate away from the crocs/alligators. Viewing the inhabitants of the zoo during the day is one thing – doing it at night with just a glow stick adds an extra element! Hope we don’t meet this guy in the dark!
