Swansea Grand announces that Welsh leading lady Celyn Cartwright will join the previously announced Panto legends Joe Pasquale and Kev Johns for a magical carpet ride into pantoland in this year’s family adventure Aladdin from 06 December 2025 to 04 January 2026
Playing the role of Spirit of the Ring, Celyn who hails from North Wales, is an accomplished musical theatre performer. She was the first-ever recipient of the prestigious Catherine Zeta Jones scholarship at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Her recent credits include leading lady in the UK tour of Come What May and principal vocalist in Michael Flatley’s Lord Of The Dance, performing to audiences across the globe. Panto lover Celyn is thrilled to be back ‘home’ in Wales this Christmas and says: ‘I’m over the moon to be back at Swansea Grand for this year’s panto. Nothing beats performing in front of a home crowd – the laughs, the energy, the Welsh warmth… it’s pure magic!’
Produced by award-winning Imagine Theatre, Aladdin will feature another dazzling digital set using LED screens with animated scenes and mesmerising effects plus all of the usual ingredients you would expect to see for a truly memorable pantomime – hilarious slapstick, plenty of audience interaction and marvellous musical numbers that you will be singing for days afterwards.
Will Aladdin be able to thwart the evil sorcerer, gain control of the magic lamp and win the heart of the girl he loves? Come along and find out!
Aladdin is a spectacular family adventure, and the Christmas treat you don’t want to miss. Book early for the best prices and availability.
