The Théâtre de Variétés is gearing up for the return of its popular annual pantomime, Aladdin, with opening night now fast approaching. A fixture of Monaco’s festive calendar, the show draws families, locals and panto loyalists year after year, all eager for a healthy dose of seasonal silliness. This year’s production promises more of the same well-loved formula, delivered with the enthusiasm audiences have come to expect.
Producers say the show will stay true to pantomime tradition, offering a mix of lively musical numbers, colourful costumes and broad humour designed to keep both children and adults entertained.
Classic audience interactions — from shouted warnings to improvised back-and-forth with the cast — remain at the heart of the experience. These moments have long been part of the show’s charm, turning the evening into something far more communal than a standard night at the theatre.
The pantomime will run for two evenings, on Thursday, December 11, and Friday, December 12, both at 20:00, at the Théâtre de Variétés on Boulevard Albert 1er. With only a pair of performances scheduled this year, demand for seats is already high. Those planning to attend are encouraged to secure tickets without delay.
Tickets can be booked through The Drama Group’s website or directly via Weezevent.
