This week, we were joined by our stunning cast for our annual panto press day, which was filled, as always, with photoshoots, filming, and recording ads for TV and radio.

Jess Ncube dressed as Genie of the Lamp, Kian Zomorodian dressed as Aladdin, Natasha Cayabyab dressed as Jasmine and Lotte Bennett dressed as Spirit of the Ring all staring at the lamp Kian is holding in awe
James Mackenzie dressed as Abanazar holding a lamp with one hand and reaching his other hand over it menacingly with a very intense expression
Chris Pizzey dressed as Wishee Washee and Kian Zomorodian dressed as Aladdin both leaning either side of Nic Gibney dressed as Widow Twankey, they're all pulling silly faces
Nic Giney as Widow Twankey, Lotte Bennett as Spirit of the Ring, Jessica Ncube as Genie of the Lamp, and Chris Pizzey as Wishee Washee, all looking lovingly at Natasha Cayabyab as Jasmine, Kian Zomorodian as Aladdian who are arm in arm gazing at each other. Chris is holding a lamp and James Mackenzie as Abanazar is reaching round to pinch it from his hand
