Panto breaks Theatre Royal record
January 21, 2008
The Theatre Royal, Newcastle, is celebrating its most successful pantomime season to date with audience figures reaching 77,000 and Box Office income hitting a staggering £1,111,621. The Qdos Entertainment production of Aladdin, which starred Clive Webb, Danny Adams and former Steps star Faye Tozer, has become the highest grossing pantomime in the Theatre Royal’s history.
Philip Bernays, Chief Executive of the Theatre Royal told Whatsonstage: “Audience feedback for Aladdin has been phenomenal and performances remained sold out right up to the final show on Saturday 19 January. We’d like to thank all the cast, creative team and everyone involved in Aladdin for giving us what is considered by many to be the best pantomime in the country. We added an extra week of Aladdin performances to cope with demand and we’ve done the same for our 2008/09 pantomime which has already sold 30,000 seats.”
The Theatre Royal’s 2008/09 pantomime Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates is the fastest selling pantomime in Qdos’ current portfolio which includes Grand Opera House, Belfast, King’s Theatre Edinburgh and Birmingham Hippodrome. Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates, starring Clive Webb and Danny Adams, appears at the Theatre Royal from Tuesday 2 December 2008 – Saturday 17 January 2009. Tickets are priced at £6.50 - £25.00 and can be purchased from the Theatre Royal Box Office on 08448 11 21 21 or online at www.theatreroyal.co.uk
