“Steven Stead and Greg King of KickstArt have outdone themselves in their fourth annual panto and the result is magical. The production is tight, tailored and entirely professional and really showcases our local talent. King has delighted once again with a visual feast that seamlessly transforms the stage into anything from a leafy bridge to a bustling street in downtown Peking to the shadowy throat of a cave that hides the magic lamp. Don’t miss it!”

Emma Nicholson, The Daily News 04.12.2007

“A bright and sumptuous production offering a new tweak to the old fairytale, Stead having penned the script as well as directed with his customary panache and sense of clever mischief… spectacular sets… absolutely fabulous costumes… a show jam-packed with memorable moments.”

Billy Suter, The Mercury 30.11.2007

“The extremely talented duo of Steven Stead and Greg King continue their recent tradition of presenting a splendid holiday season pantomime suitable for all ages… Aladdin brings new delights. As one has come to expect, the sets designed by King are astounding, and the new script by Stead, who also directed the production with his usual flair, has some nice twists although it sticks to the well-known story. Children of all ages cannot help but be entranced!”
