LHK Productions have developed a stunning reputation for bringing family friendly pantomimes to a whole new generation of theatregoers, adding a modern twist to this much-loved form of entertainment.

Each production is made up of dazzling sets, sparkling costumes, laugh-a-minute scripts, wonderful songs and trademark choreography, all tied together with their unique Merseyside charm making LHK pantomimes as special as Christmas itself.

Lee Kelly, Director LHK Productions said “We are excited to return to The Atkinson in 2022 with our brand-new production of Aladdin. The reaction from audiences in Southport has been brilliant, we have some new tricks up our sleeve for you this Christmas!”

Charlotte Down, Marketing Manager at The Atkinson said “Families are at the heart of The Atkinson and a trip to the pantomime is a favourite Christmas tradition for many. Lee’s productions allow us to build upon our relationship with local families, schools and youth groups, and welcome new visitors into The Atkinson.”

David Eddy, Localities Team Manager North for Sefton Council said “The Atkinson’s ongoing collaboration with LHK provides a fantastic opportunity for The Atkinson to contribute to the growth of Sefton’s economy over the festive period.”

Aladdin tells the legendary rags to riches story of a Chinese street urchin who falls in love with a beautiful princess. Aladdin is sent into the cave of wonders by the evil Abanazar to fetch an old oil lamp that, unbeknown to Aladdin, houses an all-powerful Genie. When Aladdin rubs the lamp and unintentionally releases the Genie, the real adventure starts! Will Aladdin overcome the evil Abanazar and be free to marry his beautiful princess? Will the ever Genie gain his freedom? Will Widow Twanky and Wishy Washy get the laundry done in time?… Find out in this action packed, fun-filled extravaganza for the whole family. Your Christmas panto wish is our command!

Star studded cast to be announced Summer 2022.
